VECTURO multitool and TSC 55 cordless saw photos and details

I still seem to remember that Dewalt had a line of 24 volt tools many years ago that had an optional 120 v adaptor. The line did not last a long time so perhaps the idea was not as popular as we seem to think.
I think the MultiMaster has a small DC attachment. However, most of the time, the amount of dust is very small due to the type of cuts.

The DC attachment is for sanding only, it doesn't work when cutting.
People complain here about the lack of DC on te OS 400, but personally I can imagine a lot, but I have a hard time imagining how to make an effective DC when you're cutting with a multitool. The blade sticks out and needs to be able to fully plunge into the material, and you have to accommodate for lots of different shaped blades. I don't see an easy solution.

Agree about the dust collection not being an issue for a multitool and looks like I stand corrected on the supercut blades, that looks to be the same as whats showing with this new festool product, which is good news. As far as comments on the new edge bander goes, that looks to me to be a very well thought out product, with some cool innovations.

I've thought about this today at work and wondered if I was a bit harsh in saying that people shouldn't be disappointed. However I don't see what everyone expected from the actual core tool that isn't there. If Festool had made the body I would 110% not buy it as a new release as I don't have faith in their new releases. This tool doesn't have a purely rotary action so there is a key internal component that is thrashing itself to death every time you turn it on. I'd rather trust Fein's premier tool that is tried and tested for the mechanicals and not worry about the fact that Festool have rebadged it.
I think everyone will have to see the accessories in action to see if Festool have been innovative or not. I'm not sure what the Supercut market is and who buys them and why they do considering the premium price compared to the Multimaster. I have been told that the Supercut is better built than the Multimaster and outperforms it but it is a big premium and I'm happy with my Multimaster.

I see one HUGE downside to the TSC55 - If I get one I will then have 2 Festool batteries and at least one charger. This will likely lead to me having to finally buy into the Festool Drill system as well and getting more cool tools in systainers.
Seems like a communist plot to me?!

That seems to be the common view, and while I can't dispute it (never having used a SC), it would be very impressive, as the MM feels like a million bucks.

I'm not sure whether Festool is addictive because everything is so good or whether the people that rave about Festool have addictive personalities.
I can hold back on most of the tools but I need some serious therapy re systainers. Everything has to live in the same little boxes and when I'm on site I come out in a cold sweat if I have too much gear around that isn't systainerable. I even know the height to the nearest mm of my whole systainer/sortainer stack. I don't get out much!
Fein has some very high quality products and the Supercut is one of them. Also, someone in the Festool family is married to someone in the Fein family, so there sould be a reasonably cooperative atmosphere surrounding this venture. It seems to me that Festool has greatly outstripped Fein in the marketing and now name recognition side of the business. Perhaps Alex or some of our other European members can comment on the relative positioning of these companies in Europe, which has to be the biggest market presently for both companies. It may be something as simple as rebadging, with a few enhancements, to take advantage of the seemingly emerging dominance of the Festool brand to enhance sales of a tool that heretofore has mostly been lost in the shadows of its little brother. Given that little brother is competing with all manner of offerings these days, selling more of the Supercut, under any badge, is probably a great move on Fein's part, and it hurts Festool in no way to add this tool to its reportoir(sp?).
As far as innovation is concerned I am not sure what, save DC, can be added that is not already available from the Fein offerrings. Most anyone willing to buy this tool should be astute enough to understand its origins and therefore what is available from Fein. So it's my guess this is a joint effort to raise the bar on the oscillating tool business and make folks aware there is a superior product to be had for those willing to pony up.
I also agree with Alex that the tool, used as a saw, has too many variables for slam-dunk DC. One of its many uses is as a caulk removing tool and DC will not help there either. Maybe there are other innovations to be had but I, for one, haven't thought of them.
It just occurred to me that Festoool could borrow some ideas from the "MultiMaster Dust Collection" thread fro those amongst us bemoaning the lack of DC. ;D

I actually had the figure in my head only very recently, unfortunately the ravages of age and the fact that I have been round the bowl more than twice since then have reduced that accuracy. It's about 4.2m at the moment.

You beat me I'm at around 3.5m I reckon. I only thought about it the other day when I saw someone on here showing off their stack. I thought I'm sure mines taller so had to sit down and add it all up lol
