The part you will need to do this repair - amzn.to/3Uk5GFj
max length of the part is 12mm. some items sold on Amazon are measuring more than this despite sold as 12mm so you will be better ordering the 10mm version.
This is a stainless steel version but is available on prime. I used a different part from Amazon that took about 4 weeks to turn up.
Disclaimer - The video is a demonstration of a solution I used to fix my jigsaw, I have tested this for a month before posting but no guarantee is given or implied that this will not cause further damage to your machine.

Hated my Carvex, virtually all my kitchen fitting tools are Festool, Routers, Rail Saw, Cordless`s, Angled Cordless`s etc, so i invested in a Carvex, what an absolute bag of shite it was, i had the same issue with the blade wobbling all over the place, i also hated that it didn`t have a slow start trigger, it was on full chatt from the start, worst tool Festool ever made so i went back to my Makita LXT Cordless Jigsaw which i must have had 15 years give or take, so i sold my Carvex on 2 years ago and to be honest with you if ide have seen this video back then and saw your fix ide have still p*ssed it off and used my Makita, great video tho.

Hi Glen, if you use the auto mode it'll start steady then ramp up when in the cut, the d handle version also has a normal trigger if you prefer that?
@miserablesod1 2 жыл бұрын
My story exactly. I even sold the barrel grip version Carvex and tried the D handle model, but couldn't get on with it at all. Sold that, and went back to my Makita LXT. Quite an expensive exercise...

I too had horrible issues with the old carvex; It was basically unusable with hardwood use. I rolled the dice on the new cordless one, and was able to make some pretty difficult cuts easy right away. Was able to get the setup dialed in nicely and the startup was so much nicer.

I've got to say thank you!! Turned my basically unsafe and unusable Festool Carvex into a dream saw. This is how it should have come out of the factory. Mine has been collecting dust for a few years due to the poor cutting. Festool knows about the problem for sure due to the number of complaints and should be ashamed they have swept this under the rug and not taken accountability. Kudos to you for a cheap and easy fix. Thanks again!!

Interesting. I’ve always just used the included hex key to tighten the blade guide all the way so it’s tight, then loosen it a quarter turn or maybe a little more so the blades barely touch the blade guide. Made sure the blade is in contact with the roller before making those adjustments. Never had an issue with mine. Always had great control in my cuts.
@BradshawJoinery 4 ай бұрын
aslong as the pin infront of the blade mech stays in place then itll work great. i guess a stuck blade and pulling backwards causes it to pop out but some may be weaker than others. one of mine was like it out the box.
@phillong420 4 ай бұрын
Same here. It takes some effort and learning to get the adjustment right. But once you know how to do it it's a good Jigsaw. It works best with the golden Festool blades. Another factor to consider is if you set the speed dial to automatic or to a certain speed. On automatic the saw is slow at first then ramps up the speed when it senses resistance. I recommend to not use the automatic setting and rather set it to the highest speed, because it takes a moment for the saw to ramp up the speed.

A surprisingly easy and accessible fix. I bought the Trion jigsaw as I'd read about this common problem with carvex and didn't fancy splashing out on a Mafell - I don't really use a jigsaw that regularly (they've always seemed a bit of a rudimentary way of sawing) The Trion has been excellent and I'm glad I didn't go for the Carvex or a Mafell given the price. Hopefully some folks out there will get some benefit from this video - shame that Festool R&D don't seemed to have cottoned on to this very common problem. Perhaps retooling/new mould making to accommodate a fix is just too expensive for them to think about!

Thankyou Frank, the very same day I released the video he put the same advert on Facebook.... Using my picture and wording and without even completing the repair himself. I got that removed. Hopefully people will search Google and find the video instead.

Wish I'd seen this 3 months ago. Top work fella. Sadly, too late for me, I'm back with my Makita after trying the barrel grip and D handle version Carvex and selling them both...

Thank! I've ordered the part. I'm also having trouble with square cuts. The blade isn't square to the base.

Awesome. You have fixed Festools worst tool. The old PS300 is a far superior jigsaw. And of course the Mafell is the best in the world. (I have all 3)
@BradshawJoinery 2 жыл бұрын
Haha, its certainly a bloomin lot better! The mafell seems popular but the weight of the carvex is enough in my opinion. I think if there was a blade to rival the mafell one then the carvex could be as good!

Hi Oliver, haven’t got a tenner but thought I’d share my experience to help your channel, I’ve just received a 2014 carvex off ebay and has this problem, I’ve ordered the screws they are coming tomorrow, thank you so much for sharing this info, you must have a very inquisitive mind as I wouldn’t know where to start looking for this fix , all the best, i intrigued to know if festool has approached you with any feedback whatsoever
@Littleshedjoinery 2 жыл бұрын
Bloody awesome fix. I routinely curse at how crappy the Carvex is so maybe, just maybe this’ll make it useable!

I’ve had one of these for over a year and barely use it because, quite frankly I thought it was crap. I have a Bosch that I’ve had 18yrs and the handle on the Festool is just not as comfortable . That coupled with the fact it wobbles about like a pissed vicar means it rarely comes out. Tomorrow, I’m taking it apart (leaving gears firmly in place) and having a look at this mod. Who knows, I may even retire the Bosch….😢 Thanks for the video 👍🏻🔨🪚
