Festool, DeWalt, or Makita?
I've been using a shop-made, 9 foot long, guide to cut plywood, etc.
It's just a 1x4 screwed to 1/2 inch Baltic Birch ply. The edge of the 1X4 has acquired a slight groove where the foot of the circular saw runs against it. I remember the job it was making the guide and getting it absolutely straight. I'm not particularly interested in doing it again. I'm pondering the purchase of a Plunge/"track" saw. But I see descriptions of "anti splinter" strips, glide strips, high friction strips and other "add-ons" or replacements. Do I really need all that extra crap. I'm almost tempted to buy just the "track" and use the same saw (Milwaukee *left* blade) I've been using but I thought the plunge ability and other advantages would be worth the money. Some input would be appreciated. Thanks, Max |
