The only complaint I could possibly have would be in comparing it to festool, there just aren't any aftermarket jigs, guides, add-ons to use with mafell. Track clamps by mafell are over $100 a piece and the price on mafell stuff skyrocketed this year. While the one vendor in the states does a great job with their customer service, I feel like mafell has cut their own legs out by not allowing the tools to be more widely sold, and consequently upgraded. The core tool however, is excellent.
I agree. It's a beast, but very well made, with a better track and works extremely well, on thick woods that the Festool balks at (at least the TS55). But $$$ and no aftermarket parts.
