Dewalt Track Saw, Funny Stuff

I just clicked on it, looks like a decent saw, for a laugh, click on APPLICATIONS, then click on TRACK SAW VS TABLE SAW. I am sure you all use a table saw like this, and would never just put the plywood on your table, and use your circ saw. THESE GUYS ARE FUNNY. G

Don't those guys have a show on DIY?

looks like an expensive replacement for a 2x4 and some clamps.

Watched that last night and enjoyed watching those two humping that piece of plywood as well. I understand the theory behind the Tracksaw, but not sold on it yet. Kind of the same as clamping the 'ole straight edge on and running beside it eh?

That is insulting to me as a contractor. They should re think that clip

Just a Festool rip off, they want just as much as it would cost to buy the real deal.

Jason Whipple

Not at all, actually. These types of saws can save you a **** load of time.

What morons! I have actually saw people doing that before

The Festool is $20 cheaper. And they have one that has an 8 1/2" blade for more depth capacity.

I got to use the Festool a couple of kitchen jobs ago. Very nice tool. Then the guy with the Festool borrows my table saw to make a bunch of 1/8 shims. I would say I can live without the Festool, as nice as it is before I gave up my portable tablesaw.
But what I don't get is, why are you guys laughing at the table saw guys, they are wearing safety glasses.

What you guys dont use your table saw like that? I thought that was common practice Im sure his cut was perfect

KentWhitten

well that was good amusement! thank you gene for that one! I'm trying to think if I've ever seen anyone actually do that......nope....can't think of any time.

john5mt

did you see those fat suckers. Id like to see the guy holding the sheet climb on trusses and trim rafter tails.

Looked like a sheet of CDX to me.....what ever happened to snapping a line? I can see in cabinet repair, or some of Leo's work, but most of the time there is going to be a moulding to cover it. Kind of a specialized tool that I would want to have a job or 2 lined up in order to pay for it

I was thinking about getting something of this nature, the Festool looks to be a better machine, just by namesake. I don't have a panel saw in my shop and when I need to cut plywood for a tall cabinet I resort to a straight edge and circular saw. I have to take special precautions to make the cuts as chip free as possible. Cut the ply with the good side facing down, put masking tape on the cut to help with chip out. go real slow and then just a lot of hope. A buddy of mine had the Festool and brought it to my shop one time. Nice machine. You didn't have to clamp down the track and it made a very clean cut. It would be nice to have, but I would rather have a nice panel saw. What the heck, a good one is only around $15K

I wonder who gave Dewalt permission to use that video of me and my brother

See those wheels on our saw base? When the job's over and my pickup is full of drop off, just hitch it up to the bumper and away we go

Jason Whipple

I bet you'd like the TS55 way better than the panel saw. Once you get it, you'll wonder why you waited so long. You could get the longer rail, the CT dust collector, extra hose, rail accessory kit, and be able to keep $13k in your pocket.





That would buy a lot of beer!

I think Jason is hooked!!

I second all you said though, except I would skip the rail kit and just get a couple of mft/3's
