No. Sawstop needs a ground.
They could easily cater to that by replacing the electrical switch with a mechanical one: a Bowden cable and a tool specific 'finger' that attaches to the tool to press the trigger when the lever on the other side of the cable is pulled. Should have no issues, as the tools already have NVR build-in.squall_line said:
So it's likely that we have to deal with we don't want, instead of we can't.

A physical extension cable switch (I'm thinking similar to remote shutter releases of yore) would need to be unique for each tool.
I suppose that since the mounting plate for each tool is also unique, there may be a case to be made for including a unique cable attachment for each, but you start to lose portability and convenience in that case.
I don't know for sure, but I wouldn't be surprised if the "off" switch on a table has a regulation attached that requires it to be a physical power cutoff rather than just releasing a tool trigger. And if not a regulation, then at least an expectation based on years and years of precedence.
Not that you couldn't incorporate a dual-action power-cut/cable-release mechanism, but now you're getting into some semi-serious R&D that probably wasn't justified by the sales volumes of the CMS product line.

True, but if you put a newer tool with an NVR switch in the CMS, you'll drive yourself crazy powering the tool on any time you need it.

TBH I do not really need one, but I decided I really need one. It is just so good for my purposes. I owned a Bosch table saw and got rid of it because is was just unpractical, big chunky plastic thing that did not fit right anywhere. So when i saw this, i wanted it straight away. the voice of reason held me back, but i saw one shop still selling it for the 2022 price, so I ordered one. Fittingly it will arrive after my birthday 
. That is is so compact is the reason I want it. I ordered it without the batteries and charger as i have plenty of those (but I took it with a free battery deal). Now if I could find a volunteer to convince me i need the cart/base... I have not ordered one of those.

Hell I’m not even sure if the saw will function without the cart.Mr Speaker said:TBH I do not really need one, but I decided I really need one. It is just so good for my purposes.

I view the cart the same way I view the UG60. It definitely helps if you're going mobile, but there's a percentage (who knows) of the market that'll buy these two compact semi-stationary tools to just put in their mini-workshops (me). It's not unheard of for people to just build their own mobile rolling worktops for these, and maybe compact support brackets for the very few times they need more cut length and take it outside.

For those interested, on the Festool USA YouTube channel- the CT SYS 50 is seen being tested by one of their US product testers on the latest “Inside Festool” episode. It’s about eight minutes into the video.
