Hi All,

I have a few questions about the Festool circular saws.

First, what is the difference between the ATF 55 E, AT65 E and the new ATF 55 E Plus, AT 65 E Plus?

If I get one of the last old models, will I be sorry wishing that I had gotten the "new" model?

Second, is the extra 5 lbs in weight of the AT65 E worth the added cut depth? Is the lighter ATF55 E a better deal due to the lighter weight?

Third, if I order one, are there some accessories that should be ordered along with the saw? I have a Festool sander and dust extractor so I am ready for the dust collection.

I plan to use this saw in my home shop to handle panel cutting duties and to suppliment my table saw and Milwaukee circular saw.

Thanks for the help.

Greg
