I *am* thinking about the contractor version of the track saw.
There have been quite a few time in this past year when I really
could've used one.


Working during the day, there is no way I could respond fast enough to any post to make a two minute window or received/responded. I can't do that when people tell me my check is ready!

Out of all the Festool equipment I have looked at and handled, the track saw is the only piece I nearly bought on. I went to see Karl and Leon one year and Karl ripped a piece of plywood for me so he could show me the quality of cut. I was actually astonished. He and Leon had just finished a kitchen build out and apparently used the track saw to break down the sheet goods before final sizing at the table saw.

You could easily use the end results from the track saw to build cabinets. The whisper thin veneer didn't chip, their was NO sign of saw marks anywhere, and the open grain from the cut was very smooth. Ready for glue up!

MIKE, if you get one, make sure you get with Leon about the modification he and Karl have to done to their setup just to make the saw/track use easier and a bit better.
