  I am a proud owner of the TS75 and MFT3 and now use it as a replacement to my older bosch GCM12SD which had quite a few problems when cutting perfect 90* angles. I visited a local trade show and purchased the system including the 1.4m rail, MFT3 and other kit and since, it's been a life saver.

For the first minute or two of using my TS75 after 2 days of owning it, I wondered if there was a motor fault. clearly not the case. It delivers a heck of a lot of power and the electronics assist in the right amount of power to the blade. a stunning machine and proud to use it.
