Just curious  . . . Do the specs show improvements over the previous model? Like motor? Any others? I don't know the specs from the previous generation and, given FOG feedback, there seems to be at least some question about durability of the motor. I know at least 2 people who have never had a problem that they didn't cause, but  . . . just wondering if Festool has made improvements that others believe are significant.

Don't know for sure, the limited electrical specs that they list are the same as for the original Kapex. It just appears to be cosmetic changes.

Any word on the new cordless Vecturo and cordless grinder. Found a screenshot of the technical info of the Vecturo. not sure if anyone has posted this yet. It is from a different forum I am also apart of.http://forum.toolsinaction.com/topic/14416-new-vecturo-spotted/?tab=comments#comment-201155

The new models aren't on EKAT yet so difficult to tell whether any parts have been replaced/updated/are different. All will become clear within the next month I would think.

Nothing I've seen yet other than the model names. I'd expect them to be released in the second half of 2019 so news will likely trickle out between now and then.

The TKS 80 table saw is going to be at a woodworking show in Munich in January, and that's not available in the first half of the year to my knowledge, so it's always possible there may be other "new" tools being shown there too.

Seems they also moved the storage location for the miter gauge. I have hated the original location since day one of owning!

What I don't like is that I have to remember the orientation in which to insert it (it fits only one way), apart from that it works.

I'm not certain about the new storage location (at the back) being a better solution though, will it reliably hold the miter gauge in place when folded down on the UG cart and is accessibility, regardless of the current miter setting, better than being able to put it into a hole at the front?

Here's the UK 110 volt version. Unfortunately the REB version is not in Ekat yet.  [sad]

Strangely these new Kapex saws are not mentioned under New Products?
Maybe because these are updated R-models?

Looks like there going with the smaller batteries as in the Ergo 3.1ah batteries. Wonder what kind of runtime there getting out of them? How do the the sanders fare out with them?

The tail end of the Vecturo in the screenshot looks very similar to the tail end of a PSC 420 with its standard non-ergo battery inserted and seen from above, though - same protrusions left and right of the main body.

Ano  [smile] Vecturo OSC 18 is a brother Fein SuperCut AFSC 18 QSL. It uses classic accumulators Festool 18V  3,1Ah-6,2Ah  [smile]

I mean that kind of has to be it. Pretty excited to see this little guy especially with that dust collection. I guess I have to start saving up for the $3k they'll charge.

I wish they invested some time in fixing the crappy CS-CMS fence.

The REB models are also showing on SA Festool website along with a new crown stop attachment #203356 but the old version seems to still be compatible. New one looks like it might work with the UG cart based on the photos.

Interestingly enough, the C18/T18 Sets have new numbers and have a "new" on their page for that option.
However nothing has changed inside?

This is on the SA site and UK Festool website (uk still lists old option, sa not) - I assume most sites are the same globally

 

[JEKL]

C18/T18 change the charger. Old version of SET - charger SCA 8. New version of SET - charger TCL6.
Saws are now equipped with a battery Bluetooth.

Couldn't agree more.

On the upside, it looks like the TKS 80 therefore shares table and profile dimensions with the CS 70 and MFT-3/VL so will be able to utilise other accessories such as the extension tables and sliding table etc.
