A seemingly fairly experienced woodworker recently made a comment to
the effect that he would never again use a table saw to cut plywood.
He got the nifty Festool saw.

Whadya'all think?

Thanx

If you are considering one, buy it, IIRC Festool has a 30 day satisfaction
guarantee.

It is not a TS replacement. It does however blow away the other circle
saws.


If making the final cut w/ it is mandatory, may be worth it. I rigged
up a poor-man's panel saw w/ the Mag 77 and simply cut sheet goods to
rough size where can be handled on the table or RAS for final cutting.

Seems a much faster/cheaper alternative to me, but to each his own and
everybody has their own objectives and methods of work...
