I am looking to cut a 20-inch wide, almost 3-inch thick, 8-foot long slab of walnut in half (10 inches wide).

Last time I tried to cut a similar 2-inch thick slab down the middle, it deflected my blade and therefore cut into the aluminum track in several places, even when putting a wedge in it.

I am sure the idea here is to cut it on one side, flip it, and try to cut it on the back, but I do not want to cut into my track again and am wondering what I can do to avoid this.

Last time when I did this on the 2-inch thick slab, I used the stock Festool blade. I just ordered the rip-cut blade, but will this really make all the difference, especially if I have to make two passes (top, flip, and bottom)?

Has anyone used the Festool HKC 55 and track to cut stair stringers. I am looking at this saw to make cutting stringers a little easier and more accurate and was wondering if it was worthwhile. I cut a lot of stringers for decks and it get quite time consuming and looking for a faster way.

Hey all, I've got an RAS115 that I am considering selling as I just heard from my rep that they are fetching a ridiculous amount on ebay. Trouble is I can't even find a comp on eBay so i have no idea what to list it for. Mine is in decent shape but definitely used. What the hell should I list it for?

yo i just noticed that my saw blade is not perfectly orthogonal to the bottom of my saw.

I am really p****** as I already had such things with other tools not from festool though. a planer where the factory blades were trash and so forth.**

my festool as well as my bosch dive saw have this Problem. not my mafell k85ec thought its perfectly orthogonal. What p**** me off the most though is that in the manual there is written that it can be adjusted and you should contact the customer Support. Bosch Manages to describe the process but festool refers u to Customer Service. what did u smoke.

nvm so how do i adjust this? anybody knows?

For the second year running the Festool Advent Calendar is largely merch stock clearance wrapped in a box, retailing at about $200 or 178 euros. I'm very much the target consumer for this type of nonsense but they refuse to make even a half decent one.
