Einhell exhibited for the first time this year at the D&M Toolshow… definitely on my radar now for well made tools at a fair price. Their plunge saw is a definite option 👍🏼😉 Thanks for the detailed review Peter.
I bought a 3D printed adapter base £30 on Ebay for my DeWalt 570 saw + 2 short + 2 long Evolution guide rails the new type. Tried & tested and all work together perfectly. No use for mitre cuts though.
Thanks Peter, great update and comparison as usual, this is essential viewing for anyone buying at the affordable end of the market. I finally went with Makita as I had their rail already and needed a new saw for a particular project so had to make a snap decision (I also got a decent discount at £260 for saw & case), but there are some good options here particularly with the Evolution rails now available !
Funny timing for these latest videos, I literally just got some new rails for my Mac Allister plunge/track saw! As an FYI for people reading.... the EXCEL tracks work perfectly with the Mac Allister saw, no issues, and they join to the Mac Allister tracks without issue too.
Perfect timing! Just bought the Einhell yesterday. But here in Denmark evolution tools are hard to get so ended up going with the standard Einhell rails.
Ive owned the Parkside since late 2015. The first one ever sold in The U.K. it dosent have a riving knife. Ive used it a fair bit on doors, sheet work, shelf making. The only problem i have is the hex cup screw seizing every time on blade change, which ive modded with a M8 flange bolt. In 2020 i bought the excel tracks for it which i had to modify The one i want to get is the DeWalt.
I probably jumped the gun abit here. After sitting on buying a guide rail since earlier this year and seeing your recent review on the Evolution G2, I went ahead and bought one. I've been using my dad's old Bosch 600W circular saw that I knew I could adapt to the rail without the proper base with the guide arm but for another £40, opted to buy the Evolution 185 saw. Not used it yet as it's for fitting the new kitchen however, I probably should have bought a plunge saw as it's abit more versatile. If nothing else thanks for these reviews that lead me to getting a very good value guide rail in the Evolution that I know I'll be better off with trimming the internal doors we struggled with last year just using a circular saw.
Hi Peter, good review on value track and plunge saws, 2 of my saw are plunge saws mains powered and made by Black and Decker also there are getting on a bit about 15 years old and still work like new. Parkside are getting popular now for the DIYer like me and good value for money, not available at the moment in Lidl as Christmas stock has took over but will be back in the new year. As always i value your opinion and a great video, take care
I think the raving knife on the Parkside stops it from plunging when you make an inside cut. I’m using einhell on the old evolution tracks and happy with it.
Peter, Peter, Peter, the video I was waiting for, albeit 12 months too late. I have the Rutland but struggled to understand which rails were compatible. Evo G2, if only I knew, lol.
To be fair I hilighted the parkside style saw issue with the Makita tracks in the original 'which rails work' video 5 years ago, but I agree that manufacturers could do more to make the pocesss easier to understand! 👍
I feel that I was lucky in that I got a McAllister saw from Screwfix that had been discounted down to about £70 from around £120. It became my new favourite tool and as soon as the new Evolution rails became available (and about 5 minutes after I saw your video) I got a pair in the bag for a shade under £80. I'm more than happy with my £150 total outlay but have mainly only used it on MDF with excellent results. I have a project in the pipeline (well to be honest, my wife and daughter have a project in the pipeline for me) that will be involve a fair bit of plywood so I might have to experiment and look at getting a better quality blade.
The Titan MacAllister are solid saws - and especially around that price! COupled with the Evo rails it's a winner, tough a better 48t blade will make a difference, especially in plywood with thin face veneers. 👍
Saw you first piece on the budget saw's and when in LidAldi impulse purchased a Parkside, its been great, still going really well after heavy DIY use, (p.s. I know, went into Lidl for some cheap plonk and came out with two pairs of purple wellies and an arc welder).
One of the things I love about the McAlester saw is the easy flip switch to cut a shallow scribe line before cutting full depth. Useful for cleaner cuts with cross cutting. Which of these newer budget saws has this facility?
I have the Erbauer , as others have said it can sometimes struggle with heavy cuts. I have managed to get a second set of rails secondhand. I also have got two sets of the (old) Evolution rails for next to nothing. I reckon I can cut about about 8 metres - a really useless fact. I have lots of add ons I have made with my 3d printer.
@ yeah Peter, it was a right bargain. Collected it from a cash converters near ascot. 110v and came in a systainer (bit battered like but a systainer all the same) I officially joined the cream and green club. 😆
Hi Peter, I've had the Rutlands saw, with 4 rails, for about 2 years I think. It's done a great job cutting straight edges on wany edge cladding. However the short lead is annoying. Now making some ply cabinets and had to spend about an hour filing square ends on two rails to get them to join straight. Jointing insert is not great. Will this saw fit the evolution G2? Thanks for the info. Ben
Thanks as always. It’s there any good reason ( for specific tasks perhaps) to go for a more expensive saw. Possibly the triton you mentioned ( I picked that one as I interpreted your comment to be the same saw has gone up in price) if braking down sheets is the objective and top shelf life span or feel in the had is not a huge worry, why go more expensive? Or just don’t !
Thanks! Honestly, kind of the point of this video was to emphasise that all these saws perform the same function, with very little to choose between them. The Triton for example, is pretty ,much identical to the old Titan, but with soft start and the availability of spare parts. Is that worth double the money? Well, not to me, but it may be to someone. 🤷♂️ There'll be a future video about mid-ange saws ie that there really aren't any, because beyond the basics that I mention here you're suddenly into Makita territory. Is Makita the new mid-range? Sometimes the titles just write themselves... 👍
@ nice reply. That’s what I was thinking was the case. A graphic comes to mind. One where saws are arranged by price with significant features noted beside them. The graphic I’m imagining, really shows that the price difference after the entry level saws is probably shocking for the DIY person. And with no significant benefit. For a pro using a tool many times each day the reliability and ease (due to features) might well turn into faster completion of jobs. For everyone else it’s not as important.
And yet still way better than a circular saw; there's a reason people pay more for better quality tools - it's not all about buying into a brands marketing. As I say in the video, it shouldn't come as any surprise that the more expensive tools are nicer to use and yes, have better dust extraction. 👍
@@10MinuteWorkshop Thanks Peter. I've seen the MakHack jig but found it a bit too expensive for a 3D printed block with two holes. So, as I own a good 3D printer, I've been looking for a 3D drilling jig model but couldn't find one yet. I think I'll spend some time in learning Fusion 360 and model the jig myself and probably other which I intend to share ;-). Anyway, I do appreciate your videos very much. Greetings from Brussels!
Hi Peter, the old model evolution tracks are on a Black Friday offer today. Is there any reason not to go for them or is it worth spending a little more for the newer model tracks? I’ve got the Einhell plunge saw.
I'd always go for the newer model if you have the choice - the upwards-facing t-slot on the left side means it's one of the most compatible rails around for accessories. 👍
Thanks Peter. Great information as usual. Is there any advantage of paying for Festool track over the new Evolution if m using my 2 year old PARKSIDE ? Ken from Southport UK
I'm thinking of getting the Evolution G2 rails to run a router along to make some 2300mm kitchen cabinet end panels with a faux tonge and groove. Would this work? Is there a better way to do it? A little off topic sorry 😬 Plunge saw is on the xmas list though. Great video as always 🍻
Yes, that would work re the panelling; you could adapt the router guide rail adapter I did not so long back (any router, any rail) with an extended base to locate in the groove to keep everything consistent. 👍
Another great video. I recently bought the new evolution guide rails and have been disappointed with what I was hoping to be the best joining mechanism. How have you found the fit, finish and performance of the 1400mm guide rails while joined together? Do you have a video coming? Would be interested to see your opinion. Keep up the great content.
@ when both are joined the joining bars just don’t seem to keep them locked together securely. Even when being super careful when moving between cuts they work loose. They also don’t align the two guide rails perfectly and the saw catches at the joint. May well be user error so wondering if a review video may be on the horizon 😉
Peter another great review. Two questions sorry for bothering you in you opinnion which would be better quality (smoothness in operation between the einhell and rutlands corded saws can get rutlands on sale today for £120 today with two tracks Second question can you recomend a blade rather than the stock blades i would rather start with a new blade thather than the stock blade as this may put out the chip guard Again sorry for taking up your time with the long winded questions i intend on buying the evo tracks as well. Regards
Thanks Gary, and no trouble. The Einhell is the better saw; better stock blade. The Rutlands is basically a more expensive Parkside / excel / lumberjack with no real benefit, and like most saws at this level the rails are 2 x700mm, with only third-party upgrade options. 🤷♂️👍
@10MinuteWorkshop i don't know if it's only for the German market. Seen videos here on TH-cam, where there was no riving knife at all (2023 version? maybe)
Parkside make a performance tracksaw. that means it's brushless and better quality. runs with Bluetooth batteries, etc. I've seen it advertised online, but Always out to stock. I think this would be a worthwhile upgrade if we could get hold of them. I have a performance drill. and circular saw which are many years old now. and can't get the batteries for them as they use a different battery from the team version of batteries. Luckily, both tools came with a battery each. And each had a charger also. but only last week, one of the Chargers went bang. So if the second one gives up, I'm done for. These are very well made tools. I did make a track guide out of pieces of plastic. to fit my. exist in tracks for my. plunge saws. It's okay. Get a straight line cut without. need for main's power.
I bought a erbaur plunge saw a few years back. But the blade always stalls on a cut deeper than 5mm. Resulting in a poor cut. Not sure if it's me (any tips great fully received) but I hardly use it because of this and wish I invested in a table saw.
Something definitely wrong there. I took a look at the rebranded similar sized triton a few years back and the Erbauer had the edge. What are you cutting and are you using the stock blade?
Also have the same Erbauer saw, mine doesn't sound quite as bad but the motor definitely struggles in deeper cuts, tried a fresh blade and had no real effect.
Still using the stock blade. It was a case of was it worth it. I am not cutting anything special. 22mm ply. Biggest was the bottom of 35 mm door. Which I did running multiple cuts
I have used my two year old erbaur for cutting up 2 by 4 , so about 45mm on side, with no problem if you take it easy. I have even cut part way through a fence post, less hand sawing and you have a nice 90 degree start.
You used to recommend the MacAllister (which is the reason I picked mine up). Is it fair to say that none of these alternatives are an upgrade in any meaningful way?
I’ve never recommended the MacAllister, but it was a good value proposition at around £70 - not so much at £~140-ish. These saws definitely aren’t an upgrade though, just lower priced alternatives, perhaps better made in the Einhell case. 👍
sheppach pl55 has riving knife and performs ok... joining bars on the track are garbage, sticks every time you make a cut... will have to stump up the £70 for a long single rail if you want to cut sheet goods
As per the description, I've deliberately not included the Sheppach saws here because of the crazy design choices which make them unusable on any other rails. 🤷♂️
If you put a proper blade on most of the saws they should do perform pretty well until you are ready to upgrade to a Makita, Festool, Milwaukee etc once your skills improve....
Have you ever asked the question as to why so many Track or Circular Saws are Left Handed ? Watching you in this video highlights the problem. It makes no sense to me and I was wondering if you had a logical reason for this.

Hello Peter, do you know if the Einhell twin strip guide rail is compatible with the Dewalt system?
No, both are completely proprietary, afaik. 👍
One of the things I love about the McAlester saw is the easy flip switch to cut a shallow scribe line before cutting full depth. Useful for cleaner cuts with cross cutting. Which of these newer budget saws has this facility?
None of the Einhell / Parkside pattern saws offer a scoring cut setting, though can just set the saw to a 3mm cut if it’s something you need. 👍
Highly Informative as usual Peter 🙌
Cheers Rob
Thanks Rob! 👍
What's the best saw for drust extraction between makita ( looking at the xgt , as I'm on the platform already) and festool / mafel?
I'd say better on the Festool / Mafell, but not as much in it as there would be between the Makita and one of these saws. 👍
@@10MinuteWorkshop thank you

Is there any advantage of paying for Festool track over the new Evolution if m using my 2 year old PARKSIDE ?
Ken from Southport UK
Honestly, no, the Evo G2 rails will get you the fu; package for the price of a single Festool rail. 👍
And the Evo G1 rails are also fine. Been using those and parkside for years now
Still have my Titan, probably about time I changed the blade🤣 - I'd like a longer track for it though.
Solid saw! 👍
Hi Peter, what about blades, stick with stock or change??
As ever, the stock 48t seem pretty good, but I’d upgrade from the 24t if I was doing more finished cabinet work. 👍
I upgraded to Freud blade to get best cuts on melamine MFC, will use stock Makita blade for other materials.
Do any of these work with the DeWalt guide rails?

sheppach pl55 has riving knife and performs ok... joining bars on the track are garbage, sticks every time you make a cut... will have to stump up the £70 for a long single rail if you want to cut sheet goods
As per the description, I've deliberately not included the Sheppach saws here because of the crazy design choices which make them unusable on any other rails. 🤷♂️
DIY guide rail.??? With splinter guards both sides of the blade.!!???
Not both side, no.
amazing how the rail brand doesnt match the same brand saw 🤷🏼♀️
If you put a proper blade on most of the saws they should do perform pretty well until you are ready to upgrade to a Makita, Festool, Milwaukee etc once your skills improve....
The 48t blades were pretty good, the 24t were what you'd expect from a 24t blade. 👍
@10MinuteWorkshop 24T blade would cut through plywood pretty well on the low budget options. Thank you for another great vid Pete!
Stay on track !
Dad joke at its finest
I do try! 😂 👍
Have you ever asked the question as to why so many Track or Circular Saws are Left Handed ?
Watching you in this video highlights the problem.
It makes no sense to me and I was wondering if you had a logical reason for this.
