One for the Aussies...

[Stephen B]

[size=14pt]Noticed on the UK site a new saw with rail - HK85. A bigger capacity HK55.

Wonder when this saw will be released in Aust. To my mind, this would be a far more versatile saw than the HK 55 in housing and other construction. It is however corded, but for me that might be an advantage.

Also noted that UK also has a corded HK55.

As much as i get the sweats if i think about missing out on a Festool goody bag, I've already seen the new tools..

 

[Bohdan]

I've seen the new tools but can't resist a goodies bag, going Friday.

Where is this strange foreign land called "Melbourne" ?

That's the place where Aussies who know live.

I might pop in on Friday arvo. I think the diamond cutting system would be awesome. I never actually have to cut concrete / tiles etc. What other justification could I use?

Fibro / weatherboard sheets, etc.

We've been known to use that stuff in the warmer zones - no sure about "Melbourne"

Hi All,

May be a silly question... For that that have entered the C18 competition how did you go with the chuck question? I can only find that the DD-AS is a real FastFix chuck. Question wont allow checking 2 answers.

Which of the following are not FastFix chucks? DD-AD, DD-AS, DD-RH.

Thanks,

Scott

It seems that no one is going to answer your question Scottan before Sunday night.  [smile] [member=48627]Scottan[/member]

Just Tools Festool Demo Days.
I turned up Friday around 10.20am. Had a demo and even was given a tryout on the HKC 55. Very impressed, although would have like to see it cutting Mountain Ash or another hardwood rather than ply. Certainly a future consideration.

There were a few there by the time I left [my big purchase for the day was a Centrotec 8mm bitt], including one who may have been Bohdan [and who gave me a nod  [smile]], and a 'tradie' who looked to be Ben's younger brother [and who acknowledged the kit price's value  [smile]].

Unfortunately I was in a bit of a rush and was on my way by 10.45am after a quick chat with Bryan from JT and with my swag.  [smile]
