Excellent video, answers a lot of my questions. I've definitely got to get one of these saws. I actually had a dream last night that I bought exactly this saw and loved it, then your video appeared today. I have no choice...😊

I go way back to the mid 80’s during college working in a cabinet shop up in North Ga. We were setting jobs when the Atlanta suburbs were staring to boom. Table saw was king back in the day (along with the radial arm saw LOL). I’ve had a track saw system for a skill circular saw in my basement shop for 20 years. I broke down and bought the Milwaukee track saw kit recently and wow what a tool. I love it!

I am leaning towards buying a track saw instead of a table saw for safety reasons, and this video has reinforced my buying decision.

On the HK saws how tight should the lateral tolerance be? Because the track needs to return smoothly but if it’s too loose it chews up the splinter guard

@sedgetool

6 ай бұрын

I just put a very loose tolerance so it does not have slop and still slides back smooth... I think that might be a good video ..Thanks Matt !!!!

Thanks for the video and tips! I am about to buy a track saw (still hesitating between TS55 & TSC55 though). I still have a quick question regarding the bevel cuts (I have to do 45 degrees cuts in the near future): Do you always trust the setting of the saw or do you verify the angle before the cut, with a digital protractor on the blade for instance? Is the scale on the saw trustful enough for good accuracy with assemblies?

@sedgetool

3 ай бұрын

I trust the scale...20 years ago when I bought my first track saw I always would use gauge blocks to check the angle...now I trust the scale ... never has failed me... I use a TS60 at home now ...

Great tips Sedge!👍 You gotta have a shawp blade to cut hodwood lumba. 🤣

Sedg I have a 18 volt track saw have put a new blade it is the thinner blade and cut great not a problem going near edge of material but other cuts not good as riving knife won't follow. Andy in UK

I use the Festool trac saw for all the hard wood lumber I mill, and the best sequence is to join one wide face and then rip a straight edge because that’s how you square it and true it at the same time 😅

Looking for a tip. I seem to find my cuts are not a perfect 90 if my board is not at least as wide as the rail. Sometimes I put a board of similar thickness under the rail but this isn't always possible. Any help appreciated. (love the tips in this video)

@sedgetool

3 ай бұрын

The only thing I can think of is putting similar thickness boards under the rail...sorry .....

Great Tips. Sometimes half way through the cut the saw becomes harder to push as if there is an obstacle. I stop, go back few cm and start again and it goes very smoothly again! Never been able to know why.. any idea? Am I doing anything wrong?

@sedgetool

6 ай бұрын

When this happens to me over the years I have switched to the 28 tooth universal blade ....... hope this helps

I have noticed that my track cuts a slight bend in the cut when I join to tracks together and they are touching. I solved this by leaving a slight 1mm gap between the tracks. I think the short sides of the tracks butted together can cause a kink when they are tightened.

Can you talk about your dust extraction set up? It looks like you have the workstation and the dust separator but what are those drawer looking things at the bottom.

@sedgetool

My dust extractor is an old CT55 with the CT cyclone and WCR 1000 Work Center ...the drawers on the CT55 and are actually doors and provide some storage options...The CT 55 has long ago been discontinued ... it was the big brother to the CT22 and CT33 ... it still works awesome !!!

Setting the depth was something I’ve always struggled with. I mean… I get it. But I’ve never seen the zero out thing. That would be much quicker.

So here's a question. Why do Festool and Makita have their short tracks at 1400 instead of 1500? This leaves only 90mm overhang both ends when cutting a 1220 sheet.

@sedgetool

there is enough forward and aft to crosscut a sheet of ply with the 1400mm Rail

Thanks for your answer. I may as well throw another question at you. Are there any down sides to using Makita tracks with Festool saws? They are half the price here in NZ.

From Canada, question that has not been adressed: how to adjust the speed dial of the saw?
