Always found Milescraft has the quality without the big price tag. Great products

[Buffy]

I've bought a few Milescraft products and I was very happy with the quality. Right now I can't afford a full blown track saw but I'm going to invest in this. It's the perfect solution for in between clamping a straight edge or track saw. Great video and review !

One point I didn't hear but is important. The squareness of the cut will only be as accurate as your blade to base plate angle. Most know this but it's worth mentioning for those just getting into this sort of stuff. Always check the blade to base plate accuracy on any skill saw with an accurate square. Make sure it's at 90 degrees, it doesn't take much to move it on many skill type saws. I've seen some that just setting it down a bit too hard moves the base plate (don't ask how I know that for sure).

Makita sells track adapters for all their circular saws and they allow you to do bevel cuts, plus the Makita track isn't proprietary so you could get whatever big brand track is on sale.

I'm a fan of Milescraft. I've purchased two of their products before. Best use I've got out of one of them is the circular cutting with a router jig and it does not disappoint! When I purchased it I was not sure what to expect because of the relative low price I had paid. But it's well worth it!

I think I'm going to get this. I break down sheet goods "on site" quite a bit, where I really wouldn't bring a track saw anyway. For a real track saw, I would prefer longer track pieces, for job-site work, the packability of short segments is an advantage.

Thanks for the review Matt! A definite improvement over cutting by eye. Those of us who cannot afford a track saw should give it a try! 😊😊😊❤❤

Hey Matt.
Because of your video, I ordered this from Milescraft. It came today, I set it up and bam! Perfect for a small garage/driveway shop that's a bit overwhelmed by my Grizzly tablesaw.😊

I've had the Bora for a few years. The track is much smaller and the sled is really cheap plastic. There's no stability, all kinds of play, and the clamping mechanism on the track is finicky and had me going back and forth around the workpiece to carefully get it square. I hated using it, so it was quickly retired and just used as a straight edge.

Because of the clamp handle on the Bora, I couldn't use a long t square. Seriously, anyone considering a Bora guide, just don't do it.

The Milescraft solved the squaring problem and my first cuts have been great.

The blade spacer is brilliant.

Thanks, man!

I have 2 55” Makita tracks and the fancy TSO connector. And I found that to get them perfectly aligned, I still rely on an 8’ aluminum level when I’m screwing the connectors down. Lesson is: doesn’t matter if it’s 2 or 4 connectors: get an 8’ aluminum level for alignment.

I've used my Kreg track jig dozens of times and love it. These things are excellent resources.

Festool does have the end guard for the tracks, been available for years and included in the FS/2 angle stop kit that was released about 18 months ago.

Thanks for the confirmation video for this system. I just ordered this system last week. I didn't need to purchase a full track saw as I wanted something to basically breakdown sheet goods for easier cutting on the table saw. I tried a few "cheap" straight edge system and got what I paid for (lesson learned). I will probably buy a new circular saw to dedicate to this system. Thanks for all the good feedback...Blessings

[norm]

Thank you for sharing this alternative to a full track saw. Stay warm, safe, happy and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia

[Nathan-ousl]

The more and more I look at the Milescraft the more and more impressed I am with them. Way under rated and very cost effective. I recently purchased their pocket hole jig and it's been fantastic! I'll likely be picking this up as well. Thanks for the video Matt! 👊🏼

[pteddie]

Thanks for the video. I look forward to videos where you build projects that are possible for the woodworker on a budget and to tool reviews that a weekend woodworker can afford and use. Thanks again.

Hats off to Dino and his EZ Smart system who pioneered this many years ago

[jlafoon]

I love this, it is a great system. They also have spare parts and replacement edging reasonably priced as I found out after an...ahem...mishap. One thing I wish they (or someone) made was a square attachment.

I respect your take on this and tools are not getting any cheaper these days. I have a dedicated mafell track saw and therefore don’t need it. However, I like when there are options for younger guys with tight budgets to get into the trade or hobby; it’s not getting easier for younger guys these days to accumulate the tools needed to make an income from them. Additionally, your so much more capable in a trade or hobby the sooner you dive in, anything that helps that I’m all for.

I needed something to cut down 4x8 sheets a few years ago. I knew I’d only use a track once or twice a year and already owned 2 circular saws and couldn’t justify spending 2-4 hundred for a track saw. I purchased a similar product (not this one) and it worked perfectly for my needs around the house.
