Despite a relative good impression unpacking (including real steel clamping nuts, not no plastic screws as too often integrated greenhouse fairly robust joints), I quickly became disillusioned! Especially when I found out that this universal system makes it perfectly useless compulsory blade guard must therefore remain open all the time the saw is callee in the base / sliding shoe.
With all Mafell + rail and a Festool same enssemble tested before, security is recovering back soon as we saw at the beginning of the track. This is also the indispenssable movement buddy taught me! With this we are constantly out FKS115 secu / standard, and yet European product design (Wolfcraft, German manufactured in the Czech Republic I think) therefore seems to me illegal in EU! straw!
I notice immediately bare fingers, this guide qd wants to go back after crossing the end of the rail, the saw and safety appears to move and jump just by plugging these two connectors between the rail and the blade ... which shifts the blade recess. So every time the saw should stand, fold the cover secu by hand and then re-caller in his shoe. hem!
Nb: the adjustable shims do not keep your blocked lempêchent but saw just move sideways! Only his weight and strength the blocks ... this has the advantage that you can remove and replace the saw without disassembling anything ... but dangerous practice and inaccurate!
After this, I qd even tried it. And then disappointment when the first cuts. Non homogeneous inexplicable shifts against pre plots (? !!). After several attempts I watch closer rubber lip and discovers she is shifted by 2 mm in the middle of rail length !!! Bravo Wolfcraft finish! But there also has turns (2 to 3mm) towards the outside of rail 100 mm at end sections of the blanks than 750mm long! What happens? then I dry ...
I try qd even a bevel at 45 ° (950 mm cutting length) and there is a disaster just ate my saw at least 10 mm aluminum on the final 100 mm of the guide from the first test !!! I have not heard the alu be probably eat because of my earplugs.
In fact the plastic shoe is so flexible that when you start or finish cutting of a long piece (greater than 750mm so) that requires you to start or end the half shoe in a vacuum, this one under his twists own weight (!!!) and 2 large side tabs timing of the saw angle-type (blade side) subside and allow the saw to escape his "pen"! Hence the observed shifts after cutting with the right blade at 90 °, and in the case of the blade at 45 ° caused the "ream" the irreversible aluminum rail (i / e. The blade being reassembled " accidentally "!)
NB: the precise instructions you could cut up to 1,100 mm long !!!! hem!
So in addition to having a rail alu already late, the plastic shoe makes it all irrelevant and even more dangerous!
Thereupon be added the problem of bad hoof sliding at the beginning or end of track because of two small lateral set screw of the shoe (problem raised by certain users of the extension option) and so on .... !
Taking into my life and make a proper job of minimum I brought all this calmly this morning to the store and got myself refund after the seller also have observed deformation / dangerousness of the thing. He did not insist qd I asked him a refund of the places that have offered me, surely by my overwhelming demo was happening comment.
Certainly it goes well intentioned from Wolfcraft and not the pro stuff, but I just noted that the guide rails options pro major brands I just mentioned are often less expensive than universal guide ! Also regardless of price security is indisputable item!
Too bad either jachèterais real pro stuff, or I would beg the craftsman of my time to time pal!
PS: have you seen the inflated price of its extension option? The balls!
