Fanning the green flame! LOL I'm not a contractor, but I could see where someone might find this pretty cool.

The cordless TS55 is pretty cool, but this other cordless Festool is even sweeter. Not sure when it will hit the US though.

Apologies for the music.
It is very interesting to me that they're getting that kind of performance out of an 18V battery. When I first say the saw in the video I sort of expected they were doing a 40V, but the specifications page show a 15V and 18V option. They must have an awesome motor in that thing.
I have Ryobi 18V 4000-mAh batteries and a small Ryobi 18V saw and would never be able to cut through three sheets of OSB like that I don't think.
That thing is neat!
Essentially a cordless version of the Mafell KSS 400. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TCOE3IbBAc
Phil I think they are using two batteries.
I have a 2000W Honda generator that is a lot less expensive, and it will run real tools!
Mine chokes when trying to start 15A tools. It can't take the startup current. I have the same experience trying to run the air conditioner in my travel trailer. It is quiet but I wish there were an intermediate size between that one and the 3500W unit.
ditto. I have a 6000k generator that will power a 3hp bandsaw in a blizzard of required, it's portable, all in still cheaper. I like the portable skill saw, I have an 18v hilti that cuts through anything, great for cuts in the air, demoing scraps on job sites, sheathing on the roof. I can see the green track saw suiting certain situations, probably makes more sense if you are already into a festool tracks saw.

Brushless DC motors are very cool. I sure hope they start coming down in price. Also,they're probably using a fairly low speed motor, or low-speed gearing, for higher torque. He's not exactly flying through that cut.
- And they don't say how LONG the batteries last. 18v, but how many amps is it pulling?
Still a great tool, for certain applications.
Sorry, I just watched it again and saw OSB this time. The video I saw before was a different video. It showed a pile of sheets a foot or more high that was not OSB. I must have got diverted and watched a video further down in the series.
