5 Tools You Didn't Know You Needed Until Now Part 4

[@fredtew4162]

I am a disabled american and ❤ wood working would love a track saw but not enough money would love that saw I know you help other woodworkers love your channel pl tr ease keep up those videos

[@jeffcreighton]

I'm sure you get alot of messages from people saying how you inspire them. This is mostly the same. I am or was a Police Officer for Memphis. I was injured and then retired. Your videos provide me with the needed motivation. I had built furniture from time to time with wood. Anyway I really enjoy your videos a d the items you build. I have had to learn how to do everything again. That includes walking, talking, pretty much everything. I've just been wanting to tell ya how your videos provide me with motivation to keep driving. THANK YOU.

[@731Woodworks]

Thank you for sharing Jeff! I am glad the videos helped!

[@officialtree5245]

I do woodworking sometimes, and since i started recently im just using my dad's skil saw for things a table saw cant do, and it works just as well as a track saw, with no fraying. I think that a track saw is better than a circular saw to buy, but if u have a circular saw, just use it with a wooden track.

[@doncripemc3certifiedsr.med326]

Agree. I would like to see more content for woodworking hobbiests. That wouldn't make us feel so inadequate.

[@danielboguse4249]

I've made battery holders for all my extra batteries. I have one in the garage, one in the basement and one next to the charger for batteries waiting to get charged. I also made one with a handle to carry the extra batteries when I get mobile. Once I got all the dimensions of the brackets I made extras and a spacer so I can make more when needed or for friends who can use one.

I have several woodpecker measuring devices which have many small holes in them for doing layouts. I have not yet found a marking pencil that fits in the holes for marking . Does the Pica pencil work

[@RichardBronosky]

I want the Kregg tracksaw, but they elected to use a proprietary track. I'm considering the Wen, but I really like that the Kregg travels the opposite direction of all the other brands.

[@pteddie6965]

I'm with you on the turn off switch for the dust collection. I only have one on the Dust Deputy for my table saw, but I absolutely love it. In today's video, I especially liked the Woodpecker's ruler and the sanding pad. Thanks for sharing them with us.

[@kyleolson8977]

I replaced the Kreg Track Saw some time back and I'm pretty happy that I did. I donated it to a family member. It's better than nothing, but it's not nearly as good as some others I have or have used, like the Makita or Festool. As soon as I touched a better Track Saw I realized that the Kreg was not good enough. I can't remember all the little things I didn't like, but one example would be the depth setting system which doesn't make it easy to make gradual changes in the cut depth. When you consider the accessory compatibility, with track squares being very important, it's much better in the long run to get any of the saws that can run on the Festool/Makita tracks.

[@jimmeeks2632]

Track saw works great for edge jointing boards for table tops. Been a game changer for me

[@bartfoster1311]

I have the 36v Makita tracksaw and it a real game changer. Once you have a track saw it is hard to go back to ripping with a regular circ saw.

[@paulhopkins1905]

Rip with a table saw, cross cut with the track saw

[@davidbodry1256]

@@paulhopkins1905 yeah u could do it that way but sometimes you don't have a complete shop with table saw and catch table, I do commercial millwork installs and that Makita has saved me on rips as long as 9 feet on African mahogany panels. No wobble, variable speed on miter cut to keep from fraying. I have used them all, Makita for the price is just as good as a top rail panel saw. Would be nice to see a comparison tho

I’m getting this track saw for Christmas. Would love an in-depth review of the Kreg Track saw.

[@Damon_Barber]

That power switch for the shop vac is pretty cool. I would recommend setting the delay a little longer just because when both motors start almost simultaneously, you’re putting their Full Load Current on the breaker at the same time. While you may not trip the breaker, this has potential to add extra wear on the breaker.

[@Luke-qc1rm]

Only wear is possibly on the motors, if they’re unable to get the full starting amperage. Breaker doesn’t care

[@johnjss]

I really enjoy your videos! but... $54 for the Paolini Pocket Ruler is a long way off. I have various rulers, squares, and speed squares. All of which, collectively cost less than $54. I like the idea but it won't revolutionize my shop or take the place of all others.

[@A6Legit]

Kreg rip cut is on my Christmas list. I like the track saw/accu-cut since im not buying another saw, but Im not sure how I feel about the no clamp "grip". I hate having a loose saw guide, I can't imagine trying to do it with basically a friction grip only.

[@sandiegodan]

It’s a valid concern and I usually clamp both ends of my track. However, there is a bunch of surface area on the friction strips to help them stay put. I plan to make sure I brush off the piece being cut and the friction strips and start to learn to trust them. On a side note, I’ve also used the track as a circle cutter with a router base attached to it. In that situation I had to use painters tape over the friction strips to allow them to slide.

[@A6Legit]

@@sandiegodan Thanks for the feedback. I think I would clamp them as well but it kind of defeats the purpose of how quick it is not needing clamps. Is it meant to accept a router base? I made a circle jig for my router but thats an interesting use.

[@sandiegodan]

@@A6Legit I have the Dewalt track saw and they sell a router attachment that works with their track. It’s a little sketchy to hold everything in place but it has a great range and adjustability. I needed to make a 40” Dia and 30” circle for a tool carousel and the track seemed like my best option.

One good feature of the keg is that the blade is in the left, so if you're right handed you can see what's going on. Most of the rest are the other way round which is bonkers (IMHO)

I would like to see a review, comparing the Kreg version with other brands? Kreg is okay in most cases, but some of their tools and jigs use too much plastic, and not enough use of metal parts.

[@russmartin4189]

My middle name is KREG. I own the entire Kreg Adaptive Cutting System. I also own two extra tracks that I keep joined together for breaking down plywood. AND I own both sets of stops that I can preset to a certain width, so I can make certain width cuts without having to measure.. NOTE: Cut your plywood about a quarter inch wider than necessary, then cut to size on the table saw. All in all, the Kreg Plunge Saw and Track is a great tool, that is a bargain compared to others. Kreg, if you are listening, I would like you to make an arm that attaches to the track so I can line it up square on the edge of plywood every time.

I believe you are asking for what they call a parallel jig, which is currently available from several manufacturers

[@FenierH]

I quite like the Kreg Track Saw, when combined with the rest of the Adaptive Cutting System (or similar) it does a fantastic job for ensuring repeatable cuts. Def a good option if you can't afford the Festool Saw and Multi-Function Table. Would love to hear your thoughts on the saw. I ended up with one after I was trying to square up a oversized table top that wouldn't fit safely on my jobsite saw.

[@SteveinJersey1234]

I'll add my Plus 1 to this. I have been using the Kreg track saw and ACS table for several years now and it is without doubt my best investment. Fantastic versatility and accuracy. In my experience the built in measuring rules and stop blocks in the ACS make the Kreg system WAY easier and more straightforward to use than a Festool or any other 20mm MFT alternative. When I got into woodworking several years ago I made a very deliberate decision to invest in a track saw / MFT system over a table saw, both for space and for safety reasons. Several years later, I couldn't be happier with this decision as the ACS (along with a small router table) have completely obviated my need for a table saw for the applications I have. And frankly I believe it's more accurate.

I'm interested in the pros and cons and an over all different between the track and circular saw. Would love to see a review in it

[@MaxG628]

My take: if you cut sheet goods larger than 2’x4’ more than once a month, get a track saw. If you only deal with large sheets a few times a year, get a cordless circular saw and the Kreg Accu-Cut.

[@BillCoale]

Me too! The track systems for circ saws are so much cheaper (especially if you already have a quality circ). I saw a brief overview comparison a while back that boiled it down to the 2 biggest differences: track saws have the plunge cut features and they can hook in to dust extractors. But I'd love to see a more detailed comparison.

[@goali3903]

Nice video Matt. I’d love to see a budget tracksaw comparison. Kreg/Wen/I’m sure I’m missing some of the other cheaper ones. Maybe even including circular saw and straight edge.
