I´ve only read good things about the P1cc and it was in my target list for a future but an opportunity arised and I striked. Perhaps tomorrow arrives. In photos it looked unused, in old systainer, with some accesories NOT including the tilting base. Supposedly only used for testing... hope is ok. I let you know
PS. still thinking and searching for a pull saw (festool cs or Erika)

The P1CC is the best jigsaw!.. powerful for heavy work, balanced and smooth for detailed work. Tilting base was always an option, pretty rare to see a P1CC sold with one. I've used the tilting base a few times - does what it's supposed to. I also have the Collins coping foot - not used much, but when used, it pays for itself.

Does it only shines with the cunex blades or you feel the difference with all? About blades. Apart from cunex w1, the other blades have their cheaper bosch counterparts I'm I wrong?

I use a bunch of blades. The fat ones have a Hugh taper from to back, and they go around corners like an F1 car. But the normal blades from Bosch, Hitachi, etc go fine on straighter cuts.

I use mainly Bosch fine cut - the blades don't overheat and bend like other jigsaws.

I see. and 250mm too. Is it possible to get a 90º cut with such blades?

I do interior finishing work, so have not used big blades often. I have some very long blades from Reisser. To get 90 degree cuts with long blades does require some technique and control... difficult to explain, but if you have started a cut and then put some lateral pressure on the saw, as the blade is fixed in to the saw, it 'can' push the bottom of blade in the opposite direction. You have to let the saw do the work (as with any tool) hold it firmly, but relaxed and guide the saw through the cut.

Any Bosch with DP on it is thicker and works great. Festival Carved and Trion blades work great too...they are thicker and gold painted. I get perfect square and perpendicular cuts with them. Any T shank blade works.

iban (tiny bit off topic), but can not keep it bottled up no longer, do pick € Loterry numbers for me? 🤪 It´s not luck. Is hard work and hours of confined time searching... Not always work... I´ve been looking for days or weeks for a well priced festool cs50 or erika 60 with no luck. I´m about to buy the cs50 new which is a double pain. Buying at the standard price and not choosing the Mafell version of the tool.

Mafell don't make the best of everything - I've got the 'same' tool from Mafell and Festool and in some cases the Festool wins, depends what you're doing.
Edge trimmer - I prefer the Festool MFK700 to the Mafell KF1000 Router - the Mafell LO65 is a beast and for working on wood it is so powerful, but if I had to choose between it or the Festool OF2200, I'd keep the Festool TS75 - there is no comparison, Mafell don't even make a big plunge saw Sanders - Mafell's collection is good but limited
Having said that, there are a lot of Mafell tools that are a lot better than Festool.
