HOW ABOUT KICKBACK Mafell?

[@madventure2318]

I have never had kickback on a track but have whilst going freestyle. Not the saws fault and to be fair the stop system seemed to kick in instantly. I only use on a track now. 😊 have you had a bad experience?

[@Jaeger04]

@microdoulo2250 The engine cuts off if it feels the blade is beginning to bind or slow down too much.

I have the mafell mt 55 too its very powerfull, but the brand new festool ts 60 k is like most powerfull ever seen and ist brushless

[@madventure2318]

Now you've gone and done it! I am liking Festool I have to say. Gone and Googled it! Nice! But... maybe too late for me where the track saw is concerned. Just too long invested in Mafell. Can I ask, does the TS 60 use slim blades. I heard they do on the cordless.

@@madventure2318 its slimmer and Cuts half inch deeper with kickback stop.

@@exigauner The cordless Mafell also has kickback stop, in fact the festool was designed to it, I am very happy with it (and the CAS accu system for Metabo (and other) tools). Also the tracks can be used for almost al Mafell tools which is very usefull (at least as a carpenter).

@@TomsTimmervan when the wood pinches, but when you try to plunge it can still kick back, my mafell track had still a big scar😅. Festool thats not possible kzbin.info/www/bejne/mWLcmqR-pZeAbrc

@@exigauner with the 2021 cordless MT55? mine has automatic kickback prevention at least.
