To compare it to Rutlands is a bit ridiculous
Very true. It might not have come across the way I intended, the point I was trying to make was that even very expensive tools can be shite.
I've owned festool in the past but found it very a frustrating experience. IMO the only thing about festool that justifies the price tag is the theft replacement scheme.

Which is why I bought the Mafell track saw 😉
That tear down is annoying as fuck tho. Can’t bodge something apart then be surprised when it doesn’t run quietly. I don’t own any festool gear, but have used it a lot. To compare it to Rutlands is a bit ridiculous - they’re opposite ends of the spectrum, regardless if you’re a fan or not. I’m not really a Festool apologist, Makita/Bosch/dewalt do the job well enough for a lot less cash (with a degree of mixing and matching).
Deffo agree with setting up a mitre saw - spent a good while getting the fence on mine right, and will likely do it again if we actually move somewhere that I can have it set up as a bench saw.
