how would you cut a 45 for a mitered edge trim? Same way you cut for the waterfall? I guess there are two ways, lay the piece flat and tilt the saw, or stand the piece up (as it's a small width) and 45 the fence? (For the record, I gave up on the accuracy of my table saw, and transitioning to my tracksaw 100%)

Make sure you keep your palm down on the base as you are ripping 45 bevels for waterfalls....

Love the video! I grew up on job sites following my dad around as I grew from a toddler to late teen. He was a master carpenter. I mastered the circ at an early age, but I was always cautious of the table saw. Though I have used one for years, I have always hated ripping and sectioning plywood with the table saw, especially solo. So much can go wrong moving the panels over a stationary blade. For safety reasons alone, I can justify the track saw. It’s a lot of money, but my fingers are irreplaceable.

Another great video Sedge. My wife is increasingly getting frustrated with your channel as I keep buying all the tools you review and demonstrate on here. Case in point, I just went out and bought the track saw, and then there was the Domino a few weeks before that, and so on etc.. 😀. Keep up the great work. (watching from Sydney Australia)

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
@sedgetool8 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 !!!!

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.

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 !!!

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?
@sedgetool6 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 ...

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 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.

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.
@sedgetool6 ай бұрын
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.
