    Hi guys looking into getting one of these with the guide rail for trimming doors and cutting ply. Does anyone know if the hose from a Henry will fit in the extractor outlet on the saw?

    Yes you can buy an adaptor from festool for the end of the hose from memory, ring tts tooltechnics and ask for one of the reps to call you, there a good bunch.

    I love mine but oh so much better when you buy the festool Hoover to, be warned though it's a slippery slope once you start buying there products. I dread to think how much I've spent over the years..

    The standard henry wont fit it mate as said above. the saw and vacuum are worth every penny, especially as the vacuum has the automatic on/off function...well handy.

    If your only cutting doors you may aswell buy any old plunge saw with a decent blade. I think festools is too expensive. £400 for a jigsaw???mental
