I started as a woodworking professional five years ago. I had always seen the Festool saws and thought they were very high quality, but also thought they were too expensive. Once I realized that the plunge cut saws combined with the guide rail system eliminated the need for both a radial arm saw and a panel saw I was convinced to buy. I spent less than what a good radial arm saw would have cost and saved the entire cost of a panel saw. The system cost less money, takes much up less space, is more versatile cutting any angle, has higher quality cuts with no chip out, and as a bonus it is very portable. That is how Festool helps me work smarter every day!Seth W., Connecticut
