IIRC, the Festool has a strobe light. That's a different and useful

I have often wondered why a strobe and how that would be useful. Do you
know or have a clue? I do know that the latest strobe light Festool
jig saw was delayed for sale in the US, IIRC it had something to do with
the strobe making the blade appear to be not moving up and down.

Check and see if it stop motions the teeth, would it make possible to
see a broken tooth? Those Germans tend to engineer thing out to
infinity.


Yes, the saw stop motions the blade.


BUT you can see a broken tooth with the saw turned off.

Only if it's above the table. ;-)
