New compact circular saw from Festool???

[NickCopping]

Hi everyone...
I came across this picture of what appears to be a compact circular saw...anyone know what it actually is or if it is ... or perhaps an AI-generated 'thing' ...
Thanks for any information!

That does not appear to be real. No real manufacturer would have something like that without blade guards to start off with, and the logo isn't correct.

Agree both, what I thought but wanted to ask...thanks Peter.

I like how the teeth are pointed the wrong way. Climb cuts only with this baby.

That was my first observation.......AI is not as smart as it thinks it is.

Who would cut, with the base plate so far above the surface?

Exactly. Both dull and pointless.

A large swathe of "Influencers" I suspect would be likely culprits! ;-)

It cuts faster

The pizza cutter already exists, as a TS60. The blade is normal, smooth.
That would be a pizza splaterer

Very much AI generated, despite being "cute".

The teeth above the material are saw teeth. After the cut the blade turns into a chain cog apparently.

Fits right in the section with the official marketing material around of a pretty woman holding a soldering iron by the tip or supposedly soldering a crimp fitting with a heatgun.

All this AI shit is really pi$$ing me off more and more. Not this picture, that was just funny. But I mean the customer service that all switch to an AI phone menu that if it was a human would have been put into a closed institution...

I would also point out that even if it did exist, it would lack utility. I actually bought a small circular saw (4-1/2” blade maybe) to make plunge cuts in my soffits for vents. My full-sized battery operated saw was too heavy for that kind of overhead work.

The compact saw was light enough. But required two hands to operate, Plus the safety was so cumbersome that it was impossible to use overhead.

I made exactly one (1) cut with that saw. It was cheap, so I did not fret it too much, but effectively useless.

I ended up buying a DeWalt multi-tool. I would note that the multi-tools are still useful, but that usefulness will evaporate once some nut decides that there needs to be a mandatory safety guard on all multi-tools. Or even saw stop technology on them.

In any case, I would not buy that mini-saw even if it one day became available.
