New Cordless Vecturo officially announced

[GavsterUK]

For anyone in Europe who already owns a cordless Vecturo, are you able to speak to whether the new and improved accessories (now with dust collection!) are a) backwards compatible with the older corded Vecturo and/or 2) compatible with the Fein Multimaster 350QSL? If the OSC ring fits over the head of the current version of the Multimaster and the associated bolt-hole pattern matches same, then this would open up a wonderful opportunity for MM owners to benefit from the dust collection advancements evident in the new OSC Vecturo.

The question of compatibility has been asked multiple times both here and elsewhere but no one has yet responded to it. I, for one, am looking forward to the answer.

Right here goes...had a bit of a play today... 8) :

You CAN fit the New Starlock Vecturo accessory mount to the Starlock Supercut.
You CANNOT fit the NEW Vecturo accessories to the OLD Vecturo mount.
You CAN actually fit the NEW Vecturo Mount to the OLD vecturo BUT it does not allow correct operation, so do NOT do this, we only performed a test.
We presume the same goes for the old supercut but we do not have a machine to test.
You CAN fit the NEW Vecturo mount to the Starlock Multimaster BUT the Multimaster is only rated to Starlock plus so not recommended.

DISCLAIMER, these tests were just to see if things physically fit we haven't carried out extensive testing , please follow manufacturers instructions at all times to avoid voiding the warranty.

Hope this helps folks! [smile]

I'm curious what you mean by that? In what way is the operation impeded?

Little hard to explain..
But the new collet or adaptor is too deep hence the the blade doesn't seat correctly.
on the new Vecturo the tool holder is deeper.

pics below. Hopefully makes sense.

Thanks...so when you put the blade in, the blade probably contacts the new adapter?

[member=34503]Havwoods Accessories Ltd[/member] - Could you please expand on your statement: "You CAN fit the NEW Vecturo mount to the Starlock Multimaster BUT the Multimaster is only rated to Starlock plus so not recommended." I'm not sure what you mean by these machine's respective "ratings" and how this effects their use in conjunction with the new dust collection accessories.

I own a 350QSL and would like to be able to purchase and utilize the OSC accessories since FEIN doesn't currently supply (and has never supplied) 'bladed' dust collection for the MM.

I look forward to your reply. Also, feel free to PM me with your answer if youvre not comfortable sharing it publicly.

[member=68525]usernumber1[/member] no official word. Tools are typically introduced in the European market 6-12 months in advance of their debut in the U.S/Canada.

I just took a look at the 2019 Festool catalog and the OSC 18 is not listed in there.

[member=44099]Cheese[/member] , thanks for the heads up on a new catalog being out.  I had no idea.

For those looking for the catalog right now here is a link:  https://www.festoolusa.com/knowledge/catalog-request  Once you get to the interactive catalog you can use the little icons on the screen to download a pdf if you wish.

It isn't populated on the webpage where the other catalogs are / have been.

I'll add to that Peter that you MUST use the icons on the bottom of the screen/page to save it in .pdf form. I tried saving it as a web file and that completely destroyed its functionality.

We haven't announced a date for the cordless Vecturo in NA yet. The FOG will definitely know once an announcement is made.

Does anyone know if it's coming to Australia?

I need one of these

It's also not in the 2019 USA catalog.

My guess is that it will be a late fall introduction. Probably September/October.

For example the ETS EC was a September 2015 introduction. While the HKC was a September 2016 introduction.
