So much complaining, entitlement and arm chair quarterbackery.
If you are referring to me ( the OP) I really and truly could not care any less. This saw has been a complete waste of time and money for me, and festool has been evasive and nonchalant about what is causing the problems. I talked to a service tech today. They refuse to take responsibility for it, in spite of the fact that I KNOW without any doubt that it's NOT user error causing the motor failures. They know it too, but want to talk about sharp blades, adequate power to the saw, etc, when I have been ridiculously overcautious about those things.I own/owned 10+ other festool machines over the last 9 years and have had no problems, it's just the kapex.......... I've had a paying job since I was 11 years old and am 37 now. I have worked for everything I own, no entitlement needed, I just want this company to admit they make lemons sometimes and correct the problem. Honestly, the saw should have been completely replaced after the second motor failure IMO. It pretty obvious I'm being stuck with paying for repair costs because the machine has never been properly fixed to begin with. Seems like they should find the root of the problems and fix it if they wont do the right thing and replace the saw.
