I *saw* that. But I didn't really pay that much attention to the "stop".
I always set my depth of cut to accommodate the material anyway.
You will love the ease of setting 'depth of cut' ... a piece of cake
after years of struggling with setting 'depth of cut' with the usual
circular saw.
Even though the scale increments are in millimeters, don't even pay
attention to that ... simply put the saw and guide overhanging slightly
the edge of the piece on a table/bench top, plunge the saw down to the
table surface, set the the depth stop with the other hand, release and
add 1 mm to the scale ... you will therefore cut a slight, 1mm groove
into your "throw-away" table/bench top, in less time than it takes to tell.
Now I'm beginning to think "beyond" the saw.
I retired as Fire Chief when I was 54. I started a business doing
insurance inspections and recently turned it over to my son.
But when I get the urge to splurge I do a few of those inspections.
The CFO here lets me spend that money any way I want.
I can see it now................inspect, buy a Festool vac. Inspect, buy
a Festool tool.
Damn!! What have I gotten into...............
LOL ... it is a slippery slope, but one you love sliding down. Leon and
I met an older retired guy at Rockler one day who professed to having
one of every Festool tool made, and probably every accessory to go with
each tool.
That's what I like about Festool ... full of products that you can use
to scratch a couple of itches: tool collector who simple appreciates
well engineered tools, or making a living with a tool that allows you to
do the best work you can, in the shop, or on the job site.
Stop it, ya bloody PUSHER! scritch, scritch, scritch
