Guys I have just joined this forum looking at Festool to replace my existing workshop kit.
Does anyone here use the CMS or Precisio as a dedicated table/panel saw by using the extension table and fence accessories ?
I need a portable but reliable system as I don't have a dedicated workshop.
I search around this great forum and then realised there is not much information available since you can't get these models in the USA (due to safety regulations ?). So I am relying on the rest of the world for advice.
I am particularly interested if the fence is steady and accurate for consistent sheet/stock cuts that need to be repeated numerous times ? especially when cutting long sheets to size longitude and latitude. Also how accurate the mitre guide is as well.
I have seen the talk about whether the TS55 with the rail guides can be used alone or requires a table saw to compliment it and I'm of the opinion that I will need both. The best option I think for me is to buy the CMS and TS55 module table with the extension table and fence to have a table/panel saw but at the same time allow me to take the TS55 out for hand held tasks like ripping a sheet to a workable size to put on the table saw. Also gives me the option to buy other modules systems like the one for the router.
Any advice or feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks in advanced.
