It must be a brand new product. But it does have a couple nice features. I like the fact that you can buy ordinary circular saw blades for it. And how do you like that nifty dust collection system? LOL Actually for me, it would be just fine. If you are working outside and don't use it that much, it should be just fine. I wonder how the pricing will be. It is going to be one price everywhere or will some folks discount it? |

Yeah, the good blade is kinda the point with a track saw, otherwise just use a straight edge to guide your old stand by circular saw. |

That of course, is why you buy FT. On the other hand, if you are breaking down product for later cutting or easier handling at the table saw, you could keep track of the waste side pretty easily. Since the comparable FT system is about 3 times as much, price and specific use would certainly be a factor in purchasing for me. After seeing the cuts Karl made with his FT arrangement, in all complete honesty, I wouldn't have trouble building cabinets with that system, using that track saw for my final cuts. That being said, Mike you should try the line of Freud Diablo circular saw blades. Most tearout from using a circular saw comes from the saw not being parallel to the cut, whether the saw and the shoe are not parallel to each other, or someone is trying to freehand a cut. I bought a Freud blade for my circular saw and used it with my new (at that time) Makita saw with a clamped guide when making a quick fixture for a client. NO tear out, no chipping, and no saw marks on the plywood! No one was more astonished than me. I have used that setup and that blade from them several times since, and those red blades are the real stuff. I haven't bought anything for wood work but those blades for the last several years. Before I sent the Triton back I would put one of those Freud blades in the machine to see how it did. Robert |
