ChrisK Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 Awesome, I hope it does, it would save people money in the long run for mixing tools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jronman Posted July 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 @regopit @ChrisK Heres Proof the N.A. version works with Festool track. I also found out in Robs video that the base is magnesium. Rob said he would rather use Festool track with this saw over the DeWALT. Another thing to note is the motor is the same motor as the 575 flex circular saw. I'm guessing it will be no slouch when it comes to power. Also supposedly 90% dust collect when connected to a vac. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't be a slouch dude, I've got the 575, the thing is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Framer joe Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 Ya I see the Dewalts levers forward ,not like a plunge cut....the whole idea is weird to me ,we use a short track for cutting framing but it is not even close for speed but superior in cut quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you want cut off the bottom of a door or even the side to fit in an opening? It's a perfect cut if your measuring skills are up to the task. Once you have made the first cut with it the rubber strip shows you exactly where the cut is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Framer joe Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 I hear ya @Grumpy MSG it is a beautiful straight cut, just never used one ,ever, till recently....actually it's @ChrisKand others that convinced me to get the boss to get a track saw...he got Festool.....it's still just very different for me to use ...very strange feel in my hand vers my reg circ saw ( flex or corded) .......been using a circ saw everyday for over 30 yrs ,,...im like the guy carving a bear out of a log with a chainsaw....but with a circ saw...just feels natural, like an extension of my arm... .....but I am trying to use it everyday,to get better at it...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mordekyle Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 I almost picked one of these up when CPO tools had a 10% off sale.Unfortunately, they charge $50 extra for shipping the track.If anyone is considering buying one, you might buy the tool from Acme or CPO, but buy the track from Home Depot online- they offer free shipping.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jronman Posted August 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 my shipping from cpo was free if I'm not mistaken. Also the rails were a lot cheaper from cpo than acme. I think home depot was similarly priced to acme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
