This week being using the kss for a house of finishing today the kitchen fitter was in and ask me if I had done all the facings with the saw and everything else was well impressed at how simple and effective the rail is. Then I had to explain how it works. The 300 would be nice as just a bit lighter and cross cut of 400 isn't needed. Only problem not cordless. Still maybe look into one in the future

Framed in a gable in 6"×2" with my cordless kss400 the other day, made the the job quick and easy, no chance of getting a chopsaw round to it as it was on a steep muddy bank plus you cant rip ply with a chopsaw! Handsaw would be fine but time/energy consuming(getting old/lazy). love the 400 in corless, can pick it up and take it anywhere with no cables for me or anyone else to trip on, such a vesatile saw with plenty power/battery life. Was going to sell the case to recoup some funds and make a box for the rail and keep the saw/batteties etc in a systainer but have decided to keep it as it keeps everything together, well organised and safe, it also locks so nobody can use it without my say so! Would love a cordless 300 but also love using my corded 300 with my FS mini vac with the autostart so for now I am extremly content with my 3saw setup, 300 for finishings, 400 as an allrounder and mt55 for finer work, mafell saws are the shizz!

Nice one. Just being thinking I maybe need to get the 300 as well. Being doing a few more odd bits of finishing. Also went to look at a job right in the city center doing finishings. The little 300 would be ideal I recon. Simply because it is so portable and for taking on public transport carrying up 10 floors would be far easier than the likes of a chopsaw and stand.

That's what I've been telling you guys!

I recently renovated my own place, the only time I used a chopsaw was for small external mitres on the skirtings. The 300 did the rest, cut all my facing mitres in og oak and they are perfect, more accurate than any chopsaw. Ripped all the full checks, even cut 6"x 2" with it and finished with a hand saw. If I could have only one of my 3 saws it would be the 300, i do mostly finishing work and has been a real game changer. Love the mt55 for kitchens and cutting laminates and the cordless 400 is just the icing on the cake! I am going to adapt a systainer mft so i can mount the 300 in the lid with toggle clamps to make a tiny portable table saw for ripping facings/cills/ingots etc and do the same with my of1010 and carvex, check out timothy wilmots on youtube, got the idea from him.

Got to test the 400 properly today, ripped around 30m of half inch ply and cut around 50 lengths of damp 22mm sarking board at 15° to clad a garage gable end hit and miss style. First battery was changed before fully run down and second was still showing two bars so very impressed with battery life. Space was tight and not having a cable to deal with was a luxury. Saw has tons of power, very happy with it. Looking at getting an erika 60E, would love a 70 but its twice the price and not as compact, want to make a box for the 60E that will double as its base, strange the 60E doesnt even get a mention in the erika section of this forum, seems people are only intetested in the 70/85.

Nice review thier. Yeah most people do seem to go for the 70/85. That's not to say the 60 doesn't have its place. I think its aimed at more floor layers

Been watching some of Heiko Rech's videos on youtube, he has the older erika 50. I am asuming the 60 is an upgrade to that saw? If that is the case the 60 will suit me just fine, its the accuracy and quality of attachments that i'm after. If i need to do any long accurate crosscuts i always have the kss400 or even mt55.

Got a call from mafell in germany, apparently when i got my cordless kss400 it came with the 4ah batteries. They are recalling the 4ah batteries due to reports of overheating so nathan from mafell is going to personally deliver 3× 2.6ah batteries on thursday in exchange for my two 4ah batteries. Strange but not complaining and cant fault mafell customer service, very impressive! As for the saw it keeps on impressing me more everytime i use it, cut some 45mm solid door blanks the other day no problem, there really is no difference in power over the corded version.
