I never trimmed my edge with a razor either.
Cutting any sheet with any saw on a surface that isn't flat will cause the saw to bind and kickback. Hang the track off the sheet a few inches on either side and make sure your sheet is flat on stickers. I do not want to buy a $300 track just to cut it down to ~60 inches, and they do not sell intermediate lengths.I regularly cut down sheets with the 55" track with ease. I always need to move the track or risk a guide coming out/kickback. The one gripe i have about this saw is that the 55" track isn't long enough to comfortably cut a 48" length (regularly needed for crosscutting sheet goods). I tried to cut them with one half of the saw on the track and ended up with the blade hitting the aluminum and the saw kicking back. Not only would you avoid screwing up your "straight edge" but it would give you a visual of where to safely start and stop your cut. Max.Just dont cut the ends, i wish i didnt.Saw base is attachable to other guide rail systems in the market.
I’m not one to cheap out on tools, but if there’s a high quality tool that’s at a better price and gives the same in result I’m not going to spend more just on a name if that name doesn’t give me higher quality, better features, and. All the components were equally well packaged and undamaged.Īfter unpacking, I took some time to familiarize myself with the different components before I put them to work. The Makita track saw had great reviews, people loved it, and it was significantly cheaper than the Festool TSC55 (Cordless) and even the Festool TS55. Makita also sent along a guide rail, rail clamps, and rail angle guide. The saw itself comes in a form-fitting hard case that is well built and stackable. The Makita SP6000J arrived in mint condition. Read our Review of the Makita Flagship Direct-Drive Miter Saw
