How about Bosch-Mafell?
mi gran duda como compro esto en España?????????
is there going to be a metric version of this by any chance?
After adding all the accessories to these festool tools it'll be cheaper to buy a table saw
Can't use that on bigger material though. Unless you spend a fortune on a really big sliding table saw plus you need the space for it.
@@saiiiiiii1 I agree totally, I have a small workshop, no way I would get a table saw into it, festool guide rails and saws with the added parallel guide are brilliant and make it easier to cut sheet material than any big table saw. if you think about it, you have the sheet on your bench so your not man handling a sheet onto a table saw so it is easier to cut, I do it all the time and love it, takes me no time at all to rip and cut square precise panels, someone mentioned by the time you add on to your festool you could buy a panel saw, I would say I think your nuts if you believe that, if you buy a cheap panel saw then your already over the price anyway, I think your dreaming too much and you need to wake up and smell the coffee lol.
How to make a simple measure and cut into something expensive and complicated. PLEASE!! I love simplicity this is not...
Wo kann ich das system kaufen in Deutschland?
Do these exist in metric ? Thanx in advance
Yes

It’s more expensive than the Festool plunge saw. You should overthink your pricing.
Look at my "Parallel Guided Power Saw" and do your comment
Over $120 for a fucking t square hahahahahaha and $500 for a pillar drill table, that's more than i.paid for the goddam drill !!
I have seen this company's product in a great woodworking store. I always ran from the prices. I don't get it. I love the look of the craftsmanship. I don't see the productivity. This company seems like a place that doesn't think things through and has no idea how the real world works. I really like the look, but I can't get inside the designer's mind and agree "that's a good idea". I think this company must be marketed towards garage tool addicts. Weird. I'll admit some ideas give me ideas, and maybe I'll come across something I like and makes sense to buy, but I think I'll probably just take whatever ideas they have and make my own.
If you have to make accurate parallel cuts over and over then it is worth it even at $400. A table saw can cost thousands.
Works good for job site construction, probably not something a DIY would need at this price point.
How interesting. The Festool is metric and this is made in Imperial. Why would you do that and constrain your sales to just 5% of the worlds markets using Imperial. Where is the metric equivalent?
5%?
America is the worlds biggest economy. It out sells France, UK and Germany combined. For a company like that to sell in the EU would have pass about thousand different regulations (I am not exaggerating).
Why go to all that extra cost when there is massive market already there with nowhere near as many regulations.
At first, I thought it was a joke, but then I realized it wasn’t. $480.00 for it? It’s more than many table saws cost. I’m sorry, I’d love to have it, but not at this price.
Do you need the Systainer for it? Mine hasn't been in the Systainer since I got it in my shop. $400 without Systainer.
My Mother always told me......"If you don't have anything nice too say, then say nothing........but screw it.....LOL!
The Woodpecker set in a systainer is more expensive then the Festool version.
The Seneca Woodworking version is better then the Festool AND Woodpecker version of parallel guides ! Guys, Google Seneca Woodworking you'll see what I mean.
And the Seneca version is A LOT cheaper then the Festool and the Woodpecker version.
I think Festool and now Woodpecker has missed the mark on parallel guides for the track saw systems. That's just my opinion.
I was honestly hoping to watch this view to find a product worth buying. I am currently using the Festool parallel guides which can be a pain in the butt to use some times. But this one time tool does not peak my interest. Maybe next time guys......maybe next time. BUT who knows?! Maybe in 8 - 10 months when this
"One time tool" returns, I might reconsider........

I was gonna email you to see what you thought about this one. Now I don't have to! Lol!
It seems ok (sorta) to me but the narrow ripping looks weird and cumbersome. Almost like it won't work. I agree, the Festool parallel guides can be a pain in the but but this kinda seems silly in comparison. I still think narrow ripping the way Festool has it set up is better. Not sold on this one either? Eric do you have the Seneca version?
Jeremiah Schwenger No Jeremiah I don't have the Seneca version. I have the Festool version. After using the Festool PG's for the past couple years I've accepted them for what they are. I've been thinking about picking up the Seneca PG's. If the Festool PG's aggravate me in the future, the next PG's I buy will be the Seneca PG's.
From the beginning of this Woodpecker video the first thing I did not like was the fact that the Woodpecker PG's needed to be support with scrap pieces....just look at the 0:02 mark of the video, they have small pieces of what looks like 18mm (3/4") plywood for support of the PG's. For me, that's not good. And yes, like you, I do not like the narrow rip guide feature of Woodpeckers version.
The only thing I like about Woodpeckers version is the flip stops......that's it. LOL !
Eric
MrBigerock OH yeah! Jeremiah.....the other thing that I DON'T like about Woodpeckers version is the philips head screw for mounting to the guide rail.....why not a thumb screw???? Looks like a thumb screw would still clear the body of the TS saw on the rail while a cut is being made. At least with the Festool PG's not extra tools are required for assembly.
Eric
MrBigerock The scrap piece is only required for rips that are less wide than the guide rail bracket, otherwise it appears it simply lies on the surface. The only system that doesn't have to be supported with scrap pieces that way is the Festool Parallel Guides. That said, the Festool guides require you to attach spare keys to support them! Pricewise, other third party solutions don't include the cost of t-tracks... and NONE fit in a systainer.
+MrBigerock the seneca system looks really good and the price is great but sadly there is no metric version available. do you have any information of a metric system of similar quality ?
