I think I remember seeing the Festool roadshow truck in the video.

It wouldn’t have been that International LoneStar one, [member=44099]Cheese[/member] - even if Festool had paid $zillions to get it over here from NA. US trucks aren’t legal for use in Europe because of regulations limiting the length of the overall truck/trailer rig. That’s why every semi in Europe is hauled by a cabover - to maximise trailer capacity within the overall maximum rig length. In NA, the only restriction applies to the length of the trailer on its own - so it can legally be hauled by a semi tractor with an apartment-block-sized sleeper cab. I once saw a video about a guy who had a custom stretched Kenworth which was almost as long as his trailer.

Plus - if you zoom in on the pic, the guy sitting with his back to the camera is wearing a baseball cap and holding a beer. He therefore has to be American  [big grin] [big grin]

It's actually as easy as looking at the license plate on the bumper. That length-width ratio in not even close the the European size.

Suuuuure likely story. Well here ya go:

I like the digital display showing the blade height and angle to tenths of a degree.

Well they definitely wouldn't like some of the rigs we have for long haul across OZ then!

LOL...Ya I took that at the Festool Road Show when Betterly's hosted it about 4 years ago. The same folks that produce these items.

Big mistake to put on a roadtrain pic like that for a Brit truck nerd who's addicted to 'Outback Truckers' [member=75933]luvmytoolz[/member]  [big grin]

I see that some of the roadtrains for mine haul applications around Pilbara have now gotten so huge that the manufacturers are using an additional 600-horsepower engine slung underneath one of the trailers.

Back on topic - I don't understand Festool's apparent reluctance to get potential buyers excited about a new product, unless it's still in the developmental stage and is still a long way off. I believe (rightly or wrongly) that these occasional glimpses of what's to come are a surefire way of generating interest. My TS60's coming in November - I ordered it just from seeing the promo video.

Yea, but you still have to set the miter gauge the old-fashioned analog way...  [poke]

How can I possibly get the correct 19.7 degrees I need for that cut?

Not sure how the saw actually works as the video is not in English, but if it has an overriding feature, an inclinometer should do the job.

If it was not apparent, that was meant as irony. Or sarcasm. I get mixed up sometimes. [smile]

[ChuckM]

Haha. You got me.

 

[Bertotti]

I was excited when I first started to watch. Learning it uses batteries completely rules it out for me.

For anyone interested, I did some sleuthing on where this presentation likely took place:

• In the video (see screenshot), you can see a poster on the glass door behind the saw advertising (in French) that the "Festool Roadshow 2022" will be stopping at "CIPAC" on Thursday, September 29th.
• A search for "CIPAC" revealed them to a Belgian tool and hardware store (https://www.cipac.be/ )
• On their fb page (https://www.facebook.com/cipacpro ) a post for the event (https://www.facebook.com/events/792934332153914/ ) confirmed the above with the added detail of it being the CIPAC branch located in Wavre, Belgium (https://goo.gl/maps/oePewsgKX6ViVHQ47 )

Now the real questions are:

• When will Festool officially announce it in other countries?
• Which countries/markets will it be available in and when?
• What will it cost?
• Will there be an option to plug it into the AC power grid via an adapter similar to the one they offer for some sanders?
• Oh, and how much money does a kidney sell for these days? (asking for a friend)

Good detective work!

I know it runs on batteries, but damn it is so cute!

I hate to think what the RRP will be for us in OZ when it finally releases!

[welcome] & nice start on your FOG cred!

I would love to have this saw in my small basement shop where I don't have room to park an AC powered table saw full time.

With the stand this can fold up and sit in the corner until needed then be set up fairly quickly. And when I head out to work away from the shop it can travel with me.

I hope this makes it to the North American market.

 

[Cheese]

Good job on the spelunking.  [thumbs up]

I'll add one more question, does it incorporate a SawStop brake cartridge?

Like Bob, I'd love to have one of these in the basement, put the Bosch down the road and regain some valuable room.  [smile]

 

[Packard]

There is a dual power site saw.  It will run on line current or batteries.  I cannot recall who makes it though.  One of the majors—I don’t remember which.

Unfortunately even in OZ you only have two kidneys, and you need at least one.  [eek]

For those who know does the cartridge require a constant power supply@120v,however i think it would have been demo in the video.I reposted one of the four iphone videos of the event in my opening post about 14 min.

 

[GregorHochschild]

I think the answer is no SawStop brake. Someone on the Facebook group commented that the SawStop technology relies on a ground connection so it's not possible with a battery powered saw. But I am just repeating what I read somewhere else. Someone else might have a better understanding...
