VECTURO multitool and TSC 55 cordless saw photos and details

[neeleman]

Yes we do. The specs are mentioned in the pdf files of the Vecturo.

Specs of the Vecturo:
- power 400 W
- oscilating movement 11,000-18,500 min-1.
- amplitude 2 degrees
- weight 1.55 kg
- powercord 4 m.
First two values are the same as the SuperCut.
Fein has amplitude of 4 degrees, weighs 1.45 kg and cord is 5 m.

Fein has amplitude of 4 degrees, weighs 1.45 kg and cord is 5 m.

Fein has amplitude of 2 x 2 degrees, so it is possible it is the same as the Festool but listed differently in the technical specifications.

What's the amplitude on the Multimaster?
Because 2 degrees sounds crap to me, unless the Multimaster is 2degrees then must be okay

Can't find spec on main site.

It's not a festool innovation, that's clear, but is there any improvement what so ever?

"The SuperCut and the new generation of MultiMaster are built upon FEIN's 40 years spent perfecting oscillating multi-tool technology. These tools sand, cut, file and polish by oscillating back and forth hundreds of times a second at a very small amplitude (1.6° for the MultiMaster and 2.0° for the SuperCut)."

I believe the SuperCut Automotive has the 1.6° amplitude also. The SuperCut Construction has the 2.0°.

same machine, different package, that's all

I stand corrected on the output then, it matches the supercut. Still need more details on what exactly differs between the two beyond the plugit cable. I certainly can't imagine it being cheaper than the supercut, which is already, not cheap.

Oh and proprietary blades..

Oh and proprietary blades.. 

I THINK these might be the same geometry as the Supercut blades. Which, actually might be a good thing. I used to own a Supercut (got stolen), and my memory from the time was that the Supercut blades were a little bit less expensive than the Multimaster blades, though that may be because I was buying them in 10x or 20x packs......

I REALLY liked my Supercut!! When it was stolen I replaced it with a Multimaster, every time I use it I wish I had bought another Supercut.

The attachment we've been calling a depth stop, is it possible this also has a dust extracting function?

Curious what this will cost. The Fein Super Cut runs $800-$1000.....

 

[GhostFist]

I only own a multimaster but I believe the blades are the same.  Not personally in the market for a new multi tool but this is probably 2 years from hitting na. Be interesting to see more details none the less.

 

[Tom the Remodeler]

Agreed! Long time before we see this particular tool. If it does turn out to be a Fein clone, I'd probably be inclined to get the Supercut anyways, a tried and tested machine with a long track record.

 

[GhostFist]

I will say that plunge base does look nice we just have to wait and see.

Most on-line today (at this time), 940. Most on-line ever, 960. I wonder what was so special about today!?  [big grin] [big grin]

And no response to a battery powered TrackSaw, interesting, given the number of times this has come up in the thread, I Wish Festool Made . . . ,.  ?  [unsure]

 

[stvrowe]

I am quite curious about what would make the Vecturo better than the Fein offerings.  Fein has been the defacto standard in the multi-tool market for quite some time and while Festool makes outstanding tools, I doubt they could unseat Fein as the leader in this category.

On the cordless track saw, I just don't get this one.  Cordless by itself seems somewhat counterproductive since one of the major benefits of Festool is the dust collection and to get this, you have to hook a hose with a dust extractor to the saw.  If this was a hoseless cordless saw with great dust collection, that would be something to get excited about.

 

[GhostFist]

I'd say there certainly are instances where a cordless accurate tracksaw would be a benefit to some, but it all comes down to performance and how long the batteries last. What's good is that this saw seems to use standard festool batteries,  it does look a little bulky though.

C'mon what about all those times you need to hop up a ladder with your track and saw and don't want to bother with the cord!

Just kidding of course, and I'm sure many can think of strange ways they have used their track saws where a quick cut could be convenient. Isn't that a dust bag attached to the TS in the picture?

 

[Administrator_JSVN]

The dust extraction on the TSC 55 is exceptional with the bag. It will run off one or two batteries. The cut speed is at least as fast as the corded model, if not more so. Also, very good run time.

I own a Fein have for many years .  

I was just asking because I know what amplitude was just never knew what the spec was of it .

So when neelemen said that supercut at 4 and festool had 2 I was shocked because I know the Fein is perfect at cutting so if festool decided to reduce the amplitude I was thinking it was likely going to be crap

I have used many other brands and many reasons they are not as good as a Fein is because of the mplitude. I'm sure.  

When I have used other brands I always said its like the cutting strokes are not long enough etc.

Hence why I wanted to know what the multimaster was because that's the one I own and it cuts perfectly fine .

You can see the two batteries in the picture - presumably both 18 v ?

How does the dust bag work? Is it paper and gets thrown away or cloth and gets emptied?

I have had countless experiences where I've needed to do just one cut up on a roof or in an attic and the freedom that this might offer looks pretty good.
