I cannot begin say enough about a track saw- If you have the budget and do work that requires a perfect cut or an imperfect cut done perfectly- you want this tool.

You don’t have to be great with the saw you just have to put the track where you want it- Doing something like cutting a $5000 dollar door is a lot less stressful especially when it needs to have a 2° back miter to prevent hinge bind or the jambs out of plumb and the cut needs to also taper- Or if it’s simply just needs to be cut perfectly straight as most doors do-this is my go to tool.

I could go on and on- but I just have been amazed at all the things that being able to bring a perfectly straight cut into the jobsite does. You can do things that you can’t do with the table saw or panel saw or any other tool, at least not as well and easily.

If you are a pro you will love it, and if you are an amateur, you will love it-

I have 4, 2 by Festool and 2 Makita (one corded and cordless in each brand) - I can’t imagine my work without these.
