Festool competition tests in P/W this month

[Mac McQuinn]

I noticed a plunge cut saw test in this month's Popular Woodworking issue with both Dewalt and Mikita's new saws as competition for Festool. All 3 are tested. I won't spoil anyone's surprises.....so pick up the new issue if you're interested.

I read the article. It is more of a comparison of Festool, Dewalt and Makita plunge saws and rails than a "test". The article discusses some of the features and differences between the three brands. I found it interesting there was little mention of dust collection, which I think is an important feature of guided plunge saws.
