   The Festool is a marvel. I don't know anything about the new DeWalt.

   With the Festool I get glue-up quality edges - at 90* or any other angle. Dust collection is superb.

   Of course it can be used to break-down sheet-goods, but I use it for edge trimming hardwoods.

   Thanks Chris, I haven't ruled anything out yet including deciding its too expensive and living with my home made saw guide (although I know its not the same!)

   I just wasn't privy to their PR as I live in Israel and thankfully don't own a TV just a computer (same thing if you ask me)
