could try some 34 grit haha

I'm guessing demos of tool connect tools will be a thing then maybe we will see a lot of new vac stuff and more pluming and electrical stuff if the recent announcements of the cable stripper tool and pex tool are any hints.

well its almost august so almost event time.

DeWALT's would feel different again because it is more a push action instead of a pivot action so it would feel a bit different when using it vs say a Festool or Makita.

bought a spyder scraper blade for my recip saw. Used it to remove staples from the subfloor that were from carpet underlayment.

@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.

Actually it supposedly does. It puzzles me how the corded version doesn't and this one supposedly does. I'll try to find where I seen it could work with Festool track.

not only does it have a riving knife it has spring function on the knife similar to your festool. Hopefully I will be able to use it soon. I did a dry run once I figured out how to get it to run and starting seemed smooth. Not sure if its a soft start or not. I feel it was well worth the price I paid for it. Only thing that I wish it had was an offcut splinter guard.

wow this was unexpected and out of the blue from DeWALT. Guess they realize they need to start competing with Milwaukee. Looks cool. I wonder if it has tool connect functionality.

yeah alignment on rail. probably same function as your Festool or the new x2 Makita. also the third is to engage or disengage the anti kickback function.

thats a mighty fine flexvolt bucket you got there. How much more does it hold when you use a 9.0 instead of a 6.0?

works with the same chargers is what I heard. So kinda in the same boat as flexvolt.

It's not common on corded tools but crushless motor is nice.

That flex drill kit is crazy.

I think its just a standard t groove that most companies use for their track. DeWALT does offer a track connector but I don't think I will need one for now at least. I got the 104 in track to rip down plywood the long way. I also got the 59 in one to rip the plywood the short way.

Figured I could post a few pictures of the flex track saw t1 kit. Heres inside the box without the saw. Not sure what the middle section between the battery and the charger is. Kinda looks like it could hold a second battery but when I try a second battery it does not fit. It is also not a spot for the motor housing because the motor is not in the shape of the opening nor does it sit low enough to be inside the opening. Heres the box with the saw inside. A bit snug but works well enough. here's a picture of the saw on the track set at an angle. Kinda interesting that part of the right half of the saw base tilts with the blade and stuff. When cutting at an angle the saw tends to tilt out of the rail even with anti kickback enabled. Tilt out prevention like the Makita has would be nice. If you were wondering how big the saw is, here is my left hand to help give you an idea on size. I feel like it would be comfortable to use with either hand. Heres a look at the bottom. I found something interesting that isn't really talked about. I found 2 adjustment screws. Possibly used for calibrating the saw for 90? The white portion is the anti kickback mechanism.

connect the tracks?

theres also a new planex coming out I see it being called the planex easy.

Changes I see are grey metal, brushless motor, and option for battery or cord. Would be cool to see an innovative and useful new feature on this saw but I'm not sure what haha.

Wasn't it they could never prove he did or didn't kill his wife?

I noticed the forum looks different. I think it looks nice.

So I finally got the Flexvolt track saw. I am very new to track saws. I currently have the Flex track saw t1 kit, 2 track clamps, one medium track, and one long track. I have seen people use wax and also seen squares specifically for squaring up the track. Do I need wax or a "track square" and if so any suggestions on what to get? Also is there any other accessories or whatever I may need for my track saw besides what I already got?

And yes somehow the tstak holding the flexvolt track saw was upside down in a right side up box. Good thing there was no damage. So far it seems like a very good unit. Figured out a fair bit about it already. I'm sure theres still more to learn about it. It is my first track saw. Would be nice if there was a spot to put a set of track clamps inside the tstak. Maybe there is but I couldn't figure it out.

apparently Husky, commonly referred to as the "home depot brand", is owned by sb&d http://toolguyd.com/tool-brands-corporate-affiliations/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tool_manufacturers its not all of the companies but includes many of the more known ones.

This came today. I wonder what it is ; )
