Hello, friend. I would prefer to build my own track saw because it's quite accurate i supposed, enjoyable, and simple to do. All righty and that's what we want something interesting DIY ,maybe you can show your own DIY and i know you have some ideas 😁so i can copy yours, it's fun .
Today I ordered a Wen cordless track saw that comes with two 20volt 4ah batteries and a charger and has a brushless motor. Also added two 55” Powertec tracks for $364 and that price includes a 6.875% sales tax 😊
Shocker the person with all the Ryobi gear (sponsored) has no problem. Hard to find honest reviews. I’m just starting in the fitting business so looking for value, reliability and scope to upgrade, i have some Ryobi equipment for DIY so wanted to utilise the batteries but might have to steer clear.
Thanks for the review! could you please measure the size(width) of the 2 t-slots on the track? Just want to know if they are compatible with many track saw square rail guides. Thanks!
The bottom of the track doesn't have a T track slot does it? If not I'm struggling to see how to clamp the rail down, and you sometimes do need to do. Edit: oh wait, I see they have their own custom clamp. Guh, not ideal.
@@DadItYourselfDIY Ryobi is for homeowners who look at a project and say, “I like it, good enough.” Festool is for professionals that are judged on the quality of their work. It’s a completely different standard.
@@DadItYourselfDIY it wasn’t meant as an insult. Homeowners can be as skilled as as a pro. Sometimes they *are* pros. The difference is homeowners have all the time they need and can take as many cracks at it as they want. A professional carpenter is expected to get it done right the first time and any flaw is judged much more harshly. Don’t take it personally. I’m sure you’re good at what you do.
@sswwooppee I'm a professional general contractor, finish carpenter, and an advanced hobby woodworker. Doing it all with Ryobi. A sharp blade, a straight line, patience, and skill. The archer is who kills the enemy, not the arrow.
So maybe correct the Model# to PTS01B instead of TSC01B in the Title? I spent way too much time searching for a new, totally unheard of Ryobi track saw that does not exist🙃
@@DadItYourselfDIY I believe the M18 is October or November. Hopefully we’ll have UA-cam comparisons in time for Christmas! I haven’t heard anyone say if the Ryobi is compatible with Festool track or not; my understanding is that the Milwaukee will be.
@@DadItYourselfDIY Turns out I found a comparison between Ryobi and Festool-pattern rails. Definitely will NOT work with Festool rails, or many of the accessories for Festool rails, so the Ryobi saw is dead to me. I hope the narrower track saved them enough money to make up for the loss of sales. I wouldn’t pay $100 for it. This is one of the dumbest business decisions I’ve seen out of Ryobi. They have developed a tool that can really only be used to cut up plywood, given it a track that is too short, and don’t sell a proprietary track long enough to rip a sheet of plywood. Good job, Ryobi. It makes me want to throw out ALL of my Ryobi tools. If the Milwaukee is decent, I’ll consider it, otherwise, Festool here I come.
I’m glad you compared prices and such, thats a good comparison and it seems to cut through ply easily! I have the Ryobi brushless hp 7 1/4 and the kreg accucut, it has done me good so far but I may have to pick this up!
I spoke to the folks from Kreg at WorkbenCon earlier this year. They admittedly know they are not in the same category as the dedicated saw kits, but are perfectly happy being a universal option.
Is a track saw primarily for breaking down sheet goods or can it actually replace a table saw for general household woodworking? I'd love to find something that'll take up less space than my tablesaw but I have no experience with a track saw.
To me a track saw really shows it’s worth if you can rip a full sheet of plywood in half. Paying $400 to just make cross cuts seems pretty unnecessary when you can just use your circular saw and a guide for 4ft cross cuts. Until they come out with additional tracks, I don’t think I will entertain their purchase. But what do you think about the plastic base? That was pretty shocking to me.
Plastic base is fine, if you're building houses all day buy dewalt. If you're doing a shed over the span of 3 months buy ryobi and take care of your shit lmao.
Might be good for wekend projects for once a month but if you are full time carpenter or contractor you need robust track saw that actual shoe is aluminum or magnesium, have the corded festool ts 55 and milwaukee track saw , love both of them and very accurate, i was looking at the ryobi and its all plastic and deflecting shoe plate which is not good , plus the riving knife is a joke ( useless) it doesnt integrate with other tracks is another issue , you need to join 4 tracks to be able to cut 8ft ply, its for home owners quality tool , for a few bucks more you can get much better options i believe, i like ryobi tools and have their cordless nailers but the track saw is not worth the money and quality is not there
So you're saying this saw has a good track record?
Excellent track record.

I had a DIY track before this. I prefer the Ryobi metal track.
What’s the link for the dust bag?
It does not come with a sawdust collector. It's designed for a hose connection for a shop vac or dis ectractor.

Not bad!
On sale right now! 299 with TWO 4ah HP batteries
I saw that! See what I did there?
Great video! Like to seeing Ryobi step into this market with a track saw. 👍👍
Yeah, left Milwaukee just standing there with their pants down.
Glad you did a video on it. I hated mine! Just roasted it. Glad to see your channel growing.
Really? I've had zero issues.
@@DadItYourselfDIY yeah: ua-cam.com/video/_jDNOfVsAdU/v-deo.html

It cuts straight lines.

1 1/4, 3/4 groove, 1", the open. Full width is 6 1/4"
@@DadItYourselfDIY Thanks a lot!
You're welcome.
How weight the saw ？ thank you
Couple of pounds. Same as a regular circular saw.
Excelente maquina, buen video! Saludos desde España
Bueno!

Edit: oh wait, I see they have their own custom clamp. Guh, not ideal.
It does, and comes with a clamp.
Just purchased today and looking forward my question is can you buy extra track to cut 97 in?
Or should I say rip long pieces 97 in Long?
Waiting on a reply from Ryobi. I'll pin the answer in the comments.
Nope. Not better than Festool. That’s crazy. I’m glad you like your tool and get stuff done with it though. That’s what it’s all about.
"For the Price"

Well I guess I'm not a professional, or have any skill. Thanks for that. Do you need any advice on how you make your living?

Holy crap.. how did I do that! Fixed!
@@DadItYourselfDIY Now that's what I call service.. And... Subbed!!! Well played, sir😎 Good review and I look forward to more
Thanks man for catching that.
Finally it happened, hopefully this will available in Australia soon
I'm sure it will, otherwise make an American friend.
Any idea what additional tracks will cost?
I've reached out to Ryobi with that very question!
Good video 👍
Thanks!
Looks like it cuts very accurate but I would need a longer track seeing the type of finish work I do
Track extensions are being released shortly.
@@DadItYourselfDIY good to hear timely information
I try to get the news out.
Very cool, we’re in the market for one. I only have one Ryobi tool, the rest M18 some M12 plus some Makita. This one looks like it has potential.
Can't beat the price. Milwaukee just announced theirs, not sure what the release date is.
@@DadItYourselfDIY I believe the M18 is October or November. Hopefully we’ll have UA-cam comparisons in time for Christmas!
I haven’t heard anyone say if the Ryobi is compatible with Festool track or not; my understanding is that the Milwaukee will be.
My Ryobi contact told me it's proprietary. But until I see it for my self. I mean you can only design a wheel so many ways.

Glad you reviewed this one. Been looking into getting one.
It's so nice...
Thank you for shering
Thank you for watching!
I’m glad you compared prices and such, thats a good comparison and it seems to cut through ply easily! I have the Ryobi brushless hp 7 1/4 and the kreg accucut, it has done me good so far but I may have to pick this up!
That 7 1/4 saw is a beast. I use it all the time. Kreg makes really good universal tools too!
I have have both and the kreg floats around on top of the track and is very sloppy. MY RYOBI track saw is laser accurate and stable in comparison.
I would agree. I had heard that the accuracy of the Kreg accucut was "questionable"
@@DadItYourselfDIY yes I agree, that kreg accucut maybe have to be phased out for this beast!
I spoke to the folks from Kreg at WorkbenCon earlier this year. They admittedly know they are not in the same category as the dedicated saw kits, but are perfectly happy being a universal option.
Is a track saw primarily for breaking down sheet goods or can it actually replace a table saw for general household woodworking? I'd love to find something that'll take up less space than my tablesaw but I have no experience with a track saw.
It can replace a tablesaw for many functions. It's not good for efficiency of repeatable cuts like a tablesaw and mitresaw would be good for.
@@DadItYourselfDIY Fair enough. Nothing like a well tuned jig on a table saw to nail a bunch of repeated cuts accurately.
Thanks.
Yup!
@@DadItYourselfDIY tracksaw + DIY mft style table tho... and you do have great repeatability
Agreed, but without the speed. Every tool has a purpose and can never be replaced by another 100%
great video
Thanks
My experience with Ryobi wasn't great, so it wasn't likely that I'd pick Ryobi over Festool.
But many people don't have the luxury of affording Festool, but need the functionality thata track saw gives them.
@@DadItYourselfDIY You don't know what others had to do to afford it.
Im aware. You invest in what will make tge most sense and provide the best results. Each person makes that decision on their own.
@@DadItYourselfDIY Much of the time I don't have two nickels to rub together, but throw away tools have never been the answer.
Buy once, cry once.
Great review! Thanks.
Thanks Joe!

I agree that a add on track is going to beca necessity. The plastic base doesn't seem to be an issue. Only time will tell.
They'll also need to sell longer tracks. Joining four short tracks would be a pain.
Add on tracks will be released in July.
Plastic base is fine, if you're building houses all day buy dewalt. If you're doing a shed over the span of 3 months buy ryobi and take care of your shit lmao.
Is the track compatible with Festool tracks?
I have no idea. I don't have a Festool saw to try it out on.🤷♂️
No.
Nope.

I don't do a bunch of stuff that requires the track saw. But when I do, it's been clutch. Great price and filled my niche.
Milwaukee Fanboys punching the air rn.
Ahahaha..
