Got a Hilti 267-E on ebay a couple of days ago and played around with it a little. The behavior of the electric brake is something I have not seen before.
There is a power switch lockout button on top of the handle that you must depress with your thumb, before you can engage the power switch with your index finger.
When you release the power switch, it cuts the power, of course, but electric brake does not engage immediately.
The electric brake is engages when you release the power lockout button with your thumb.
So you can let it spen down slowly if you want, or stop it with the brake.
Overall seems very nice. The parts are very intricate, maybe a little delicate though.
The variable speed is kind of cool.
I had planned to put the ez base on it, but I have since learned that the hilti can use festool rails, so I might get one to keep the depth of cut.
