good day to all . I woke up[ this morning to an email from Festool new product being unveiled on the 8th at pm Eastern time. I was just wondering if anyone might have an idea what maybe hitting the shelves that may empty my wallet. I wonder if its is their Jobsite saw that is available outside the USA.  I think that tool is going to be one of there most expensive tools.. I was able to say I was in another country when looking online and that job site saw is like 2400 bucks. it sure looks pretty cool but that is a ton of money.. I may have that figure incorrect but that is what my worn out old brain is pulling up.. well I am just curious what the announcement might be..
 
Going off what I’ve seen on FB and forum posts, looks like a CXS18 and TXS18, reciprocating saw and a TSV60 with a scoring blade attachment.

I’m pretty keen to check out the CXS18!
 
Not so much a tool and not so much unheard of yet, but the new energy sets with the duo charger. An energy set with 4 & 5Ah batteries was up on Recon last week that was tempting but still was much more than what I'm looking for: the duo charger and a pair of 4s.

Do wish they based the duo charger on the SCA-8 rather than the TCL-6 as the charging times for >= 4Ah batteries is much faster.

Yes, I also like the time indicator LED's of the sca-8, and really dislike the coil-whine sound of my tcl-6.

The lack of "unveiling" emails in Germany, leads me to believe it might not be the CXS/TXS 18, but maybe the TS60K.

Aha... [scratch chin]...that makes sense. Most of the time we have a product lag of around 6 months with the rest of the markets  so that may be it.  [smile]

Although it could be the cordless MIDI vac which would help back-fill the product lineup as the cordless CTC SYS 1 is already available in the states.

Just noticed the corded CT SYS is no longer available. [sad]
 
Sedge mentioned it on "Live" yesterday too. It was somewhat cryptic, be he seemed to hedge toward the saws...maybe the TS60?
 
Sedge also kinda hinted at a cordless rotex model!

I caught that, but he seemed to indicate that is was more of a future thing, like next year? or later

If I could suddenly become a reader of tea leaves...I think you're right about the TS 60.

I was watching Festool Live Episode 126 today and at the 28:28 time stamp, Sedge mentioned that "at the moment" the TS 55 FEQ was the newest saw.
Then again at time stamp 30:28 he said that his go-to saws are the TSC 55 KEB & the TS 55 FEQ "at this moment" and then gave us the Austin Powers move.

I really didn’t follow the TS60. Other than scoring, why it over the 75?  Size I would guess

No, the TS 75 stands on its own merits, the TS 55 on the other hand has always been just a little shy of cutting depth when placed on a rail. This is the Golden Goose reply.

The TS 75 is large and heavy for cutting sheet goods.

The 'standard' TS60 doesn't have scoring, only the forthcoming TSV60.
 
The TS60:


As a previous owner of a TS75, I'd go get the TS60 without thinking twice IF I wanted another Festool track saw.

I'm more interested in the KSC 60 that's coming to the N.A. market (though I have no plans to have any cordless saw or a smaller saw than my KS120).
 
So is the TS60 better in every way than the 55? Only thing I'd miss is the riving knife. Does it use thinner blades like the newer models?

There were many times ripping 8/4 lumber I wish I had that extra depth capacity.
