WPW member Regis Will plugs in to discuss the viability of the track saw (as sold by Festool, Makita and Dewalt) as an alternative to the table saw, radial arm saw, panel saw and/or chop saw in the shop. Regis will discuss why he chose this system, and his opinion of the pros and cons versus the table saw.
During the demonstration Regis will attempt to complete a couple of small projects from plywood and solid lumber, and present real-world cutting and work-holding scenarios.
For those of you with small shops that don’t have room for larger sawing equipment, or if you haven’t purchased a saw yet, or if you’re simply looking for another alternative in making precise cuts in a safe manner, this program should be very informative and helpful.
