Honest opinion about Ts75 power

Oh Peter....  just listen to that saw cutting the slab. Struggling , binding, shuttering, vibrating.  Keep on apologizing. I will keep on pushing festool to do better. I can say what J want about their saws and so can you.
 
I wasn’t apologizing merely stating a fact.  You weren’t comfortable and didn’t like the TS-75 and that is your right and decision. I respect that.

If a tool doesn't live up to YOUR expectations...don't get it or move on.  Get your Mafell, Makita, or whatever else works for YOU.  As for me and my shop...my Festools work as advertised.  If they didn't, I would follow my own advice and get rid of them and get something else that works for me.  But as I previously stated, along with the other Festool items that I own, the TS75 has worked as advertised for over 2-1/2 years.  It's paid itself off within the first couple months easily.  [big grin]

Festool is supposed to be overhauling their track saw line-up in 2019.
What is the source of this information?

Several people on the forum have indicated there would be something new happening with Festool Track saws next year.  We'll have to wait for Feb 2019 to see what actually happens.
 
Txfiveo. Yes sir. Hell why discuss anything. Let’s just just keep it all to ourselves 
I offer my experiences some good some bad with festool products. Planer, routers, vacuums and sanders good. Saws not so much. If you do not like what J day than take your own advice and do not read it. I started the thread and it’s still a free speech country.
 
I've used my TS75 on 8/4(+) Yellow Pine, Ash, and White Oak, cross and rip with the blade that came with it and had no problems. I just went slow. Doubt there are much harder domestics than Ash and White Oak. Always planned to get a Panther blade, just haven't done much in the shop lately.
 
Glass, listen to your own advice.  Others have chimed in saying they have zero issues, but you do.  We are so sorry for your disappointment, but good luck with the Makita.  Hope it serves you well.  Festool isn't the best at everything for everybody. 
 
moving on from the kool aid folks....  Got some more time with the of2200.  running off the ct 33 in a single pass 9/19 x 7/8 plugged into a 20 amp breaker....  all good than pop.... had a makita double charger plugged in too... reset breaker...  checked ct 33.... full bag caused the ct to load up the amps ... new bag and routed away. This is an amazing machine. The kapex is so overpriced the makita scms and the of2200 are less money !  But props to festool for making the of2200.

You expressed your thoughts and experiences and others did also.  If you wish your your opinions to be respected than perhaps you should not diss those whose experiences are also posted here.

....don’t get it or move on...  was this an order ?  What goes around comes around. Like I said I started the thread.  If you do not want to participate..... don’t. But my unbiased opinion speakers for itself... some good some bad. I will post some pics later of the Mahogny rain screen progress and work flow.  Good day to all.

I read him as politely asking to lose the attitude.

In case you want help with your issue I would suggest you start with answering the questions asked so we (as in the forum members) can try to figure out what the exact problem that you experience with your tool (the probability of it being with the TS 75 in general, as you repeatedly claim, is quite low as others have the same tool while not experiencing the issue) actually is.

TL;DR: In case you want to harvest the knowledge of the forum to solve your issue please employ a solution oriented mindset.
 
Gregor thx for the lecture. I have moved on, my conclusion is that my standard for acceptable power/performance is higher than most on this forum for a saw, ie the ts saws and kapex. I am hardly alone. 
 
Why don't we all move on to another thread instead of letting this one fester.

This thread is now locked.
