Thank you Grob  [thumbs up]

The plungebase is quite interesting.

there is although a video available:

Any reason to believe these accessories won’t be compatible with the corded Vecturo? Has anyone seen anything official that addresses backwards compatibility explicitly?

Good question, however some of those accessories are already available for the corded one. They look identical to me.

Not sure if they share the same part # but i would guess a YES!

Available at L.V.

For that matter, I don't see why the accessories won't be compatible with any Fein products as well. The head looks exactly the same, they just have that removable accessory ring.

The plunge base is different ..................  no dust shroud or depth stop on the old plunge base.

But the attachment portion does look the same.

I hope they are compatible.

The attachment portion (labeled B in your pics) will be different.

The new Starlock Plus System has a bigger diameter for the tool holder.

I am using the old Festool parts (old corded Vecturo) on the current Fein SuperCut.
The attachment needed to spend some time on the lathe for a quick “diet”.

Also I think the dust extraction features will be worth the upgrade. Hopefully the mounting holes are still the same. [emoji56]

Well I hope they retained the magnet on the front of the base...however that may be the location where the new DC port is.

 

[James Biddle]

That battery looks different than the other 18 volt.  Are they compatible?

 

[grobkuschelig]

Hi James,

It is a normal 3.1 ah battery.
Those are normally packaged with the “compact” versions of drills etc.

You most likely are used to 5.2 ah batteries, which are more of a standard on the tools sets...

The Vecturo runs on the batteries any drill/saw runs on (besides 10.8V, obviously...)

Additionally, I get the impression from the official specs on festool.de and from previous leaks that it only runs on the compact BP 18 Li 3,1 and not the larger pack (similar to how the circular saw only runs on the 5.2Ah variant, not the compact). Would like to be corrected if that's wrong.

 

[grobkuschelig]

Festool reached out and sent me one! [emoji33]

Just kidding. [emoji12]

The magnet is preserved and set up  [wink]

It is used battery 18V 5.2Ah ;-)

That is getting right to the point. Great demonstration, although I have no clue what was said.

That's a relief - does the oscillator feel difficult to handle with the larger battery or is it pretty much the same with both sizes? Thanks for the video!
