New Dewalt Track Saw
Anyone seen or tried the new Dewalt Track Saw yet? Looks like they got a good idea from Festool.
http://www.dewalt.com/us/tracksaw/ Looks like they have a corded version and cordless version with a 28 volt lithium ion battery.

Re: New Dewalt Track Saw
All I have to say is that is cost more that Festool's TS-55, looks kinda cheap, and it is missing all the accessories that put Festool years ahead of the catch up crew. The Makita rail saw interests me more than a yellow boat anchor. It is due out for sale on the 15th.

Re: New Dewalt Track Saw
I got them from FOG (Festool owners group) there was a big write up on the saw versus a TS-55. Dont get me wrong, it is cool to see other companies coming out with these products, however Festool launched their plunge cut rail saw in 1964. I think both the Mac and the dewalt will be priced close, the Mac dosen't have a riving knife though. I do belive that is a very important feature of a saw like this.
The thing that concerns me is, will Dewalt have their own system as well or are you hooking that thing to a regular shop vac with a regular hose? The Anti-static hoses are increadible!! The one neat thing about the Dewalt saw is that it will not let it come backwards on the rail, as to prevent kickback, allthough the Festools employ some crazy clutches for that reason. And why would you cut a door off standing upright like that? Last edited by WarnerConstInc.; 11-01-2008 at 08:06 PM. |

Re: New Dewalt Track Saw
most places have the dewalt saw available for preorder. I think acetool has it on the site. The guy at my tool supply said dewalt has had the track saw out in europe for some time now, under a different line or something like that.
