Thread: TS 55 Let the buyer be ware

Advertised on the Trading post at http://www.tradingpost.com.au/Dealer...otoDisplay.asp is the following add
Ad Details:Festool Best Deals Brand new, 3 yr warranty, TS 55 plunge cut saw with 1400mm guide rail $695, 9.6V cordless drill, reduced to clear $295. Vijays Power Tools MASCOT 02-9700 8440

This appears to represent a 16% saving on the TS 55 advetised at say http://www.idealtools.com.au/category3403_1.htm of $852.50 but beware it is not the same saw despite having the same model number - it has no electronic speed control or break etc.

I cannot find this model on the Festool site - it appears to a discontinued model - as I am not a guru on Festool models I assume this is the case.
