Yeah, there was a youtube video posted, then quickly removed. Late September release I believe.

I only saw a couple of screenshots, kraft. The body looked different, but the fence etc looked the same. There's some sort of rod that attaches to the sides of the fence with stops on it. Will try to find the screenshots and post them.

MUF member Sylwester posted some pics on the Mafell Talk Group Facebook page. They're his pics, so don't really want to take them...maybe he'll re-post them here?

Looked geared more towards working with standard cabinet ply. Didn't notice notches for the indexing rail.

Corded or cordless? I've heard a rumour DD would go cordless.

Having used the DD40P on a build-in for Lamello Divario fixings in-situe, I can see the side mounted dust port getting in the way... having said that, need to wait and see why the new model has been released, I'm guessing it's more than just an external re-design...

I think the most important improvement might be the ability to set 2 different depth stop settings. That way you don't have to constantly change the depth setting when doing cabinets.

I'm assuming the dust port detaches (?)
Is there some time saving advantage to moving dust port from bottom to side so that you can just use whatever flat substrate material is laying on to slide the DDF40 on as well instead of relying solely on the adjustable fence? As in if they include some slap on shim plates too?

I'd be interested in trying one, seems they have tried to put an ergonomic grip on it.
