Do you have the corded TS60 also? I'm debating between the Milwaukee and the TS60. I know they're different between batteries and corded, just don't know how much more powerful and cut quality on the festool.
Honestly the M18's not quite as light as I thought it'd be - it's actually heavier as a bare tool. It's really only lighter with the CP 3.0 HO battery (which it will run on) - with a 6.0 HO it's about the same weight as the Makita with 2x 5AH batteries.
Any info on how these run with Forges? I was lucky enough to score 2x 6ah Forges for $150 total (discount + won a home Depot raffle and got a second free). I've yet to try them, though I wonder how much or forge is just hype.
XGT is superior product
3/4 ply is nothing, 2" of hardwood on the other hand….
I'd believe him, considering most reviews have the Milwaukee performing underpowered compared to makita/festool

Yeah sure I agree, however I was responding to the guy talking about the saw bogging down and having to make 3 passes on 4x8 sheets. Seriously doubt he's referring to 4x8 sheets of 2" hardwood.
Actually you quoted the guy talking about 8/4 lumber, which is around 2". Quarter measurements is how lumber yards list their stock.

It's nice to rough out sheet goods, but you can't beat a tablesaw for accuracy.
On a table saw (all but the biggest/best/most expensive), finish-grade 30"+ wide cuts off a full 3/4" 4x8ft sheet of plywood can be sketchy if not impossible, especially without someone to help. Takes a lot of surrounding space to move around for that cut on a table saw, too.
Laser straight deck board ends (bevel for fancy factor), trimming doors, etc. - track saws have a lot of real-world use cases.
Good reasons to have both 😉

I agree with having both. The tablesaw should be a sawstop.
In this deal, yes
This is one of the better deals for this saw if you need the track too (just don't hack/return the track). You do still have to buy the battery/charger if you don't ha e any Milwaukee tools. Also, apparently the different Milwaukee batteries have wildly different amp/current rates so the smaller /older batteries don't work too well on this saw. 5.0xc sort of a minimum for plywood, and you really need the 6+ high output batteries for great performance.

Tried new blades. Milwaukee brand and CMT. Both garner similar results. We rip slabs, typically in the 1.75"-2" thickness range. Beginning to wonder if it's the batteries. Would the newer red lithium ones help?
