How to use a Track Saw - Getting a perfect Cut

[@vru1012]

Most interest and intelligent channel I ever seen

[@jeffmorris6381]

I came across your channel this morning and have watched three videos thus far. All are excellent and highly valuable. I particularly appreciate the attention to detail you have placed regarding video quality. Very well done!

Awesome video. Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you! 🙏

Thank you for these tips. I am a relatively new Festool user. I am learning that there is way more to simply buying the tool, and using it out of the box. I have a request...? I was shocked at two things once I had my TS75. First: I would get a strong static shock when using it with my Rigid Shop Vac. 2nd: I was surprised at how much dust it through up in the air, considering it has dust collection, and cost nearly $1,000. Do you have any possible hacks or solutions for either of these issues? I finally spent the money for a CT Vac unit and antistatic hose. That reduced static shock, but way too expensive. I notice the cord of the machine is not grounded. I should never purchase a machine that has no ground in the cord like the Makita Belt Sander. Static there too. I installed the Splinter Guard, and this helped to reduce some of the dust coming from the front of the saw blade, and give me cleaner cuts also. Any comments regarding these points is much appreciated. Thank you again.

Thanks for watching!! For the static you can add a grounding wire to the outside of the Vac. For the dust collection, tape the view window on the saw face and set the blade to only cut a little below the thickness of the material. When cutting right on the edge where the blade is partially exposed will create more dust. Also make sure the vacuum filter is clean, the ridged clogs quickly!!

@Building Guru Would you do a review of the new cordless Bosch Mitre saw with their new 12Ah batteries? Model number is: GCM 18V-216 BITURBO

thanks. I have a Makita JP6000 on a track, but I cannot remove the sideways wobble/play/movement when the saw is mounted on the track. Hod do I remove the undesirable movement ?

All these years, and they still do not make track saws for right handed people. I miss being a lefty.

I’m glad you made this video but there’s one issue I’m having that was not covered. Izzy swan made a video on my Wen tracksaw touching on the topic and showing a fix for it, however I am completely new to woodworking and he did not go into enough detail, and from your videos I have been watching seems like you definitely would have. I even sent this guy like three messages asking for more clarification and he never responds. I have two 27 1/2 inch tracks that join together with a little metal bar with such screws in it that go behind the track saw. When you join the two tracks together they are not aligned, and it seems like the top is at a slight V. He put the track on a miter saw and shaved it but did not explain where to shave or how much and I am afraid to screw it up. I am thinking this relates to your video on is a square square, but would appreciate if you could shed some light on this for me, because my cuts obviously aren’t coming out straight. Thank you sir and stay safe!

Building Guru That would be awesome how can I send you that video

@@bobbycarmichael2562 Just saw this comment from you about Izzy Swan and his fix. Did you solve the issue already? My suggestion is to shave about a 32 or two from the connecting bottom corners of the track connection using any woodworking tool. You can even use a file to keep filing away, trial and error, until you create the perfect connection. Aluminum is easy to cut and manipulate with woodworking tools. I hope this helps.

@@neilf4128 I will try that man thank you!! And no I gave up and spent even more money on a Kreg ACS LOL

[@neilf4128]

@@bobbycarmichael2562 Haha. I am totally with you on that one. It's been my experience that when I try to save a few hundred bucks, unless I really invest myself in a DIY solution, I am almost always better off just buying a product that already solves the issue so I can get back to work faster.

Thank for the tutorial video. I appreciate you are trying to speak slowly and clearly. May be speak in a normal tone like in a conversation. You come off like talking to a room full of kids. :)
