What blade does one use for that? and how think of limestone?

I have the 110v version, if the cordless wasn't $200 more (since I don't have any Festool batteries) I would've gotten that one. Although, if you have to be attached to a vacuum, what's one more long thing attached to a wall?

I think I will get an 18v carvex and probably an accessory kit
Then i will go for a HKC
That will then be it for 18v for me
VW MICK said:Now my question .I was thinking next to get the carvex
I've got a 110v barrel grip trion which is really good .i do a bit of curved work but over the last few months all I seem to use the jigsaw for is chopping offcuts down to fit in the incinerator
What do you guys think is the cordless carvex worth it ?

It's funny how this thread went. It started with this question ^^, but most people have answered the thread subject question - which is fair enough. But the questions are very different.
I answered based on the question quoted above. You didn't need to drop a load of money on a Carvex.
