Just sold my Carvex, P1cc will be my next jigsaw.

Sold because of the tilt base issue?

Is that a Planet Eclispe I see????

Hah-hah! Nope, Bob Long G6R  [big grin]

REALLY looking forward to the ground thawing so the season can get underway, looking forward to competing in local events, as well as hopefully a few trips to Chicago for either CPL or MWXL events.

Love your Flexes!  [cool]

Sold because of the tilt base issue, because of the blade clamps, because of the dust collection, because of the sheer space the saw and accessories occupy (Sys1 AND a Sys2?!? P1cc fits both bases and all accessories into a Sys1), because I'm shifting to the Mafell track system.

Don't get me wrong, the Carvex is a nice little jigsaw, and I think that certain users will get a lot of mileage out of the bases optimized for different materials. That being said, if I'm going to spend some serious $$$ on a top line jigsaw, I don't want to feel like I compromised.

Here's a nice video comparing various pro-level jigsaws:
