Dear Festool,
Good work on this new jigsaw and for this new video format. It is a MUCH better way to describe the salient features of your tools than those annoying music videos.
But please do not say this is “There’s no other jigsaw in the world like carvex.”
Mafell jigsaws have all the features of this (except the strobe light) and come with all the accessories. Since Mafell was offering their superior guide-less system years ago, It’s obvious Festool merely copied Mafell.
You can buy it already
Fair enough. Send me a free one and I’ll road test.
F’n Festool. They keep vacuuming money out of my wallet.If you’re gonna do it, do it all the way with Festool.
Agreed. Mafell. jig saw, simply the best. My carved sits on the shelf. It will not cut a vertical cut.
No other jigsaw except the Mafell p1cc., which is more powerful, precise and better engineered.
Although I like that light!
worst ergonomically jigsaw on the planet it felt horrible in your hand and cheaply made
Another vote for the mafell P1CC everything else is just a toy
But is the Mafell P1cc better?
James, yes, the cordless model will share the same brushless motor technology with the same power and capabilities. Thanks!
I have never had this happen to me after buying festool, I was used to having the opposite feeling after trying the tools out. I hate to say this because I usually rave about festool and always recommend festool to the guys I work with. A few of them tried my sanders,track saw, domino, etc. and have purchased their own. The base that allows for beveled cuts is a good idea but simply does not work for scribing to a uneven surface.
Im in Ireland. It may be worth your while sending me one, then I could a perspective from the Irish owner. No? Ah well, worth a try.
Totally agree with butterfly base. Seems like a (not completely) useless attachment. I agree, bevel shoe should be the standard. Especially bevel base offers common angle stops.
I would love to do a review on this new jigsaw. I want to build dog beds with bone shaped cut-outs. Hubby said I needed a jigsaw to add to my tool collection (mainly drills, sander,etc). Feel free to contact me if interested on ease of use. I was featured in “This Old House” magazine for a chair I made from pallets. breakfast-with-tiffany
Kevin,
I am a carpenter and have used the bosch for years also. I recently bought the carvex to replace my bosch.
Where can I buy your products in Israel?
Can’t wait for this one ,
I’ve found great handbook on woodprix website. Good solutions for everyone I think
Thanks!
How much does it cost ??
I quit watching porn now that I’m watching Festool videos…
In order to cut with the blade angled in to the finished piece of trim you are forced to ride on the waist side of the cut. This is awkward and not accurate as the waist can be and usually is not wide enough to support the saw. This is the opposite using the track saw for instance. I think that a base similar to the bevel base now should be offered but instead of a butterfly design… the micro adjust knob should simply tilt the whole base and not hinge in the middle.
That is funny!
The blade synchronized light and changeable base system is pretty brilliant. My only problem is my Trion still runs like a bull even though I have worked it really hard. The dust collection is really good on the Trion with the blade cowl in place, but it restricts the vision of the cut line. Strobe light. Problem solved. I also do a lot of metal work and my base is pretty chewed up so I end up having to make temp skins with laminate to protect work pieces. Quick change bases are money. Congrats
BUT.
My one complaint is that to do this type of cut I set the bevel to a angle and cut towards the piece of wood I’m saving. This gives a clean, tight joint. I originally made the switch from my bosch jigsaw to the festool because I was under the impression that it would do this type of work better. I have picked up many festool products. I rely on them everyday. I was very excited to try the saw on a scribe cut but when trying to use it for this I was simply let down.
Very nice choice. You will never regret it.
Awesome light idea! Cordless version SAME power??
Dont need…want pretty bad though.
That is one sexy piece of machinery.
