I am a kitchen fitter and have the Bosch corded rail saw. I have had the saw for approximately 10 years and it has never broken down,kicked back or let me down. It has cut everything I have ever put the saw to use on. Plastic,laminate,pine,compact laminate,resin surfaces,cement board,plasterboard,wet wall panels, acrylic splash backs and I even used it to trim down a metal shower wall profile plus insulation board. Blades range from around £18 upwards and are readily available. I have found cheaper blades to last and perform well. I just price a cheaper blade into each kitchen fit and find I get a few jobs out of each blade. The expensive Bosch blades at around £50 are good and do last but I can’t say their performance is a noticeable improvement. I would buy another one if it packs up as I don’t know how I used to fit kitchens without it.
I am trying to decide between the festool, makita, and milwaukee cordless track saws. I dont own batteries for any of these platforms yet. I'd also like a dust extractor to ruen with the saw as well.
@@ritambharjay9734 1. you can use the battery for a lot of tools 2. milwaukee offers the same quality with the same tool price but the accessories are cheaper, just compare the prices of 106 inches festool and milwaukee tracks
It was, but the brand new Festool ts60 is much more powerfull Cuts deeper ist more robust and has more Features. Mafell is now 14 years old, festool ts60 Release a feaw weeks ago. But the older ts55 is now over 20 years old
@@Dtonk4609 i dont think so, mafell never replace there Tools under 25 years zicle. Thats on every Tool they have. The next Tool thats replaced is the mafell lo55 and thats the best Router that if seen. I have as much mafell as festool Tools bothe are german made and there factorys are few miles apart. Festool mafell are the best tool maker on Market. Festool invented the tracksaw/plungesaw, mafell the normal saws.
I've thought that about a ton of tools ive bought and then ive ended up using them countless times. Granted a lot of them didn't cost as much as a track saw but if ya want one get one. You'll use it.
this video does not really explain "Why". What you can do, time, accuracy, savings, cuts that you can or can't do. It is more of a festool fanboy ad. You seem to leave out Makita as well. Heavy on promo, little on useful informational content.
Hi @rshawiii! Thanks for the feedback. In our video, we wanted to provide a balanced report on the track saws we have and what each can offer. At the moment, we do not offer Makita Track Saws but with the other reviews of the Festool, Bosch, and Milwaukee we hope you find one that fits your needs! If you need more information, feel free to read our blogs or come in person to get the most information!
Hi I just purchased a Makita corded track saw…. I thought a track saw would be a excellent tool for cutting sheet plywood and Melamine down to size.. I can’t say I’m really impressed… My issues are the the motor slows down on some of the cuts and the plunging action feels Awkward and can cause rpm changes while plunging that can cause blade jamming.. When cutting sheet plywoods I warn you to make the sheet is perfectly straight and flat and the pieces on each side of the blade are evenly supported if not you will get blade binding and saw kick back… So these are some of the issues I had that never had with a ordinary circular saw…
When I'm cutting plywood with a Track Saw, I lay it on a thick sheet of foam. To your point, it keeps the board straight and I never really had any issues with it.
most of the top brand track saws are great except dewalt if you want to buy a corded one try to go with the battery system you are already in, but i suggest to avoid festool because the accessories are expensive, milwaukee offers same price for tool as festool but milwaukees tracks are cheaper. just dont forget to not buy corded version if you dont need it, with track saws you will use a vaccumer too so corded or cordless wont effect different
Milwaukee was last of these 3 and behind Makita, Dewalt and many others as well. Good News is they finally came out and have been very solid tools ever since.
U know what track saws have really taken out of carpentry is the skill of a tradesperson to cut timber true and straight and given it to the diyer I’m not saying that’s a bad thing all I’m saying is that’s democracied it u don’t need to b an experienced time served carpenter to now cut true straight cuts anymore with this tool literally anyone can do it but for the carpenters out there it does speed the whole process up which ain’t a bad thing
It seems many do enjoy the Festool brand for track saws and they seem to keep up with renewals of older versions. I think this makes people want to continue to purchase from them or even start to purchase from them :)

Milwaukee is the best pick for you.
To be clear, track saw should be Milwaukee and dust extractor should be the corded festool ct48
Why milwaukee and not festool?

From everything I read, mafell is the cream of the crop for track saws
Followed closely by Festool. The Germans sure know how to build tools

@@exigauner yeah I would think Mafell has a saw coming down the line too

Bosch..!!! (That's the one I got since I couldn't have de Mafell). BTW I'm happy as a clamp.
I want one even though i dont really need one

Whats your thoughts on 18v Milwaukee vs Bosch?

Which one do you Recomend
I have lots of Milwaukee tools all
I don’t have track saw
If you’ve got lots of Milwaukee stick with red, it’s a solid unit. Not worth jumping platforms if you’ve got a good option right there.
@@OhioPowerTool alright yes I have 9.00 batteries all fuel great quality I’m buy red then thanks 🙏
I have the 36volt Makita tracksaw and it’s a fantastic tool. I am thinking about getting the 40volt Makita next
I have the 40v. I wouldn’t say your missing out
How can I get the European Milwaukee track?
Here is the link to the Milwaukee Track Saw Bundle: www.ohiopowertool.com/milwaukee-tools-2831-21-bundle-1 We do sell each product separately as well
But how am I going to lose my hand without using my table saw?
It appears that if you’re using dust extraction then battery saws are unnecessary as you’re tethered anyway. That saves some money and hassle.
they have vacuums you can strap on your back that you can attach it too.

Hey guys what do you think is the best track saw

Shame on you for not mentioning the Makita model!
We don't currently carry the Makita model but we heard it's a good option as well!
Wasnt milwaukee not the last one to release a tracksaw?
Even budger brand where ealier.
Milwaukee was last of these 3 and behind Makita, Dewalt and many others as well. Good News is they finally came out and have been very solid tools ever since.
My hikoki track saw is awesome
We are glad you enjoy it!
Very Cool Video

With the web, anybody can do anything.
Makita for value, all day.
To rich for my blood
Stinking Festool commercial.
Why festool invented the plunge and rail saw, its made high quality in germany and bosch milwaukee cheap in china.
It seems many do enjoy the Festool brand for track saws and they seem to keep up with renewals of older versions. I think this makes people want to continue to purchase from them or even start to purchase from them :)
Why no info on how deep they cut...
Feel free to check out our blog, it has more information on each track saw! Link: news.ohiopowertool.com/why-do-you-need-a-track-saw/
