MAKITA Cordless Track Saw Review

The saw has a super smooth plunge and powerful motor allowing it to cut, as smooth as the saw slides on its track. We were extremely impressed with the ease of use, and solid design, and great price.

This saw is purchase you can be sure of, it is a quality track saw with plenty of power to get the job done.

As I said in previous comment, This is a no brainer cordless tool. Combine it with Makita XCV05 Backpack Vacuum and you go totally cordless. Rob, you are my favorite tool reviewer (who cost me a lot!!). Straight to the point, talking about real professional concerns using clear language with tons of great shots and closeups. Please pass my greetings to the rest of behind the scene team. Khalid.

I've had a Festool ts for many years and this Makita cordless might be my next. I truly detest reviews from someone who doesn't use the item in question on a regular basis. That's what makes your reviews credible, you're a carpenter who actually uses these tools for a living. Thanks
Update: I purchased the Makita ts and have used it for 3 mo and it cuts, performs on par w/ Festool. The cordless aspect is the reason it stays in the truck for jobsite use. Festool ts stays home for shop duty. This review helped me decide on the purchase. Thanks again

For anyone with a festool extractor, the D27 hose fits on the dust port perfectly.

I’ve seen about 10 reviews none of them explain as good as you mate, loved it 👍

I have owned one of these for almost a year now, This saw makes me look good, I have become dependent on this tool. I construct JukeBoxes out of 3/4 treated plywood, this saw shows its sweet-spot when cutting.

Man Rob, your videos are one of my go-tos now for research for new tools. So well done. Thank you!

I always wanted a track saw but refused to pay what I thought was way to much money for the Festool. I've had my saw for 3 years, use it almost every day and am looking forward to adding the battery powered unit in the near future. Since the manufactures force us to choose between them because of the proprietary battery issues I made my peace with it, settling on Makita. Even though I think that many of their offerings come in second or even third in some cases the differences are usually small enough that sticking with tools that use the same battery is the deciding factor for me. Any that's only my two cents. What I like most about your videos is how often I simply agree with your judgement (-; . Keep up the good work!

Your review sealed the deal, I’m going to buy one

Best all-around review yet on this Makita Saw. Thank you.

Hey Rob, I've had this saw for a while now, can't imagine why anyone would spend the money on a Festool, little known fact, the Festool guiderail and the Makita guide rail are interchangeable, and the Makita version is cheaper, HA! Makita track saw is second to none.

My temptation is to buy this thing tomorrow. I just bought the 10" cordless slider last week though.... I better take a breath for at least a month...

[TheTranq]

Still deciding between this and the Festool

[phillyphil]

oh my God Belts and Boxes sent me here. never even HEARD of "track saw" till the year 2020, but one look and now i want one SO BAD.

[michaelmancini]

In reply to you're question Gary, " what isn't precise ? ". I have extensive experience
with both the Makita and Festool track saws as i own the Makita and my partner owns the Festool. Both are excellent saws, but as i admitted to my partner the Festool glides
down the straight guide with less wobble and resistance than the akita, also the plunge on the
festool seems better, " in my opinion" I would still by the akita, the Festool is not worth the money

This popped up in my feed. I really want to get this for my step dad because he helps me so much on side projects. But right now they are so hard to find!

[grahamh]

thanks for a comprehensive review - you answered all my questions.

[vyaterminaciones]

Thank you so much for your review about Makita plunge circular saw, i need to buy it soon, …

[MichaelBrown-kkck]

Thanks so much, Rob, for a great review. I’m gonna have to get one of these Makiter sawrs.

So if you had a good track saw with the TSO TPG track accessory system and a good router/table, how much need would you still have for a table saw? Trying to build a small shop in rather limited space and a table saw would take up a lot of space.
