Matt, when I first got into woodworking I made a 14’ conference table out of Cottonwood. I bought the Triton track saw to cut the boards to glue up. On the first cut I made the saw starting smoking about halfway thru the 14’ cut. I took it back to Rockler, went and bought a Festool track saw at Woodcraft and it sang thru the cuts. The Triton couldn’t cut the 1 3/4” cottonwood, but the Festool cut it like butter. I’m sticking to Festool and will cry just once😁

I have the Kreg ACS and have never had a problem making perfectly square cuts, since you mentioned it as one of the saws in the Triton price range.

I've had my Triton for approximately 3 to 4 years, and it has worked well for me.

Triton is the most underrated brand available in the U.S. Have a Triton router that lives in the router table and it has been great!

Great video as always Matt. I found the base looking like the WEN to be interesting.

This is a Wen corded track saw in a different color scheme. Save money and buy the Wen 7 1/4 corded track saw, better saw cheaper and 15 amps. Blades available locally at box stores. Currently running a 60 tooth Diablo on mine.

I got 110" Wen track for $65 and 2 track clamps for $15. $260 and I had everything. The saw is awesome too. Works great plenty of power. I don't do bevel cuts with it, so the points of flex don't matter. The track is straight. Highly recommend it.

@@Sly_Wolf_1 I had you right the first time, you didn't pick on Matt. Clearly we both appreciate Matt and his reviews, probably more useful than just watching build videos 🤷‍♂️ cool chatting with you

I bought this saw about 2 or 3 months ago, and I like it very much, and for the same reasons you like it. There are two issues I have with it that, you didn't mention in this video. The first of these issues is that they also make a 7 1/2 inch version of this saw that has a slightly more powerful motor than this saw has, HOWEVER, it's not available here in the USA. Shipping on the 7 1/2 version makes it cost prohibitive, and you'd have to immediately void the warranty by cutting the UK plug off and replacing it. Between the cost of the 7 1/2 inch saw plus shipping, I could buy the RIDGID saw. Yes, you can find adapters fairly inexpensively, but when it comes to power tools, that's where I draw the line. The Second (two part) issue I have with this saw is the blade and the oddball size of it. The blade is 6 1/2 inches, which is pretty standard, BUT, the saw has a 20mm arbor. I have been completely unable to find the same size blade that this saw came with. I did find a 6 inch blade that fits onto a 20mm arbor, but with it, I'm sacrificing 1/4 of an inch in cut depth, which also means that I have to adjust the depth of cut while factoring in that difference. I suppose I could look for a 6 1/2 inch blade that requires an arbor larger than 20mm, and get an arbor adapter/shim to make it fit the saw, but I haven't really looked into those adapters, and know very little about them. The other half of the blade issue is that, the included blade is a bit too wide, and it grinds against the base of the saw, and probably will continue to do so until the blade trims the base to fit. I think Triton could have very easily included a better fitting blade, not only width-wise, but also uses a 5/8 inch arbor, and without effecting the price. Given the shortcomings that this saw has, on a scale of 1-10, I give this saw a 7. GREAT VIDEO MATT!!!!!!!!

I was in Menards this week and walked through to see what or even if they had a Track Saw. They have a Masterforce Track saw. I was wondering if you be doing a review on it some time?

I enjoy the depth you go into when reviewing these tools. I had a thought while watching this one. You mentioned on these cheaper track saws the plastic parts tend to lend themselves to more deflection. Are any of them parts that you could possibly replace with an off the shelf metal version (like if its a plastic wing nut replace with a metal one of the same size) or is it usually the housings that are the issue? Also, are any of the questionable parts something that could potentially be 3d printed with maybe a slightly stronger material or lower tolerance and correct some of that?

Great video. I been looking for a good budget track saw and I think I have watched every track saw video you have. All the plastic on the wen scared me.

I’ve had my triton track saw for some time now and I’m happy with it. Maybe 5 years? Dust collection will improve significantly if you find a way to cover the the hole on the guard plate like a piece of tape 😅

I have a Dewalt cordless tracksaw. I like it a lot but would probably go with the makida or milwaukee if I were to do it over. The funny thing is, I really don't need a tracksaw to be cordless and would probably prefer a corded saw. My reasoning is that I always use a dust extractor anyway so plugging the saw in doesn't cost any more effort. I think there has been 2 times in the years I've had it, where the fact that the saw was cordless came in handy.

Excellent, helpful review, Matt. This is VERY similar to the WEN CT1274 corded 12 amp track saw, which is head & shoulders better than its little sibling for not many more dollars. I keep hoping you'll review that. Also, you can get a track saw hole cover for most any saw from WittWorks, which will markedly improve dust collection.

Glad it was helpful!

Nice review. As for the dust collection would there be any gain is suction if the front plate window had a piece of tape over it? I assume most of the suction is lost to that window and not allow air to pull from the bottom like other model designs

Hey Matt, Have you done a review of the makita track saw? also could you do a review of the Bosch track saw? I have often considered the Bosch track saw because it received good reviews on amazon and it has a lot of features.

As a right handed person, I don’t understand why more woodworkers aren’t complaining about the lack of left side blade saws… I hate hate hate looking over the saw, or using my left hand, to see where the blade is using a right hand blade saw. For that reason alone, I own and love the kreg that I bought a few months ago. No riving knife is a deal breaker.

I have the big Triton Router and it is great. Based on that, I second your recommendation, but I alrady have the Kreg "plunge saw" which I bought in 2019 and was the best bang for the buck at the time, especially with all the accessories that went with it, which I also have. One question I have about the Triton though is, can you slide the saw backward after making a cut, or does that kickback thing prevent that. If it does, turning it off each time is probably going to wear it out. If it will, I would go for one with a riving knife. Second thought. There are a lot of plastic knobs on it. Simple is better, in my opinion.

Overall this was a good review of the triton all though i would suggest putting a piece of tape over the window for the blade as this does improve dust collection much more, like you said the dust collection is better on the milwaukee is better but they provide a cap to cover the window for the blade, what puts me off milwaukee is the repairability.

How well will the Milwaukee fit the Triton tracks? Not overly impressed with my Triton and I do think having the Triton as well as the Milwaukee will up my game. Also when I put the Freud blade on the Triton it was a significant upgrade. Thanks for all you do.

"I like seeing that, 'cause not all saws have that... Festool..." Best laugh I've had in quite a while! 🤣🤣🤣

@Pakhan77 0 seconds ago Thanks for the video and love your channel! I think if you want to compare this Triton to the Wen I think you need to compare it to the Wen corded for $100. You did a video on the corded Wen 2 years ago, and if they are similar enough why pay 2x more for the Triton. I have the corded Wen (based on your video) and just recently bought the Milwaukee for $350 on sale (since I already have the Wen tracks and Milwaukee batteries). If you want budget, you should pay $100. If not go directly to $350-$399 list for the Milwaukee (if you already have Milwaukee batteries). I believe there is no reason to go in between at $220 or so for Triton or any other with proprietary tracks. That's my 2 cents.

I would not be surprised to see Triton making some of these changes. It seems the good tool companies are paying attention to what people are saying on social media.

I'd love to see a review on the Bosch track saw. Bob Vila has it as the best overall track saw in 2023

For checking tear-out on plywood, one should do a cross-cut against the grain, not a rip with the grain. Also, I think you have "right-hand" and "left hand" backwards - you're holding the Triton with your left hand on rips, and holding the Kreg with your right hand.

Great video. Can I just say that I don’t think you mean flexion, this relates to the movement in a joint or limb. Flexing might be the word you were looking for.

Have you done a video with the Makita track saw? I was looking and couldn't find it

Maybe put a piece of duct tape over the arbor window and see if the dust collection improves. I noticed the Milwaukee has a built in cover. Thanks for all of your reviews and positive inspiration! Hope you and your family had a wonderful and Blessed Good Friday and Easter.

This Triton saw basically looks like an upgrade of the WEN. Looks like a good upgrade.

Hey Matt, I am currently wanting to get a track saw within a budget it. I was hoping to stay within the 300-500 range. Mostly to cut mdf sheets and some occasional hardwoods. Can you please tell me what you recommend? Kreg, Triton, makita

I’d go with the Makita out of those 3

I was sold on the Ridgid saw until I heard that it uses an oddball track. If I go premium I will probably go with DeWalt because even though it's not the greatest of the premium ones I already have 60 volt batteries. I was able to find some Powertec track to go with it.

Dust collection might improve with an arbor cover. I know Wittworks has them for Triton.

Looks like a great tool, for the best under 500. I would like to hear your thoughts on the Makita one more. I just notice in the woodworking/shop groups Im in people seem to really praise that saw. I know there is fanboyisms out there, but just noticable when some body asks which track saw, makita gets alot of votes and almost no compaining

I bought the green machine first, Not happy with it at all, overrated. Gave it away and bought a Makita, still using it on a regular basis. Bought the Kreg because it was a right handed saw. Love it and use it on a regular basis also. Never had any problems with the Makita and the Kreg. The green machine, will never own anything made by them again. I have a friend that bought the Triton and loves it. Good review and thanks for sharing.

Well I'm that small% that will have to stick to my cordless TSC55 Festool tracksaw..still haven't cried in almost 3 years 🙂

"Its not that bad... Or good..". I like that

Four years ago I was given a broken Makita circular saw. I removed the broken blade guard and made it into a dedicated track saw. I built a single 65" track for it. I used it quite a bit and even took it to jobs with me. Later I bought a real track saw. That was the biggest mistake. There really is only one real advantage the real one has, that's plunge cutting. The pain in the butt the thing puts me through to use it, isn't worth my time. My homemade tracksaw does exactly what I built it for. That's much more than I can say for these tools. My homemade one cuts straighter and truer with less tool marks and waaaay less setup time.

Well, by looking at the room, you're probably not going to get a response, at least a good one here. Luckily, I happened to be steered to this video. Do you have dust extraction? If so, get a corded saw. I've had a track saw for a while now and I use it now than my table saw now, of course I'm probably considered a power user, even if you count the guy who uploaded the video. Once you have a track saw, and actually use it with some kind of frequency, you'll find yourself seeing it as a problem solver in a lot of applications. I make cuts that are impossible or sometimes dangerous with any other kind of saw. The key is, having multiple lengths of rails and a way to attach rails to each other at times. I'm not in the ridgid universe, so I can't speak on their saw, but if it were me, I'd save up a little more and get a good corded saw. All this goes out the window if you don't see yourself actually using the saw and taking advantage of what a track saw can bring to the table.

Believe it or not, it's easier to design a motor-brake on a brushless motor than a brushed motor, such as a corded track saw. Brushed wear at a far greater rate if the power going to them is reversed every time you release the trigger until zero rpm is achieved. This is because brushes are kind of 'floating-contacts'. This is a simple explanation of what's happening in there. The easiest way to get a blade brake in a brushed motor tool is to attach it to the rotor shaft, which would, in turn increase the shafts weight, and reduce it's efficiency. Using a 'slow-start' on a brushed tool is a much to protect the tool and increase the service life of the brushes, and other components. But, it feels so better than a tool that jumps, or ramps when you 1st pull the trigger.

Now that you been able to review many tracksaws, it would be nice if you circled back to the Kreg and evaluate it again, as that 2yr. Old review seemed to come across as your first experience with a track saw. Let’s see if your evaluation would be different.

The Tritan and the Erbauer (UK store brand) are clones. Most people recommend putting duct tape over the side hole for a big improvement in dust collection.

This means I get a greater depth of cut and I can buy Diablo blades. Having said that, it's still in the box as I had to move and as of yet, set up a place to work. I don't get the enthusiasm for cordless track saws. If your using a dust extractor, you still have a hose to drag around,

To many saws use garbage plastic adjusters to keep it tight on the track

If this is a budget saw, I guess I won’t be getting a track saw anytime soon.

Hey Matt! Thank you for that great detailed review But I expect nothing less from a “Big Hat”. 😂 JK (SCPD Ret)

thanks!

Triton was considered elite at one time.. When they lost an engineer and the exclusive patent rights for the jawhorse, they seem to have gone a different direction...

Ever hear of Makita

18v cordless

I think I would still take the Wen corded track saw if I am going budget. It is only $100.

I've had enough wen tools to just say no, recently bought a wen plunge router, sitting flat on my table it wobbles cuz the plate on my wen router is not flat... it's pathetic. Just got a Triton plunge router in the mail as well and atleast that sits flat on my table. Besides that both are pretty well comparable but I give Trion the +1

Do not get the vevor, straight trash

Amazon says this saw was available since 2013

These reviews always make me sad when you mention the Milwaukee In the UK that Triton saw bare tool is £170 or £238 with 2x tracks and 2x clamps. The Milwaukee is £549 bare tool, or £799.99 with 2x 5.5ah batteries and no track.
