  • I decided to go ahead and purchase a track saw. Was tired of fighting a straight edge clamp that would shift when I clamped it. I was on the M18 battery platform, and the was a sale for the M18 track saw, included a 55” track and track clamps. Got it in, and I am very happy with the purchase, Adjustments, riving knife, etc.
  • @JohnANellis
    You should really try the 40v Makita track saw. It has a kickback function and has replaced the 18v version imo. One battery, one charger, less weight, more power than dewalt, longer battery life, better design, and the 40v Makita platform is starting to expand, making it worth the investment.
  • @Lugnut64052
    I've had a Wen 7&1/4" corded saw for a few years. At the time it was the cheapest track saw around. Thought I wouldn't use it too much, but I've ended up using it A LOT. Built two kitchens with it. Running it on Powertec tracks it works fine for breaking down sheet goods. I'm perfectly happy with it.
  • Would you ever compare all the corded track saws? I always prefer a cord over a battery.
  • @curnowornever
    Another FANTASTIC review video! One of the best reviewers on YouTube now! Keep going!!
  • I picked up the Milwaukee about 6 months ago and it quickly became one of my favorite tools to use. Glad to see it’s getting some love.
  • Thank you for the reviews, Matt! It's always a pleasure hearing what you have to say. 🙂🙂❤❤
  • @botch3936
    While I'm not needing a tracksaw, had to mention this was a very well-done and thorough review; Bravo!
  • @michaelleas
    Great review, thank you for putting in this work
  • @dbf1dware
    Great work as always. Thank you for your reviews.
  • This is a fantastic review and I think you really got it completely right. The big 3 are at the top for a reason. I have an erbauer which is almost a carbon copy of the triton ( just a different colour) and I get some fantastic cuts from it. No issues and I find it very accurate , but it could b better. If I could justify the price I would buy Milwaukee. At work we use various Milwaukee tools ( grinders, nut guns, drills , impact drivers, saw-saws , battery grease guns and impact ratchets ) for the past few years now and they have proven to be bullet proof. They have been dropped , partially driven over , submerged in water and been left outside in all types of weather conditions....but they never break or fail. I'm looking to buy the Makita soon , as I think that when price is considered it is without doubt the best bang for your buck on the plunge saw market. And the reliability is very close to Milwaukee. A lot of tradesmen that I know are now turning hair back on Dewalt. Their reliability and usability issues are becoming a bad reputation for the company. A major fall from grace in the recent years.
  • @WoodworkerDan
    Great video. I think you absolutely nailed it with your rankings.
  • @SuperShermans
    I completely agree, I have the Ridgid and Milwaukee track saw. I love both of them, I really think they are very comparable, especially running the Ridgid 12 AH and the Milwaukee Forge. Good job !!
  • @markd9105
    One plus to your review vs Project farm is it doesn't sound like it's in 3x speed lol. It's nice to be able to see reviews like this 👍
  • @coffeekhan
    Nice video, as always. I appreciate your real world experience in evaluating these saws, especially since I’m looking at buying one soon.
  • @roy.h.barrett
    Matt, good stuff as always man... I appreciate your approach and dive on this topic. Thanks man!!
  • @GGGG_3333
    Amazing review ❤. Can't wait for similar ones for all of the woodshop tools
  • @SandyMasquith
    For years I saved and saved thinking of buying the Festool track saw. Then... Milwaukee has a track saw.... and everyone has a "decent" track saw offering. I went with Milwaukee since I already have Packout and M18 batteries. Then again, I also have Systainer as I do have a Festool sander and a Festool dust extractor. Ah well, I love the Milwaukee track saw. It adjusts accurately, it cuts precisely and it has decent storage and works with accessories. Thanks for doing all this work, Matt. Your videos are great at explaining the details that are so important in these tool purchase decisions.
  • @seanamos9441
    Too bad you didn't include Bosch. Their track Saw has been amazing for me. Never had one complaint. Great video, thank you!
