Would you please show the air assist when you get it. I have to have mine in the basement. No way to vent outdoors. Thanks.

Thanks for sharing. This is wonderful information. I am considering getting the S1 but was leaning more towards the 40W because I want to cut thicker wood. I keep seeing what the lasers will do in one pass. Will they cut thicker materials in more passes? Would the 20W cut up to 3/4" if it made more passes?

Great, straightforward review. Thank you.

Thanks for the video. I have the bench dog fence mounted on the track tubes quad mft top, and don’t have to remove it, because you can just lay the whole top aside when you need to move it out of the way. I’m working in a small garage shop so I have to tear down every day. I left the under track extension off. Couldn’t really see what it does for me. I did have to calibrate the fence location first time, because of that, but I was afraid of hitting the under rail piece with the blade otherwise. I did not buy the right side extension, but maybe I should’ve.

Question with this setup. Say you need to cross cut a 2.5” or a 3.5” piece. How is that possible when the guide rail/track is wider than the cut?? Meaning you can’t use the fence or a stop to make a repeatable cut.

The main purpose of the right-hand side support fence is to allow thinner strips to be cut and supported on the opposite side of the guide rail’s cut line. That’s why it comes with a flag stop.

User error on the larger IGaging square. Lol I too have basically the same squares and they’re all basically Woodpecker square….

Something tells me he’s Canadian.

Thanks for the great overview. I’d be really interested in a video detailing when you use MFT vs Sawstop jobsite and why. I am setting up a shop and considering omitting a table saw altogether.

Great video and great instructions. I will now be buying this version. How you like yours so far

Hey man, I'm looking at one of these but I can't find out the height constraints on the engraving area, and if it'd work just... without the tray if needed. Nice review, good to know about the SD card!

Just picked up the "new 1010" with the light attachment. So far really great, I too will be getting the LR 32 system. Festool is like the Apple of the tool world, everything works together.

Just received my kit yesterday. Just making sure i know as much as I can about every tool I own. Now on to your bushing guide video.

Things a piece of shit. My dewalt xr didn't even last a year. It cuts power constantly, to the point that you can't get a cut through something as small as ½" emt conduit with a bi metal blade without it cutting out under minimal load without having to restart a dozen times. My deawlt circ saw is starting to do the same thing now too. It's not the battery either... they work fine in other tools. As well, it no longer will lock in the bevel detents It's never been dropped. Overpriced garbage. No more dewalt for me. I'll buy bauer, unless herculese comes out with a brushless one... at least you get a 5 year in store return on their brushless tools. Dewalt returns are an exercise in futility. Dewalt used to make reliable tools... now they are like the Kia of cordless tools.. all flash, zero reliability. Fuck dewalt.

Two great saws . The problem with the Makita is, do not get a piece of wood jambed in it. It will strip the gears out of it. The Bosch is belt drive and will slip. Thank You

Awesome video man, very helpful. Thanks!!

Awesome content! Thank you!

I ordered the layout square set - the larger 12 inch square was off by over 1/8 of an inch. Totally unbelievable after paying 135 CAD for the set. Treid calling dealing with thier customer service but they spoke very poor English/Chinese (God bless America I guess). I wouldn't recomend this product or company

This is an excellent educational video. Thank you!

Nice video. I plan on building my own table. I've been overwhelmed and intimidated by how many options there are for accessories, nice to see some in action. I'll get these for sure. Thanks.

I just bought the Bosch yesterday, and I think I might return it, especially if I can find a Makita for the same price like you did. The deflection is inexcusable. And also, you said it : the handle is big beyond comparison! It really makes for a cumbersome use that sorta makes you want to reassure your hand just before hitting the stock to cut.

I have a Makita sliding compound 10". Lately I have used the Bosch (same model as in this video) quite a bit. It's a problem getting the sawblade square to the fence.

Love this little saw, hate the price tho.

There is a setting in the software to change how long the exhaust fan runs after you finish processing.

great reviews！I was wondering how the s1 compares to acmer p3.

I'm so jealous 😂

Brilliant. Thanks! Love the 20% volume, 8x speed!

Welcome to the club. The parallel guide and rail square parallel guides are very useful in getting accurate cuts straight from the sheet. I am redoing my sheet cutting table to allow for the hinge system, fence, and to do rip cuts with the parallel guide. This way I cut once on the sheet goods and I know things are accurate. Lumber will also get cut on the table. Thanks to these items, I can move away from the mft table idea. I don’t need mft things as most of my cuts are using the hinge, track saw and the fence. The biggest advantage for the system. If someone like me who has zero experience can cut square cuts, anyone can.

Choosing between these two saws is akin to choosing between a Lexus and a BMW. If you like innovation, buy German. If you prefer reliability and craftsmanship buy Japanese.

Super helpful and you explained this all well. Getting ready to try them now. Thanks

Hey my friend, Another job well done with the xTool S1! I would love to see a xTool software tutorial from you. I think if you had a video to show your audience and newbie’s how to use the software will greatly help those who just got their laser and those still thinking about it. Again, great job👍👏 I’ve been working on some cool projects until yesterday. I turned on the S1, opened the software, and lo and behold, no matter where I placed the laser head, the software still showed it in the upper left corner. I couldn’t figure out the issue until I realized the cable for the air assist was damaged. The damaged cable caused the laser not to communicate with the software. Once I removed the cable from the back of the unit and turned off the laser, everything returned to normal. However, I now have no air assist because of the damaged cable. I reached out to xTool, and they’re sending me a replacement cable. Luka from tech support has been amazing. There hasn’t been a moment where I felt ignored, Luka kept reaching out to make sure things has been resolved, he is always on top of my case by keeping in touch. So, if xTool’s is reading this, I would like thank you for having an awesome employee “Luka” for his passion and carefulness working with his customers. Section 29:31 may seem like a lot of money, but when you break it down, from the quality of the packaging to the hardware build, I think it is priced just right. Most folks don’t realize how many employees are involved in the development of XTool’s products. Almost like Apple, everyone has a specific responsibility, from architectural design, building and testing a prototype model, to testing the final product. Plus, there’s another department just for user experience and implementation. The xTool team is huge compared to any other laser company I know about. I once thought the price was too high until I got my hands on the XTool S1. The only other exception for excellent build quality and support is the Roly LaserMatic MK2. Even though Roly is new with just a few employees, their laser is also unmatched in build quality and support. The LaserMatic MK2 is very budget-friendly for what you get. For me, the only drawback with Roly products is LightBurn. All of their lasers only use LightBurn, and I find that to be a drawback since it is not user-friendly. I prefer XTool’s software over LightBurn any day. I can get to more projects faster without a lot of settings with XTool’s software compared to LightBurn. Don’t get me wrong, LightBurn is far more powerful than XTool’s, but it is not user-friendly. Yeah, if anyone is considering a laser and not just for basic projects, xTool is something I would highly recommend. xTool’s products are very similar to Apple’s. You may be paying a premium, but the overall quality and functionality of each product are unmatched. If I didn’t own the S1, I would agree with many potential buyers that the price is high, but now that I have the S1, my thoughts have changed.😎

Very cool machine! Thanks for sharing.

the right angle bosch fitment is adjustable by pulling the fitment away from the drill body and turning it , theres no need to loosen the fitment like you did

Not working

Blue loctite on the square locating pins should keep them in place.

Hi very nice presentation. How is the saw dust collection?

FYI, the extrusions are standard 2040 v slot extrusions minus one v slot on the face.

Using nylon washers on the flip stop removes slop without making them too tight to flip smoothly.

Handles and on/off switch look like they'd be the biggest issue. Any opinions?

It is good that the bench dogs rail square and hinge can be used with many different manufactures saws, you are not tied to one.

You can use the stops in either direction. Useful if you are cutting nearly square rectangles so you can use two stops. With metric its best just to use metres and milimetres. If you have something with a 20 dimension then you know its the thickness of a board, small off cut etc (20mm) or the side of a building, very large roof truss (20m). With centmetres there is more room for confusion if you do not state the unit. When you look at your fence you have to just know that 2 is 20mm when you say what it is.

Another awesome video Cole!

Another great video! Although I am considering upgrading to the Festool track saw, I currently have the Kreg. You mention that Ultra Rail Square will work on the Kreg system which is fantastic, but do you know if the hinge system will also? It does not appear to be specifically called out in their labels so if anyone knows for sure can they please comment. Thank you! EDIT: I just saw that Kreg is listed on their website as being supported with the hinge system.

Got mine in the mail earlier this week.

Hey. Yet another great video. Thanks for sharing it.

Thanks for the overview and demo. I'm not a huge fan of the benchdog hinge because it sits above the bench. The dashboard looks great, but $$$. The newer benchdogs rail square looks nice, I had the same festool/tso square and sold it after not wanting to deal with it tipping or printing a solution. That said, I haven't felt like I needed a rail square since I got my woodpeckers 1281 (aluminum version); it's a bit quicker and easier for me to just line the track up with my mark, square it up with the 1281, and make my cuts. That's mostly just for breaking down b igger panels though. For most cuts my preferred method is just the track with stanton dog locks. I printed my own after purchasing Dave's files and they came out great. I didn't like the ujk clips at all. Thanks for the video!

Have had my benchdogs hinge for over a year and love it. I liked the fact that it didn’t rely on any t track to mount. I will say the one issue I have with my mft/hinge system is how wide the table is. It’s hard to flip the rail up so that it stays up on its own. I need to figure out a counter weight solution.

Congrats on the hinge from bench dogs. I have zero doubt you will love the hinge system. You pointed out an obvious thing about the Festool track square, in which I didn't know. I love TSO products but I never put 2 and 2 together to see that TSO track squares are indeed Festool rebranding the TSO product. With that Jason at bourbon moth let slip that Isotunes makes the Festool ear protection . I also would like to say the sky is the limit for you my friend your skills at presenting and your presentation are fun to watch. I like that you left the missed shot of your demonstrating the square of the cut, and you left it in the final edit. As a photography enthusiast, editing is where it can really become labor intensive. Oh yeah what the heck with the Canadian pricing holy cow you make me feel ok about the cost of things here in the USA. LOL

Got my Benchdogs hinge today and mounted it to the new Metabo MWB 100. Great combination!
