would have to get my husband to get some of the details about it.


If they were such a "wonderful idea", someone would probably still me
making them.

Somebody is.

Actually, its seems like a pretty good product for Festool to get

All in ones are a PIA.


All in ones invariably find you needing the other setup without
changing this one, to 'fix' something.


And it's impossible to get the thing set up for the first operation
exactly the same way. I worked for a guy that had one. He was always
running up against this problem. OTOH, he lived in a trailer and
there wasn't a lot of extra room. He'd never own one, if he had any
other option.
