    Festool TS 55 FEBQ

    I agree ref professionally sharpened blades. Any new blade I buy goes to the local saw doctor before it goes on the saw I tend to favour Freud across all my saws; table, mitre, track & circular With most power tools a good brand blade, disc, bit etc makes the biggest difference.
