Dewalt’s New TrackSaw

Dewalt is launching their new TrackSaw that will be released this November.  We haven’t tested this new saw, but it looks like Dewalt is going after Festool’s Guide Rail system and dust collection.  As the name suggests, the TrackSaw follows a track to help you make a perfectly straight cut every time.  According to Dewalt the cut will produce splinter free cuts which makes sense once you see how the track lays right by the cuts. 

With this saw you can make beveled cuts, cut on inclines and more.  The tracks come in a variety of sizes and you can always join them together.  The saw is a 12 amp 1300 watt motor, variable speed (Corded) and has an anti-kick back mechanism.  The saw is avaliable in a corded or cordless version.  Both have a plunge system in place, so you can start your cut from any point.  This system weights in at 12lbs.  On the bottom of the track there are two friction slips which means you do not have to clamp the track down and damage your project.  Again we haven’t tested this TrackSaw, so we are not sure how well it holds especially if it is cold out side or a little damp.  You can replace the top or bottom strips if they wear out.  Again we do not know how long the strips last before they need replacement and at what cost. 

As we get more information from users, we will update this post about the Dewalt TrackSaw
