HI my name is Tom and I just bought a festool plunge saw.
She was purchased fri morn and I had to wait until sat to fire her up, it was a long wait. I brought her over to my friends shop to finish a little project i did for him.
Two tops, alder 1.75" thick, he needed two iscoeles triangles, six cuts total. After a bit of layout I find that the 2 long legs are 54.875" lust at the range of my stock length rail. I knew I would have a little wobble upon entrance and exit, but I am a cabinet maker of some 17 years exp and feel confidant.
MY friend, the shop owner, stood by as cut this large expensive glued up piece of wood.
Wow-really wow no bogging, no burning(it is alder), and the cut barley needed polishing, light hand sanding thats all.
Frankly this saw is the nicest piece of machinery I currently own(I like it better than my 1969 Kawasaki two-stroke triple).
I'm bringing it into my shop(not mine -work) monday morn will consider using it instead of the holz-her 1265 vert panel saw we use(it is almost useless as a production tool). This saw is very close to a cabinet shop in a box.
Any ways I just found your forum and signed up, it looks like a great place.
Cheers
Tom
