Here is another vid I done with the erika using the clean box you get as an optional extra instead of using vacuum cleaner

Actually Pretty impressed with the dust collection there and that's without a vac.

Just a cardboard box. They recon using a vac you get 96% and with the clean box you get 94% dust collection. For cross cuts the clean box works great and saves having to get a vac out. It's only if you are doing a lot rip cuts over 50mm deep I think you better using the vac, you can still use the clean box but I find the amount of saw dust being made it can't always clear quick enough. Where the vac gives the blower on the saw a helping hand. Then when using a vac it's best to use one where a light or alarm sounds to let you know it's full or the blower on the saw will blow the dust down the pipe and block it

wrightwoodwork, thanks for the new video.
Next time could you move the camera a bit closer though, so we can see some more details?

only thing keeping me from making videos is lack of a good set up

Aaron, I got a request for you. Could you snag some video of how blade change is done, setting bevel angles, folding and transporting the saw? Would be nice to see how easy/difficult these operations are.

I always wonder about something. I maybe wrong, but most of the European use quality tools (expensive ones), in NorthAmerica most of the people try to use cheap tools.
My understanding is that money is tight in EU than in NorthAmerica, but I see more and more videos people in EI using more quality tools from all brands. I wonder why is that?

I'm not sure we use more high quality tools here but there's 2 things that immediately pop in my mind:
1) People have embraced the internet a lot more in the States than here in Europe. With that I mean engaging on forums, making and posting youtube videos.
2) I'm talking soley for Belgium on this one, but you guys in the States have access to A TON more stuff than we do.
When we buy a tool it's either junk, or we have to go to a specialty shop and spend a truckload of money. (Which are few and far in between. We have to import almost everything)
So... we kind of get one or the other, there's little middle of the road stuff, really.
About the only people engaging on the internet are those that have the better tools, which is most likely why it would seem like it does to you.

when we speak of quality tools here we're most often referring to European brands. maybe that says something

Ghostfish will sort out those couple of videos setting up doing the angle cuts etc. I have to agree with Jonathan most people don't have the high end tools even though it can appear that way. Sometimes things are not what they always appear I gave the high end tools like mafell, and hilti but I've paid for them all there not the guy I work for. Where a lot of guys will use the companies power tools which is fine, until you all want to use the same tool at once so my attitude is if I'm needing that tool and using a lot I will buy it's making me money , where waiting for a shot of a tool is costing me money

This is a video of an older model erika (in german of course) where he goes through setting up the angle fence. It appears there's an additional clip to eliminate slop when setting the fence. Can anyone verify if this exists on current models and if it works well?

The fence shown there is the universal fence with the 1m guide fence extension the universal fence comes standard with the erika 70 works great but isn't as good as the multi purpose fence which comes with the 85. Not sure how good the clamp for taking out the slop is but my thinking is it is more for use with sliding table. Think I need to do some vid showing the erika being set up
