Like the tool, but the price may be to choke on.

And where's the SawStop safety function? For that price I want to see the blade retract when it hits a hot dog.

Go into the world and do well. But more importantly, go into the world and do good.

I want power for that price. It is cool - but not at that price - and it looks like it might struggle with some 8/4 hard maple!Originally Posted by Mike Henderson
Sawdust is some of the best learning material!

the concept is innovative and you can't deny the results. But it takes away the portability factor of the hand saw, and the price, hmm! Besides it doesn't have the tactile quality of a hand tool that draws most of us to them.
The means by which an end is reached must exemplify the value of the end itself.

I don't like it.

Not intended as an insult,
But is it not an upside down saw with adjustable angles you push the wood thru?

At first hand appearances, I would have thought $99 or so, which makes me now wonder where they used the gold plating, since I can't see any in the photos.

Well, I just bought 5 of 'em to hand out to you guys for Xmas but since you don't seem to like it....
Bridge City and Festool are really owned by the same guy.

I could see it for small pieces as well as for cutting fret slots.

Well Jim,
Since "you must have this" ... please write a review once you get it.

Chris, like so many tools, I love the tool but not the price.
I have been looking at this to see if there may be a way to build my own.
You can PM me for a shipping address.

I kind of wondered if this might appeal to luthiers. I didn't notice the kerf thickness but wonder if it might be the same as many fret tangs. That might not be a coincidence.

I buddy of mine thought it would be good for modelers and dollhouse makers but they may not like the price!
