Schneider Airsystems is owned by TTS Tool Systems (the owner of Festool)
They are the one's with the Systainer compressor as well [big grin]

For cutting tile, you wouldn't need a wet/dry vac, just a basin to collect the water, and the above-mentioned circulating pump.
You could actually rig something like this up with the TS-55(R), it's just operating the saw outside of factory recommendations. There are already plenty of water kits for circular saws out there (http://www.pearlabrasive.com/Pages/ItemProfile_Detail.aspx?ItemProfileId=871614&ItemClassNo=250), just get a 5" or 6" diamond blade, have the arbor bored to 20mm by your local blade shop, and make absolutely certain you're running on a GFCI.
Years ago I installed a lot of decks that consisted of 2'x2'x2" concrete pavers. I made all of the cuts with a worm drive saw (with water kit), Festool tracks, and a custom sub-base that I made that allowed the worm saw to integrate with the Festool track.
Later, I used the same setup for cutting floor tiles, using the water kit.
Still later, I used the setup with dry dust extraction to cut up wall tiles for a kitchen back splash.
If you plan on performing A LOT of wet cutting, you'd probably want to buy a TS-55/75 dedicated to the task, reserving your primary TS-55/75 for carpentry. According to my local Festool Rep, there are plenty of local granite counter top companies that fit diamond blades on their TS-55's. Granted, they burn the saws up quickly and void the warranty, but the utility and profit the saws deliver during their short lives more than makes up for the cost of replacement saws.
Work safe, and have fun! [big grin]

I'd definitely consider getting a second/used TS to see if I can rig this up. I'm curious if mitered edges can be achieved this way. I've seen many smaller fabricators use a rail guided wet saw (e.g. Accuride) that costs $2k. Its rail system is a bit more beefy/stable compared to a Festool track though.

I'd like to see them make a benchtop bandsaw. I am new to Festool however I am a long time admirer and the dust collection, system integration is awesome.

Cordless Sawsall. Anything cordless. It will go great with my T-18 and my future purchase of the PDC and BOH-18.

Having just purchased a Carvex I'd really like them to make another angle base where the whole base remains flat as it tilts and has space for dust collection.
