Erika Videos

I've seen that video before. It's in Dutch which happens to be my native tongue 
I'm not really up for translating the entire video word for word, but I'll watch it again and see if I can sum it up for you.

- The Erika is built sturdier, there's less flex in the chassis.
- In particular he was extremely impressed with how the Erika stabilizes itself with just a single tap of the whatchamacallit doohicky stabilizer on the front feet.
- He could not get his Precisio stable.
- The Erika is extremely stable in his opinion.
- He hates the knobs on the Erika and wishes he could exchange them with the Festool ones, as those are much more ergonomical.
- He also liked how the extension tables for the Erika just slide on and are automatically aligned, whereas for the Precisio you have to bolt them on and align them to the surface. Which is a faff as the srews are very tiny and hard to reach.
- When moving the Precisio sometimes the table widening extension come loose.
- Unboxing and initial set-up time was about 30-45 minutes for the Erika compared to 2 hours with the Precisio.
- He then estimates that after you know how it all goes together, the Erika can be set up in 10-15 minutes, the Precisio in 20-30 minutes.
- Dust collection on the Erika is marginally better than on the Precisio.
- His test cuts went about 0.5mm out of square on the Erika, 1.5mm on the Precision over a distance of 50cm.
With the default  miter gauge. He didn't know theres an additional rip fence for the Erika.
- The Festool has a blade brake that stops the blade in 2 seconds. The Erika takes 7 seconds to stop the blade. 
- The Precisio also sounded a lot more civilized to him, wheras the Erika sounds more raw.
- The Erika has 85mm height of cut, the Precision 70mm.
- He concludes the Erika is all-round better constructed and engineered and can make more precise & accuarte cuts.

Thanks for the Translation!

Cant tell you how many times I wondered what was being said.

Looks like good dust collection.

Pulling material through the back side of the saw must be a technique from across the pond.......

Thanks for posting I have done another couple of videos with the erika, 1 making a rebate cut and another putting a 10 degree beval on the timber Window frames. Away from the Erika I have also made a video using the dd40p will post a link when I get downloaded

Hi finally managed to get the video downloaded of making a rebate cut in a Window frame
