My Dewalt jig saw has bit the dust

[Mike Espo]

  In the market for a Festool Jig saw, doesn't have to be the newest model, I just want to make small cuts that I can't do with my track saw.

Thanks Guys

Are you looking to buy new?  Or used?

I have a older model Trion PS300 barrel grip.  Love it!

Here is a video I did to show you a little of what it can do.

and since it's a used tool how much would you like for it?

Mike

I think he's just sharing info about Festool, not trying to sell, but maybe I'm wrong. FWIW, my Carvex is incredibly better than my Dewalt jigsaw, available at a Festool dealer near you or online

I'm not looking to sell mine.   [scared]

I was just trying to help by showing you what the PS300 can do.  If you're looking to buy a used one then you should place a Willing To Buy ad in the Classified section.   If you're looking to buy a new one then there are several good Festool dealers here on the FOG that would more then happy to help you with a purchase.  

Sorry for any confusion I may have caused.   But you didn't specify if you wanted to buy a used one or new one…... [embarassed]

Trion is a great saw at a very reasonable Festool price. But if you want all the accessories or a cordless saw, you will need to spend the big bucks on a Carvex.

Trion would work for me!

Lucky you! Wish my Dewalt would die. Perhaps I'll have to just sell it on CL...

the bar that locks in the base to set degree setting doesn't lock anymore.

I've recently gone from a Dewalt DW331 to the corded Carvex. There was nothing wrong with the Dewalt, it was and still is a perfectly serviceable saw. My reason for upgrading was my dissatisfaction with dust extraction and straight cuts.

It's a little ironic really that the Dewalt gets rid of dust from the cut line quite effectively, the only problem with it is that it shoot the debris forward via a stream of air aimed forward of the blade. The saw is now relegated to metal and rough lumber.

I understand that the Trion has similar blade guides to the Carvex, if so then it is a reasonable upgrade comparative to a Dewalt in my opinion. Can't comment on the dust extraction on the Trion however.

I would add that the multiple base option on my Carvex has proved it's worth several times and the strobe effect is superb for a clear sight of the cut line.
