While a famous pizza shop on the boardwalk was being renovated they asked me to cut thier laminate countertop. Well, I showed up with the Festool TS-55. As all the other contractors were saying that it would chip up the top. As they all watched I clamped down the FS 1400 straight edge, set the depth on the saw. ZIP! Ran the saw and it was PERFECT, and done in about 5 minutes. Stephen M., New Jersey
