My nearly 12 year old TS55 has started to noticeably blog down cutting sheet goods. It did this once before. Last time, I sent it in and paid for a repair. Now I am wondering what to do. Send it in again? Last time Festool said the issue was caused by a faulty plug-it cord. I replaced the plug-it cord with a new one I had from another tool. No other tool had an issue last time or this time. I use the same cord for every tool I use with the CT36.
Should I just get a new track saw since mine is nearly 12 years old and is having this issue for the second time? If so I could the TSC55 to get rid of the cord/hose and just use the dust bag. Or I could get the TS60. I am mostly shop base so the cord and hose are not huge issues. But I definitely see advantages of going cordless since I have several 18V Festool batteries and chargers from other tools.
