• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

Festool have a single-battery tracksaw coming out soon, the TSC 55 KS. There are a couple of improvements on that model that may be applicable to other models if they make spare parts available. The notable one for me is the locking dust port. If you have a Festool saw, you know that the elbow on the dust port rotates so that you can control the angle the hose joins the saw. With the new saw the dust port elbow can be locked in one position so that the hose will definitely stay in that orientation as you move the saw.

 
I've never found the swivelling dust port to be a problem, TBH, but I do like the idea of the saw being no wider than the track. When I'm using my MFT, the body of the TS55 fouls the tall pegs.
I went round the Festool factory in Germany once. It was very impressive the way they worked and the attention to detail.
