No unfortunately I have not purchased the saw but have done the next best
thing, fondled one.


Feel the love, fellas?? Leon's toast.


What I like.

1. *Compared to other miter saws, it is quiet.
2. *Relatively light weight, 47 lbs.
3. *Bevel angle is not a crap shoot, there is a twist handle that allows you
fine tune the bevel angle accurately and it has a Large bevel scale.
4. *It includes a angle finder tool that measures an angle and then allows
you to set the miter angle of the saw with out having to read angle numbers
or do any math.
5. *Dust collection is great when used with a vac. *You can use it inside a
customer house.
6. *Depth of cut control.
7. *Requires less space to operate than most slider miter saws. *You can
place the back of the saw against a wall and leave it there.
8. *On board tool and cord storage.
9. *Electronic Variable Speed for various material types and to maintain
speed when cutting tough or thick materials.

Plus all the other things you would expect, laser, arbor lock, clamps, etc.


....jussssst a matter of time.... he's 95% there...looking for a gig/
excuse that would NEED that Festool saw.....
