Does anyone have a pic of the box the mt55 comes in? I may end up using a systainer. I'll get one for you today. It comes in the older style systainer.

Awesome, CD! Looking forward to your review once you get it. Did you get any other accessories or just the saw to start?

Makes sense if you are not going to try the rails. I think that the blades it takes are the same as Festool's versions too or Tenryu.

How does the Mafell blade compare to the Festool blade, anyone know?

How does the Mafell blade compare to the Festool blade, anyone know? I'd say the quality is the same. Differences are that the Kerf is thinner. 1.8mm vs 2.2mm for Festool blades. I'm personally a fan of thin kerf blades. Less resistance and less dust.

Good to know on the kerf thickness. Never thought about it helping with DC before.

I like the available blades with less teeth. That's a plus with composite decking.

Damn guys, I can't wait till tomorrow! Did you guys have to be there to sign for the fedex package? Yes - if it is shipped signature required. I always try to have things delivered with no signature, but I live in a safe area and have never had an issue with theft before.

So I missed the fedex guy this morning. Lady says I'll have to wait till Monday. I raised enough stink and they finally gave me the location of the truck. I chased him down in a Target parking lot. Hey I got the saw. Lol

I was at home and waiting at the door and the guy went to my neighbor's and then drove off. I literally was on the phone with them but they refused to have the driver return so I had to wait till the next day. Glad you were able to chase him down and get it. I think we need to see some pics...

I put my mt55cc in a festool sys 5 so I can carry my hose with it. The Mafell insert fit it with a slight modification.
