Wanted to add my thoughts on this after 1 year in use both in the shop and in the field for installs:
1. Mine arrived with the broken parts. Festool warranty took care of me pretty promptly.
2. Just from general use the locking mechanism on one of the casters has fallen apart on me, I've since had to replace that caster.
3. For installs I use a trailer to transport my tools. If I didn't and ran a van I probably would choose a lighter weight option than this, but because of that the heaviness doesn't bother me and I find that it's a great tool to have on site for use when doing scribes.
4. At the shop a delivery truck driver dropped a piece of 5'x10' 1" thick MDF from 10' onto it. It bent a few locking pins and two of the casters and two of the extensions. Obviously this is out of scope of what it was designed for but I was able to replace the parts from eKat fairly drama free. All things considered it held up really well to that.
5. Throw out any ideas of this being flat-ish or coplanar. it's a cutting stand and the stand itself conforms to whatever floor you are on. Even on concrete floors do not expect this to provide you a flat, assembly table type surface. I wish the when using it for outfeed of MFT height tools they made it sit 5mm lower to accommodate this.
6. I use the tip-up feature far less often than I expected. It's kind of fiddly and silly in use. I end up sliding a stack of material out of the truck horizontal onto it, and then use stickers between sheets to do my rip cuts before transferring to the larger table saw.
Overall, I use the heck out of this thing. I think it's definitely overpriced a bit but I've certainly got my monies worth.
