MONEY WELL SPENT
After months and months of looking around and asking people for advice I finally decided to go for the Mafell. I looked into the Festool/Dewalt/Makita, but this stood out 100%. After using it on site as many times as I could this has to be the best tool ever purchased. The guide rails square up on their own, the scribe feature works really really well, the plunge is smooth and motor is powerful enough that have not had a kick back (touch wood). The main fact this is a complete kit is amazing, I purchased a 800mm rail too just so I don't have to disconnect the 1600mm rails to do small cuts. With the rails being 1600mm its perfect for bedroom fittings as my material comes in 2800 and these rails give enough overhand to do it with out having to move the guide rails.
I would say there is a huge difference with the rubber on the bottom of the tracks with the Mafell's being less the 10mm wide and the other brands being like over 20mm but I have had no issues so far as this is a complete kit and you can just use the clamps on more smooth materials.

Better than the Festool ....
...... Not that I have anything against the TS55, apart from the fact that it's disastrously underpowered. I tolerated mine for over three years, with it constantly shutting down every time I tried to cut anything thicker than 25mm softwood. It gives a beautiful cut on the right material, but I fit a lot of kitchens with hardwood worktops, and the TS55 simply isn't up to this most basic of joinery jobs. The Mafell's really in a different league. The combination of way more power and a thinner kerf on the blade (1.8mm as opposed to 2.2mm on the TS55) means that one-pass cutting of 50mm worktops is now the norm for me. It has many other features which other reviewers have explained, so please read those or watch some YouTube videos. Their rail system is also light years ahead of Festool's - and an 800mm rail is available for smaller cuts where the longer one is a bit too cumbersome. If you've already got Festool rails though - it works on those as well. I can't recommend it highly enough.

Brilliant tool!
It's the single best saw i've ever brought. I've had this tool for 3 weeks and have put it through its paces. i've done a curved cabinet from marine ply and had to put 128 slices in the back of the board to allow it to bend and i set my depth and went at her. it didn't even break a sweat, i broke before it did. I did the cuts at 16mm deep in marine ply. it didn't have any tear out at all! i mean none! not a stitch out of place, and in ply too!
i've cut perspex multi panel with it too, it performed fantastically! i'm so glad i brought this tool and keep finding ways to use it.
pop a board underneath your work and chop in to it and the dust extraction is very very good. You get what you pay for with this tool. the only thing i would add to it is a smaller rail for the tight spaces. no more taping and clamping a straight edge its and just flop on the sticky rails and off you go. you can clamp from underneath on the rails too.
thought i'd miss the top handle but i kind don't at all. it's really ergonomic, my other hand just steadies the rail ( not that it needs it ) and off it glides.
Brilliant tool! and best of the lot. will buy more maffell products for sure!

Does this come with a Systainer?
Asked by: Zeevro
Extraction system comparable with Festool
Hi, I have a festool mini extraction system. Will the Mafell work off the vacuum? How do you modify?
Asked by: RonRainbow
Does this plunge saw kit come with a carry bag for the rails and a carry case for the saw
Asked by: LesI
According to the UK distributor, NMA Tools, the version supplied to Screwfix does include a rail bag and a carry case for the saw. Case is the older style Systainer though, not the newer 't-loc' style.
