I'd love to know how you get on with that saw

I think it's a good product. My gripe with it was that I thought it would be a GREAT product with the Festool name on it. I wouldn't get rid of it as it's my go-to cutter when I am working with Marble or large format tiles and I don't want to be going outside for every cut. As I've said...

It's OK but not as good as I was hoping it would be. Don't bother with the stock blade. I've had best results with the Accumax blade. I mainly use it for jobs where I want to do all cuts inside. Dust extraction is fairly good - I'd say 90% of the dust is extracted. One thing I would...

I think the filter will last for years if you take care of it. You'll see the dust build up on it very quickly at which point I run the hoover nozzle over it. Every now and then I'll remove the filter altogether and hoover the back of it too. I've had my filter for 2 years and it looks the...

The filtered air goes straight out of the back of the unit Marc via two 45 degree vents. It doesn't need to go outside of the room as the filter media will have collected all of the dust. It has a G4 filter so this is 90% efficient at collecting anything 5 microns and above. At 1 micron it's...

I have to admit, I do look quite the catch with them on!

It's a Microclene MC760. It filters 760 cubic metres per hour. A bit noisy, but customers are always surprised by how little dust there is when I renovate a bathroom so it's paid for itself over and over again.

Over the last week I've been using the Festool cutter and I'm actually quite pleased with it. The job is in a bedroom which is furthest from the drive and I'm cutting 15mm marble. It's been a lot easier this week to cut the tiles in doors. In terms of cut I would say it's not quite as good as...

I didn't put the new disc in today. I can't help but feel as bit disappointed with Festool on this one. Yes, the dust extraction is good but otherwise it is still just an angle grinder at the end of the day. My last post said that the cutting was off 3mm but realize now that it was because...

Tried my cutter out today. If anyone else buys one the best thing to do is open the box, take the Festool supplied blade out and then throw it in the bin....it's terrible! It gave the same cutting results as Chalker's. I then tried an old Pro Gres 115mm blade I had. Much better cut which was...

Mine arrived today too. Will be testing it on Friday. Little bit worried now having read Chalker's results

No, I went with the one I linked to. I've got the Bosch gct 115 which has the extractor hood and it's "ok." I like this one for 2 reasons, first being depth of cut guide rail attachment and second being the whole of the wheel is enclosed so dust extraction should be excellent. They are both...
