I Go To Festoool Training and Find Out About Splinter Guards on Jigsaws

I have used this jigsaw for more than 3 years, primarily cutting curved parts out of plywood when building furniture and cornices, accepting the resulting splinters that came with it. I never even knew there was a splinter guard. After reading what you said about the guard I rummaged around in the box, found it and put it on my saw. WOW, what a difference! No splintering and the dust collection even works right without clogging up the ports. I'd always thought this was Festools one product that wasn't quit right but now I'm convinced they know what they are doing. Turns out it was me. Thanks for turning me on to a better way of working this this jigsaw.

I talked with a pro cabinetmaker a few weeks ago who specifically mentioned the seven years of faultless, flat-out market beating, noting else comes close, performance he has had from his Festool Jigsaw as his justification for insisting on Festool for all his hand held power tools. When someone (who knows what they are doing) questions it, he gives them his jigsaw and says try that, 30 second later, see? Bingo, another Festaholic!
