@onocoffee; do you use the planer stationary? Because the D36 hose in that Y hose is very short..
What Festool Did You buy Today?

Interesting. I do have the same blades but never used it in the recipro. Just used it manual. Way less dust. It cuts insanely fast, including whole rolls of glasswoll in their wrapper.Several weeks ago I purchased a Festool SR 400/5 blade to cut mineral wool insulation. The original idea was to modify the blade tang to fit in the jigsaw but after using it in the Sawzall I just didn't have the heart.It just worked too well in the Sawall. It cuts the mineral wool like butter, very smooth & with absolutely no tear-out. I was previously using several Hyde insulation knives which work well for fiberglass but not for mineral wool.
Several days ago I received the Festool DSB 350/W blade to use in the jigsaw but for right now I'm using it in a Blue Spruce jigsaw blade handle instead. Again, this cleanly slices the mineral wool with no drama or concern. I'll switch it to the jigsaw when I need to.

I use the stop block method all the time for cutting multiples at the same length. Here's some photos of mahogany blocks that will be used outside.
1. Both clamps are in use with a gauge block installed between the mahogany and the stop block.
2. Remove the gauge block
3. Make the cut
4. Rinse & repeat 8 times and this is the result. All mahogany blocks were within .005" of each other.

Unfortunately the Kapex 60 is not designed to work with the best-in-class hold down clamp. I consider it a let-down for the Kapex 60 owners and a backward move on the part of the Festool designers.
The other thing on the Kapex 60 that is a downgrade from its big bro is the bevel adjustment system.
