Festool

Festool makes up a large part of this workshop, and I am an ambassador for them in Denmark, which is worth knowing before you read a word of this. The system argument is the real one: a single battery platform, a dust extractor that talks to the tools, and rails that fit across the range. It is expensive kit. Whether that trade makes sense depends entirely on how many hours a week you spend behind the tool. Each page below has what I actually use it for.

Festool CARVEX PS 420 EBQ Jigsaw

Festool CARVEX PS 420 EBQ Jigsaw

Ambassador

I generally don't like jigsaws. That was until I got my hands on the Carvex. Ridiculous shapes, tight corners where circular saws can't reach. This changed my mind about what a jigsaw can do.
