New Tool Review - "Festool Circular Saw."

With the first panel cut to size in both dimensions, she has marked it (standing in the background) and prepares to make the next cut — a long rip that will net her three sides.
	Since a portion of the 4 X 8 has been sized and removed, Karla clamps that end of the long guide using a block of 3/4" wood above the foam board and 1/2" plywood below. The insert shows this better.
With guide clamped at both ends and on her marks, she starts the cut.
	With the guide holding the saw accurately she can stop and reposition herself to make the long cut. Being able to un-plunge and re-plunge so easily and safely makes a long cut like this very easy.
She repositions herself once again to finish the cut. Note that in all the pictures, you do not see any dust which is amazing since this flakeboard material usually throws dust everywhere. The dust collection properties of both the saw design and the vacuum is so good that we see almost no sawdust even after all the cuts.
	The Systainer boxes mounted on the vacuum gives Karla a convenient and safe place to store the saw between cuts.
Just as a double check, Karla checks to see that her guide is square to the bottom edge. It is.    Karla continues cutting the panels until she has the major components.
	With the white melamine parts done, she can remove the very lightweight foam insulation panel. Except for a few shallow cuts, it is as good as new. We can store it away and re-use it when next we cut up a large panel.
Karla had marked each piece with the cut designation. Now she can identify the back and sides and bring them to the assembly table.
