Makita Track Saw Review

Hey everyone!

Here's my video reviewing the Makita Corded track saw. This thing has been fantastic and will be a great addition to your shop if you are looking for one. I mentioned in the video that you may be able to get the longer track for cheaper at your local woodworking supply store. Just in case you couldn't you'll find a link below for that as well as for the saw/55" track combo (which is a pretty good deal).

I got one for breaking down sheet goods and has worked awesome.

Great video on all the knobs. First one I've found explaining all of them

Nice review, I've got the same saw. I see you use it a lot in a garage or shop- you might want to think about hooking up the shop vac. I find it cuts down on the dust in the air and around the work by quite a bit. Especially good with MDF, really don't want to breathe that stuff in over time.

Nice saw and review, keep up the great work! The weather is getting nice to get your truck out. 👍

Happy to be the first commenter. I think I have watched every video about tracksaws. Being 60 years old, and never having used one, it's hard for me to justify buying one but every time I have to make a long cut on a fridge panel (I do kitchens) and I find myself making marks, joining those marks with a straight edge and then slowly cutting to the line I think, "buy yourself a track saw man." One day I might. The other thing I am having a hard time with is battery versus cord. Most of the reviews lately are about battery operated saws. Here's another thing that being my age I have a hard time with. Anyway, thanks for the review. Best of luck with your channel.

Hi. Have you ever put a straight edge against your cut to see if there is any day light between the straight edge and the piece you cut ? I appreciate your input. Thanks.

Do the clamps run under the track so you can clamp where the track is overhanging the sheet?

i have the same makita. its not the best one, but for the price its nice. i had the problem that the anngle not cutting 45 degress, the screws in the bottom are sometimes loose. have the mefell and festool now outstanding tracksaws but really expansive, i cant give them to my workers. the makita for the price, if they destroy it i can buy new ones for cheap.

Do you have any issues with the plunge saw shifting on the track? My cuts are always off by 1/16 -1/8 by the time I finish the cut.

Wood you say it is an a-track-tive saw? 🤣
