Bought one of these years ago, one of the best tool purchases I've made. Use it all the time for cutting OSB/plywood. If you're already invested in the DeWalt battery ecosystem it's a great buy. Most of the other track saws didn't exist when I bought mine so it was between the DeWalt and the Festool, which was much more expensive at the time.
Most people probably do not care if tracks are standard. I bought a DeWalt to have a DeWalt and will use DeWalt tracks with my DeWalt track saw. Only influencers are going to have multiple different track saws. Most of us have one.
Good review ! I have the Festool and the Dewalt . I use the Dewalt for field work . The cut isn't quite as fine as the Festool with the anti chip feature. The Dewalt is very powerful and i enjoy the fact that you can cut on both sides of the track ....spinning the long track to cut the other direction is a pain ! I feel the other tracks are a bit better quality in some aspects. I feel that Dewalt tools are a bit lighter weight , which is beneficial as i get older !
Great review, I loved using one of these after using one I borrowed from work I plan to buy one of these in the near future. You did seem to miss that the tracksaw is a 60V not a flexvolt advantage tool so the saw is running at 60V not 20V that is why your 20V battery it locked out.
Appreciate not only the review, but the comparisons as well. Great start to the new channel!
I appreciate that!
I'm just getting into woodworking, just picked up the Skil table saw and DeWalt router tonight, so off to a decent start haha. I love videos focused on beginner tips and knowledge, just starting out, I don't even know what kind of screws I should use on projects, I just have some T25 deck screws that I have from random projects, but informational videos for newbies like myself are much appreciated. Love the content my man.
Congratulations on the new channel. Cannot wait for more content from you!
Thank you so much!
I love the track design as I get frustrated at times, needing to switch around the cutting direction on MY Milwaukee
Congrats on the new channel. I can't wait to see what you have in store for us!!
Thanks Michael!
Another great review! Thanks Mighty Matt!
Lloyd! Thank you!
Wow, I like that saw. I'd buy it now if my new shop was finished.
A lot of people say you can run it on a festool track. I bought the Kreg early in my journey, my journey is still isn’t that old anyway, but, when I bought it, it seemed like a lot of money to me because I hadn’t spent all that much at that point. As I progressed, I don’t get shocked by prices of things anymore. I want to upgrade it but it has done everything I needed it to do. My money can be spent much wiser in other areas. I’ll treat myself one day to a new, more premium saw someday. Most likely I’ll go festool but man that Bosch sure was looking sweet to me
Another great review Matt thanks for sharing. I picked up the Ridgid track saw when you posted that great deal on your deals alerts text a couple months ago from Home Depot with the saw and battery included. Thanks Matt
Thanks! How do you like the Ridgid track saw so. far?
@@TheOutlawEffect I love it works great. So glad I got the deal the day you shared it l
I'm really surprised he has not reviewed the Profactor Bosch track saw. I just bought it and it's pretty awesome. Already had a lot of bosch amp+share batteries, decided to stick with it.
Thanks Matt. I don't feel the need for a track saw right now but I appreciate the review. Gives me an idea of how it works if I want a track saw in the future. 😊😊😊
Glad to help
Thanks for a great review . How is the cleanliness of the cut it seem to show saw marks in the video ...?
I would not be too concerned about the track compatibility if God was to bless me with the ability to purchase one track saw let alone multiples. Unfortunately I must save up for dust collection system first as it is starting to affect my health, live and learn, which means a track saw is not in the budget for the foreseeable future, but one day I will be lucky enough to get one and would likely go with Dewalt as I have mostly Dewalt and Rigid tools. Great video and great reviews. Really great channel, you and your wife are extremely kind people as I watch you all the time and saw your video where you bought stuff for people at Woodcraft store.
Thank you
Thank you for sharing. Since you're asking, I would like to see you test the power in particular. I'm on the DeWALT 20v/60v Flexvolt platform, but I bought the Milwaukee track saw because I didn't like the things you mentioned (after all, either this saw or the Festool TS 75 are the oldest track saws still in production, which is why they lack some of the modern refinements). However, cutting through hardwoods might be a significant advantage to the DeWALT being that it's running off of 60 volts and not 18v/20v or even 36v.
That does look really clean when the battery is in there. I really like how smooth that track is, and since I’ve already got dewalt batteries, I can’t imagine getting the Milwaukee. But, that 5 year warranty sounds a whole lot better
I agree, but you can't beat that Ridgid warranty!
@timlawrence3906 but I'm not on that t battery platform, so I wouldn't start there platform just for a track saw
@@raymondhall7606 I agree.
DeWalt has three battery lines, their 12 volt Max, the 20 volt XR and the 20/60 volt Flexvolt. The 20 volt XR batteries can be used in the 20 volt Atomic tools, 20 volt XR tools and the 20 volt Flexvolt Advantage tools. The 20/60 volt Flexvolt batteries can be used in the 20 volt Atomic tools, 20 volt XR tools, 20 volt Flexvolt Advantage tools and the 60 volt Flexvolt tools. If you want to see the differences in power between the XR, Flexvolt Advantage, and Flexvolt tools, check out the Torque Test Channel. They have a couple videos where they dyno test all three circular saws showing the power output differences.
3:01 I laughed so hard,I just bought the worm drive saw combo and I had to google how to remove it...Push the button they said...lmao
I have this saw, but I use it with festool rails.
Don’t know if you’ve already done a video on it but would love to hear about your dust collection set up. I have a small shop and getting tired of sneezing every 2 seconds 😅
Thanks. Yes, on the 731 Woodworks channel I have one. Just search 731 Dust Collection and you should find it.
Could you also add in a review of the Bosch tracksaw you added to your deal list?
Noted. Thank you.
I wish DeWalt would make a new version that locked the saw to the track during beveled cuts.
Did the Dewalt's track saw link up with the Festool dust extraction unit.?
yep, the hose goes right into the port. It doesn't "lock" in like it doesn't on Fesotol tools, but has a good friction fit.
Can you get a 12ft track for this unit?
Can you do a video on the latest ridgid tools and batteries? I have an older ridgid cordless set of tools I love, but I don't know if I can use the new batteries on the old tools , and can I charge the new batteries on the old chargers? I'm short on cash as of late, plus I'm " thrifty" ...ok I'm cheap anyway lol
Thanks for the suggestion! I have several new ones in the shop recently. I can tell you the old batteries work on the new chargers and vice versa. And the new batteries work on older tools no problem.
@@TheOutlawEffect Ty Sir! Also thank you for your service in Law Enforcement. I am an old submarine veteran and was a firefighter/vehicle rescue technician for a few years and always had a good repore with our Law Enforcement. May the LORD continue to bless your family,business, and your ministry. I love your channel along with some others. The encouragement for us to do this helps alot.
Full review please
I been seeing videos claiming that using the flexvolt batteries on the 20V tools will actually kill them.
There is no reason for a 20v tool to damage a flexvolt battery. There is nothing unique or high tech about flexvolt batteries. It's done with internal switches to configure the cells in a parallel or series configuration.
I like it
was thinking about buying it but the track is only 1.5m and that's just short for full ply cuts
They do a 2.6m track for full ply cuts
The variable speed control is probably for metal cutting blades. I don't think you're supposed to spin them as fast.
Somebody probably already filled you in about the batteries on the DeWalt but if not here goes. The reason you can't put the 20 volt batteries on a 60 volt tools is because you can't turn a 20 volt battery into a 60 volt battery it won't even run the saw. However DeWalt 60 volt flex volt batteries specifically designed to function as a 60 volt output source when installed on a 60 volt tool but when you install it on a 20 volt tool it changes the output configuration and it becomes a 20 volt battery but the amp hour becomes more because you're not draining at 60 volts you're draining at 20. So on a 60 volt tool a 6 amp hour 60 volt battery is a 6 amp hour battery but on a 20 volt tool the 6 amp hour battery becomes an 18 amp hour battery if I'm not not mistaken making that a big but 20v battery when being used on a 20v tool
Actually Flexvolt battery amp hours are listed at 20v. Hence a 9ah battery is only 3ah @ 60 volts. The flexvolt batteries uses internal switches to either parallel all the cells to get 20V or it separates the cells into 3 20 volt groups in series with each other.
@@almorris171 obviously you didn't read my follow-up post where I specifically describe what you just said only with much more detail
@@almorris171 Okay to add a more scientific explanation to my earlier comment on the compatibility of the flexvolt battery line, I believe the way it works is in your standard 20-volt battery pack there are a set of cells when put together equal 20 volts in a flex volt battery pack there would be three sets of cells each set equaling 20 volts the wiring inside the pack and I imagine the connections on the tool when connected to a 20-volt tool all three of those sets of cells equaling 20 volts each run in series but when placed in a 60 volt tool those three sets of cells each equaling 20 volts run parallel which would add up to 60 volts. I am not an expert I just believe that that's probably the science behind it it would be like having 3 20 volt battery packs all crammed into one pack and I imagine because the tool is only drawing 20 volts maybe those things only drain one set of batteries at a time which is why you get more amp hours because you technically have three battery packs built into one pack on a 20 volt tool. That what is the second part of my post that you must have missed as you can see I know exactly how they work
Maybe they went to 60V for more power (ohm's law - raising voltage drops amperage, meaning they don't have to worry about tripping the over current protection inside the battery pack) or at least reduce the chance of stalling it out, which is horrible for brushless motors? That's why the 20V batteries don't fit - the 60V batteries are backwards compatible with the 20V tools (they have additional contacts in the packs that line up with either voltage tools) - It is still odd since DeWalt does make 20V cordless circular saws though.
I will say that my DeWalt cordless does cut pretty nicely, but you can definitely stall it if you lean on it too hard, especially making a plunge cut in hardwood. Granted it's an 18V saw with the 20V adapter, but if you stall it the battery and the adapter both get hot and quickly. From what I understand, the 20V saws aren't much better in that regard either (haven't used one personally but I spoke with a few people who have them)
I have their 60v circular saw, and it works great so far. My Dad and I used it while replacing his old wood fence with a new one, and it cut through pressure treated 2x4s and 4x4s like butter. My Dad said he wanted to keep it, and he's on the Ridgid system.
@@timlawrence3906 Mine does fine for general use, dimensional lumber and such, but it eats batteries on rip cuts in sheet goods, and it does struggle with hardwood in specific instances as mentioned.
That's good to know though, my saw is almost old enough to drink...
I haven't had the opportunity to try the circular saw in a sheet of plywood yet. I have few 5/8 scraps, but they and everything else is in a Pack Rat container while in the process of building a new shop/man cave.
Can you make plunging cuts? 🤷🏻♂️
Yes you can
I feel like I seen this before but I don’t know we’re ❤

LOL! Manual out the window! I never read them! Most guys don't!
I forgot this was your other channel. I thought someone was stealing your content lol.
same here lol
test its rigidity, accuracy, consistency at 45°... not a single review vid on any channel - including yours - on any brand track saw does that ...not sure why no one thinks to do that
because it is a 60v tool
It's not a 20 volt toolit's the battery it can switch from 20 volt or 60 volt it's not the tool that can go from 20 or 60 volt it's just the battery
I like the reviews that you do, but on the many reviews you do comparing tracksaws you leave out some of the better ones, like makita, mafell, etc. I think if you are doing a review of a tool and you compare it to other tools and talk about recommendations, you should be more comprehensive and include more brands/models. If you do a review and don’t compare, then it doesn’t matter.
I'd like to do the Makita and Bosch. Mafell would be awesome but they are so very expensive compared to even Festool. Hard for me to justify buying one since I buy almost all of the tools I review.
cordless track saws and other cordless equipment that is going to be used in a shop situation is not something i would even remotely consider buying .the added weight and cost of buying batteries seems pointless when electricity is only feet away . It's kind of like turning on the tap to get a glass of water and putting the water into a pitcher first and then pouring the water into the glass.
Yes, you can run 60v batteries in your 20v tools; you cannot run 20v batteries in your 60v tools.
Really don't like the way this guy does he does his reviews. Seems very opinionated about the one brand. He should really review and understand how each warranty works, especially the Milwaukee warranty.
Tooooo...much talking.
