Has anybody tried cross cutting a 2400x600 sheet of 18/22mm chipboard flooring with the 670mm rail, is the rail too short to do this?

Well down here it will be too short because the most commonly sold chipboard flooring is at 3600X900X19mm or 1800X900X19mm.

[600mm is available, but not generally the basic stock at most Timber suppliers.]

I assume we are on the same page regarding chipboard flooring - generally, depending on thickness, with a yellow, red or blue plastic tongue on one long edge, slot groove on the opposite.

I had to use mine for floor decking yesterday as my hilti is in for repair, needed 2 batteries for the day compared to 1 on my hilti and Ive got my base covered in poly glue [scared]
 
Thought as much....just trying to justify it! Unfortunately it's not needed in my arsenal at present. More joinery at the moment. Cheers guys

Could this in theory, be used to mitre skirting board?

I used my ts55 years ago to do some mitres on skirting in an emergency. I did make a simple jig though to hold the skirting.

So it is possible
 
Crikey... that big  HCK 132 E. [eek]

Looks like festool are really socking it to mafell now.(Not that they ever needed too)
 
Not sure if this came out of Holz-Her remnants, Wedlingdon, or that old Siemans plant in Narex-land Ceska Lipa.. nonetheless, it 'twas quite Festool enough.

Ok everyone going to have to call Festool in the morning I was using the hkc for proper roof work I was cutting 35x95 roof trusses and it really struggled with a panther blade in it I got out done by a makita since I have got it it's been ok but have never really worked it hard. I think I have a dud  [crying]
 
I had totally different  experience
On bevel siding......  Faster more accurate then
any other method
Framing in attic .....excellent and accurate
Yes it could use a little more power
Trim boards exterior... no fussing with set up
Accurate ,light enough to move where it is needed
All this applies with FSK
4 moths heavy usage  happy all around
The only saw that produces same results is the Maffel
Wish I could have tried on but no luck
I also don't know of any other with FSK type which is the heart of this
Maybe the saw is for different application what you used it for
Santa is bringing me a corded one hopefully
(Santa is in my valet didn't have time to order it)

My experience is the same nippy, I'm happy with the saw but only for 1" timber
hilti 36v is for 2" speed square for a cross cut guide or use a festool rail if its a wide cut

Ye seems ok for 25mm stuff fine for in chipboard and osb and ply but try it on cls or reg and treated it really struggles which is no use to me if it can't cut something 55mm which its design for what is the point
