Dewalt Track Saw, Funny Stuff

Think he'd use the table saw for that to?

I have a 6 foot piece of aluminum that came from a sliding door bottom and 2 clamps. Figure 1-1/.2" for the setoff to the blade, mark, clamp, cut!

And figure something else for a 45 bevel and something else for a 22.5 and something else for a 33..................

These types of saws cut on the mark no matter what tilt you have on the saw. Truly a great investment if you have minimal tolerances with your cuts.

Anyone know what the price is?

499.00 dewalt, 475.00 festool

Don't laugh I've done that with a table saw WAY too often. But It was always a MUCH smaller piece, say like 3'x3', and besides if you have an actual catch table, instead of a buddy, it's not that hard.

That's what it appears to be to me. I'm not a carpenter but I am DIY'er when it comes to woodworking. Building shelves, CD display cases, crap like that. When I need to cut a large piece of plywood I do it the way I saw Tom Silva do it a hundred times.

I think I like the TrackSaw.

I've free-handed pieces on a table saw, but the pieces were much smaller. With a piece that size, it would be easier and a better cut to freehand with a worm drive. If quality of the cut is really important, use a straight edge. I guess it goes to show that Dewalt doesn't understand what tool their new saw replaces. A better comparison would be to compare the time to cut an angled cut like that with a track saw, verse measuring the offset, setting a straight edge to that, and then cutting with a circ-saw.

did anyone watch the video on trimming interior doors?

chris klee

yeah. dont know that i would ever cut a door in place like that.

javatom

hgtv should start a show that follows guys like that. It would be funnier than hell. Everything done wrong with the camera rolling. Now that is a show I would watch.

At least they had the gaurd in place on the saw. Can't remember the last time I seen a table saw used with the blade gaurd.

They had a show like that once - I think it was called "Repair to Remember"...It was a DIY instructional type show targeted towards women and hosted by this ditzy chick that had absolutely no idea what she was doing (or was one of the best actors I've ever seen)...I always figured she was a daughter/sister/wife of one of the TV execs...

That clip with the pair on the table saw is so dammed insulting to the carpentry trade, what the hell were those bosos at Dewalt thinking

I swear if I ever cought a pair of loons doing something like that at any of my jobs I'd slap them silly.

I'm sticking with festool, at least thet know how to make acceptable videos and their saw cost less.

My father and two uncles were all builders and my summers between semesters many years ago were spent working for remodelers so I learned to take orders and get things done quick with no b*tching. If I had a buck for every time I saw something like that on a job site... well, I could afford several of those Feins!

Leo G

That is a scary thought.
