Well, it is so quite and inactive, makes more extra vigilant, since I've heard a fly landing in the corner of this board couple of weeks ago... makes me think it's died, not a sound since. Am I missing something in general what is happening, why nobody bothers to discuss or even get heated over the tools or even the wrong tools being used and abused? .. .. .. ..

I pop by to see if there are any questions... maybe people of have move onto other forms of communication, Insta etc.,
I've done my fair share of posting to try and keep the forum active, but only so much can be said on one brand of tools, I keep Festool and other brands out of it if not immediately relevant.
The core forum users seemed to have wittled away, some of the one time or two time posters have been a long way short of polite, i've certainly called a couple of them out on childish behaviour... but that's the Internet, everyone's allowed to use it.
I'll stick a post up when the cordless jigsaw comes.
Apart from all that, still using my Mafells week in week out, nothings broken, still accurate and a pleasure to use. A few real stars : DDF40, MF26, LO55, P1CC, MT5518 that I really wouldn't want to be without, but they're all used regularly (as well as my decent Festool collection), and they're still earning me money - it's that that counts!

Been busy, but keeping eye on forum. I still use my kss60, though not as often as I should. Still using my mt55. Every time I use them I think "I should do this more".
I still drool over the DD40, someday I'll pull the trigger, but the price hikes keep nudging my fingers off the buy button.
I actually used my kss60 to rip some 1x8 strips for a spacer bit off a 2x6 yesterday with the guide as I didn't have a table saw anywhere near, and that worked a treat.

Keep dropping in, but haven't had much to contribute lately. Working on relocating our bathroom at home, so might start a thread on that.

I check in from time to time, there doesn't seem to be much to talk about lately. Not that I post much in general, here, or anywhere else. The tools are thankfully drama free... I'm replacing the bungee cord on the KSS40 crosscut rail which finally wore out after 8 years or so of regular use.

Nice to see some discussion.
I recently received email suggesting that the cordless jigsaw may be available early next year. Would appreciate feedback from early adopters.

Would appreciate feedback from early adopters. Mine should be here towards the end of August - I've been waiting a long time for this!

Forced retirement never good... hold on to anything rare/irreplaceable.
No way to just slow down / take it easy?

Forced retirement never good... hold on to anything rare/irreplaceable. No way to just slow down / take it easy? Did try, sort of do, but so many "little things catching up" not sure how it'll end. Talking of which, might be only UK very specific- "there are so many "know it all" chiefs, so few Indians..."
