Yeah I don't know how the tji packs come in other countries. Here the joist in theory should be the right size. There is still some to cut where the walls don't work out. All the full depth dwangs are cut for joists at 600 centers for 39mm tji joists. It's only between the thicker tji joists I need to cut the dwangs. Also it's the same with the support dwangs. For the ones between the tji joists which are thicker I can mark one and cut the other in gang type way. One mark to do 4/5

Much the same as that but some times there just all got over size one length and cut on site cheaper to buy that way

For thicker timbers, I can see how the 80 would rule.

The KSS saws are just awesome in capability. I keep going back and forth on whether to try a KSS first or get the MT first. I already have a Festool that I am looking to upgrade...but love the Mafell tracks...

Has anyone used one of the older 24v cordless ksp55 saws? I picked one up cheap on ebay, the price was just too good and its looks to be in fine fettle, its not lithium ion but should still be good for the odd cut where power is an issue and it works on the guide rails, found a company that makes spare batteries for it as well, much cheaper than genuine mafell.

here is a short vid doing a 45 degree beval in 2" timber obviously it doesn't go through in one go I maybe should do a side by side vid with the corded version. It does show that the saw still has the power to cut on the beval when ripping at its max depth. I also found these batteries look to be a good price www.powertoolsuk.co.uk/bosch-1600z0003c-battery-1-36v-4ah-lithium-battery.html feel tempted to give them a try. Saying that though depending on what I'm doing the standard batteries can last all day yet if having to rip a lot of timber then maybe only last 30 minutes of continuous ripping

Awesome video, Aaron. Would love to see the corded version too if you get a chance. Also, what blade are you using? Any close-up of the cut quality you can show?

I was using the standard 32 tooth blade I have specially ordered the 16 tooth cordless blade which is even thinner. I will do some comparative videos. As battery and tool technology moves on a cordless saws now are maybe a worth while investment. If you make a living from your tools then get the mafell if not then maybe one of the others. For me it's worth it as it has being used basically every work day since getting all day.

Think I've got a slight issue with the saw. My guess is I've worn the carbon bushes. Showing a larger spark when the trigger is released and occasionally not coming on. So my guess is the bushes. So will need to get fixed, just one of those things

Will do when I got the corded version it also developed a fault after 2 weeks when it got overloaded. It ended up needing a new armature and bushes. It has being fine since. It's more the nuisance factor. I'll take it in to the shop to get fixed next weekend.

Hmmm...I can see how overloading would cause issues as I did that with a router once...started smoking. That seems off that it would need brushed so quickly, though. I thought that those usually lasted a long, long time - as in hundreds, if not thousands, of hours of use.

Not 100% sure what has caused the issue. At the moment sometimes fine. I've done a lot with it and has basically being used every day since getting all day. I will be asking what caused the bushes to wear out so soon

All in hand it's the bushes. The only thing is need to order specially from Germany as don't have on the shelf. As different from the kss400 anybody else needing bushes will be fine as a stock pile has being ordered. Next weekend I'll take the saw into the saw center and they'll change them for me. Got asked if I was ok for a saw the now which I am, just need to run a load of cables which luckily I can. So I'm in the fortunate position of having a spare saw there to use. Which a lot of people don't. If I didn't I know I would be able to get a demo saw to use whilst out of action. That's what I got when my kss400 developed a fault.

Are they supposed to wear so quickly or do you just use your saw so much that it is normal? I think you said you got it about 6 months ago. That just seems really fast to me. Glad it is an easy and inexpensive fix.
