[member=61691]TSO_Products[/member] That GRS looks like an exact replica of your company. Did you license it to them? You must have. Great for you and TSO.

I still prefer my original Blue one

The new TKS 80 doesn't look badly priced. Comparable price to a CS70.

Thanks for the heads-up  [thumbs up]

Just wanted to pull the trigger on a EC 70.

Anybody familiar with the "reliability" of these planned release dates? For he TKS 80, they say (EU) July?

I could wait a few months, but when July becomes September, November, December i'm not that sure...

Yeah, I assume in Germany will sell for just under 2K. And you go from 70 to 80 cut height.

The Festool saw with the sawstop technology is indeed priced well.

Someone has already released a similar 90 degree angle jig soon after TSO did.

The instarail square is similar in function. The Festool version is identical to the grs16 PE down to even having the tapped and through holes for mounting to the mft3 guide rail hinge and the TSO parallel guides.

Interesting to see what TSO has to say about this?

The German website is currently in maintenance mode (…).  [eek]

That work table looks sweet.. I can see a lot of MFT being sold in the classifieds when Its released in the states.

Also for us who have the CMS with the TS module, that fence for the new saw looks interesting. Looks like it might have a micro adj for it.

XXL Systainer got me curious.

All these are great for the small shop.

I can see FT getting into my wallet again.

Are these going to be released to the states in April ?

 

[Michael Kellough]

Sure hope the rail square is licensed by TSO.

The tablesaw appears to be too short.

The folding worktable cutting table could be handy. Looks like it might not be sufficiently supportive to be a worktable.

If the release of this folding table leads too people selling MFTs then they never learned how to use the MFT.

Looks like we now know why the new roll board has a flat top rather than having the Systainers set  into  it.  [wink]

And the extra long Systainer .........................  I already built my own.  [smile]

          Custom extra long Systainer

Please show how us to properly use the MFT , 

Please show us how to tilt the MFT to make it easier to set panels on.

Please show us how to adjust the height of the MFT of us shorter folks.

Snip.
The tablesaw appears to be too short.

I believe the new table saw is designed to be small for people who already have the means to handle longer stock, i.e. track saw users. Track saws struggle with certain stock sizes and cuts and the new saw fills the gap and with an enhanced safety feature.

Snip.
The folding worktable cutting table

I agree. As presented without a top, it isn't a worktable which you can do assembly on among other things. It can't replace an mft either as it has no top and dog holes. Is Festool releasing other accessories to make it a worktable?

 

[zapdafish]

any of this for the 2020 USA market?

 

[zapdafish]

how does the TKS 80 EBS compare to the Erika in price and functionality? Had a bad case of sticker shock when I was looking into the Erika, lol

 

[Cheese]

The worktable is priced at $1404... [eek] 

The FS-WA Rail is priced at $158 vs $180 for the TSO product.
