Hold Me Closer Tiny Slider...

Can this tiny slider replace a big one. NO. But it has a lot of the same cool features so good enough for me!

[@Benmeglei1]

I never thought it was possible to be in love with a piece of kit. But here we are. I have it and I love it.

[@jeremiahnielson]

Absolutely! I keep thinking I’ll get a “real” table saw but this thing consistently surprises me. Love it!

[@anthonymason8029]

I have one and love it. Always use the safety guard or riving knife. For Gods sake no one is immune to accidents. Try to set a good example

[@mikepicar2594]

You just changed my life dude! Saving up for one of these!

[@frausdolus3340]

I see that beauty mark! Did someone try to adjust the fence while the saw was running?

[@jeremiahnielson]

Haha! It was me👎. I had the fence next to the blade trying to skim a little bit of material and the blade is so thin it vibrated and hit the fence. Stupid😐

[@EvanMcClain]

My only hesitation is that I'm not into their battery system (yet), so the lack of AC power is annoying

[@jeremiahnielson]

I hear you. I was already in a committed battery relationship before I started drinking the green koolaid. But I figured it was inevitable so I took the plunge. Now I need to find a used 18v drill.

[@bestyoutubernonegraternumber1]

I have this saw, it runs forever on the two batteries. Pair it with a KSC60 & you got 4 batteries, you will not ever need more than that at once.

[@bestyoutubernonegraternumber1]

@@jeremiahnielsonconsider the 12v for 90% of your tasks. Get the 18v only for where you need it. The csx 12 has changed my whole mind on drills. The clutch is awesome & it does like 90% of work for me, I actually have not even used my 18v since I got it. I am sure I will need to, eventually, but the csx 12 has been a workhorse for months and months now.

[@michael.knight]

Nice review, considering buying it as well. Just wondering why you don't like using the regular riving knife? I can see the blade guard getting in the way, but the normal riving knife should be ok?

[@mathewcampbell8479]

I've had mine (in Australia) for about 6 months now. The fence is super accurate. To the millimetre every time.

[@jeremiahnielson]

The fence is definitely great. It’s the cross cut sled I don’t trust. I don’t feel like mine is ruining parallel with the blade. It’s close enough on short cuts but long cross cut have been off.

[@mathewcampbell8479]

@@jeremiahnielson Interesting. I've probably not done enough long ones

[@mjscpr]

I use the same saw and have for a bit, with the benchdogs fence it's an incredible product.

[@jeremiahnielson]

I’ve seen that fence! I’m definitely going to get it.

[@ghas4151]

Just got this with a set of 4x 8.0Ah batteries. Haven’t really used it yet but I’m encouraged by what you’re saying. Also have the TS 60 track saw because of the ability to use the same blades. Was really close to getting the cordless Kapex, but went with the 120 instead. I’ll be keeping a close eye on this channel.

[@jeremiahnielson]

To be honest I kinda wish I went your route with the 4x battery and the 120. With shutting down my woodshop, I didn’t have a permanent place to set up a saw so I figured the small one would be better at this time. When I start setting up another dedicated shop, I’ll probably upgrade to the 120. Let me know how accurate your saw is once to get it going! Also Thanks for commenting on the video!

[@sander7991]

The 8.0Ah batteries are great. I have them for a 2 months now and they last a very long time. I love the saw the only thing that isn't accurate with mine is the miter gauge. I have to use a square to set it up.

[@jeremiahnielson]

[@mesut9825]

@@jeremiahnielson Actually, there is no such thing as a construction site or working in a different place, I have space for Lugano and machines of that size, the prices are almost the same as Festool, I will listen to you, I will buy a larger table saw with a full working table.

[@jeremiahnielson]

@@mesut9825 I really like my sliding table, saw by Laguna, but I can’t speak on the Fusion. I have one friend who owns one and he seems to like it.

[@ThePSMA]

I’m a DIY’er, have a few tools and my battery system is Dewalt. For some years have looked obsessively at table saws trying to find the perfect one… ah… that one is too big, too small, noisy, weak, flimsy, overpowered, a toy, where do I fit that? This Festool rings all (most) the bells. If it was corded it would be an easier decision, but I’m struggling… it’s soooo desirable

[@M346VALY]

Can anyone explain me how can you cut a board of laminate 1m long and 250mm wide at 45° with clean cut on wider side?! Has anyone thought about that, because this saw does the 45° cuts in negative side compared to all classic saws, can anyone come with an answer. Thanks

[@jeremiahnielson]

@@M346VALY Definitely one of the drawbacks of this saw. But I have made lots of clean 45°cuts on it. Just make sure you press down all the way through the cut and tape the other side if you’re afraid of blowout. If somebody could make it aftermarket throat plate for this thing that would be great.

[@jeremiahnielson]

@@M346VALY it does tilt away from the fence, but only enough to cut an angle on a scribe piece. I do most of my mitering with the track saw and then cut the piece to size on the table saw. Where there’s a will there’s a way.

[@danielrisberg2112]

Thanks for the video! Interesting to hear about the Festool works. Btw. Can you attach 3rd party miter gauge instead of the standard one?

[@jeremiahnielson]

Yes! Benchdogs makes one. I’ll probably giving it a try in the next year.

[@debandmike3380]

does it come with or offer a zero clearance plate or is that not an option even if you make your own.

[@mjscpr]

it doesn't come with one

[@jeremiahnielson]

I’m sure someone will come out with something soon!

[@dashriprock5720]

Why doesn't the Festool cut straight?

[@jeremiahnielson]

On my saw the sled doesn’t travel parallel with the blade. And the miter gauge always needs to be tweaked to get it in square. Next video in this saw will be how to dial it in:)

[@dgw07]

Great Elton John song

[@billballeza377]

Look how close that miter gauge is to the blade when crosscutting.

[@jeremiahnielson]

You can adjust it where ever you want but I like to have mine really close to the blade. 👍

[@Hog-g2z]

Hi 👋, the issue is going to be that new rules and regulations that have been enforced by the government, I believe later this year, has got have a mechanism on it called SAWSTOP , as there has been a serious amount of accidents on site saw and bench saws , I believe this is due to inappropriate use , insufficient training, using machine with no guard, not concentrating on what you are doing, Be safe , Me nearly, 50 years in my own business joinery cabinet, making workshop, with serious amount of very dangerous machinery, I.e. , surface planer, spindle, mould, re-saw, bandsaw, very large, Watkin radio armsaw , and my favourite Wadkin EKA , @ WADKIN RS8 , wood lathe,

[@zozoart]

Too bad it's not corded.

[@davewright9312]

Why would you want it corded?
