Here is a vid of some serious insulation cutting

I guess you could use those F-FIX spike clamps possibly on other region specific insulation materials too as long as the insulating material was 50mm or thicker. Just take your P1cc with long bosch blade and your rail and you're in biz.  (seems like a similar clamping system, shallower no spikes, could be created for all f-rail for fast clamping of sheet on over hang cutting). I like these snap-bands. I use some silicone ones right now that were laying around but they coil to a tighter diameter. In the video the mafell snap bands look like they have slicker surface and won't coil up too tight.  |

I knew I was saving those snap bands for a reason - is that what they're really used for, lol?

I even have one around the MT55 cord to keep it coiled in the box so when I pull out saw I don't need to grab cord. (mine were an advertising giveaway and are wide, 31mm, with a quality silicone).
At first use you realize the novelty is greater than use in practice and you'll quickly dismiss them. While they are easy to take off it's putting them on that seems not worth it... but... if you use them a few times they start to grow on you when you realize they're faster and less hassle than velcro. After a while they become second hand. (if you have a need in the first place).
Those mafell ones in the video, that look smooth and shiny, look like the reflective ankle band style with mafell printing. Unfortunately those are sold by China in only 40cm lengths (too long).

That's quite some vac. they're using too. An S35M custom mounted to a 200l/44gal. drum? Great for the light fluffy stuff such as the wood fibre insulation blocks they're cutting, but I'd imagine the bags would get pretty heavy with other denser forms of waste.
I wonder how the window of the drum works with the bag? How would you know when it's full? Maybe it just presses up against the perspex window.
I haven't seen much use of expanded wood fibre insulation yet here in the antipodes. A pity really. It's an ideal win/win solution to the disposal of short fibre wood waste, and infinitely better as a solution not just for super-insulating buildings, but also much less irritating than glass fibre insulation (our most common), less toxic in fire than expanded polystyrene, and presumably less expensive than wool & blended batts. As a wannabee architect, it appeals on a number of levels.
