I am glad that you mentioned Wittworks. Drew is wonderful and I can attest to his quality, as I have some of his accessories for my Track Saw. Thanks for the tips. I need to get some bench cookies as well.
Good tips Matt. #1, About anything can be taped over the port for removing the blade if someone... has a tracksaw and can't afford the covers.... #3, the "3-D storage rack"; could make those in about ten minutes. My nephew hangs his vertically on pegboard, on a hook. #4, track saw guide rail. Yes... that would work, but I prefer using a track clamp on each end, especially when I clip two guides together for cutting 8' plywood pieces. #5, bench cookies... no argument there, and they, too, can be easily made if a guy doesn't want to buy them. If a guy is starting out and can't afford a track saw, you can make a plywood 'track' in about ten minutes. That's what I use quite often because it's "Right there, right now, and two spring clamps will keep it form moving." (I use mine on my 60 year old Rockwell worm-drive. [I'm 75 now, don't know how much longer I'll be strong enough to lift it!]). Good video, buddy..... Stay Safe.............
Those would bench pucks not cookies. Maybe Mike is from Canada where hockey pucks can be found at the dollar store. If you were to dunk a hockey puck in Flex Seal marking is not a problem. He did say make from not use as…. No offense intended, all my comments are meant in jest..
I have the Wittwoks i took your advice & bought the Wittworks dust port cover. Totally pleased. Not so much with the cord holders. The cord holders tend to pop off when I’m trying to use while sanding. To solve this problem, I bought the Festool velcro straps that secure the cord to th e dust extractor hose. Money. The velcro straps provide a more solid way to keep your cord & hose together.
Great video on some very useful accessories. I will be getting the TSO square for my tracksaw and I like the idea of hanging my tracks on my shop doors. Secure and out of the way
There are a lot of things that can work with your Festool type guide rails that are really cool. . For long cuts, I love the DeWalt guide rail quick clamps. I find them much easier to use for clamping down a guide rail, or for side clamping on an MFT table. And yes, they work with The TSO rail Square as well. Seneca has some great Parallel Guides, and there are several vendors on Etsy who make guide rail attachments for routers, parallel guides, Dominos, and jigsaws.
Worth noting, there are some track squares on Amazon that are a small fraction of the cost of the TSO squares. I’ve used both and my $30 one has lock with action that’s a little less smooth.
Sedge has a video where he explains that track saw hole is there and part of its dust collection abilities, and not to block it (at least i swore I heard him say that on his own channel)
You should check out the Mafell brand track saw. It doesn't have a port (that needs a cover) to allow for blade changes. I also feel that the Mafell is the best overall track saw on the market. I did a lot of track saw research before purchasing the Mafell earlier this year. The only downside to the Mafell track saw is that it is expensive.
Thank you for the quick response and sending me the link but the link you sent me was for a starter kit two batteries and a charger I’m looking for the deal on the router with the batteries in the charger and the dust collector that you promote it for $199 I haven’t seen the router yet
The TSO guide rail also complements their parallel guides. Another track accessory which is useful are attachments that allow your router to used with your track rail in making straight accurate dados or grooves.
Unfortunately, the TSO guide rail square, doesn't work as it should : it looks square (on small pieces only), but it isn't square. More than 2 or 3mm non square cut for pieces over 400mm length. I don't want to hear anymore about TSO; really desapointed.
From Festool and Sedge (from Sedgetool), you don't want to cover that access hole on the saw. It's there to allow airflow to help with dust collection...
I heard him say the same thing but I think something was lost in translation from Germany. The results speak for themselves in my experience and in this video. Also they sell a 491750 cover plate for $72 that does essentially the same thing. It makes a bigger difference if you’re cutting near the edge or not
I was looking on Amazon and I found a lot of cheaper track clamps and track straight edge guides really cheap one was $25 can you do a review on them. Thanks.
Maybe, but then you have to take it off to change the blade, and you'll have that sticky residue on there. That overtime will build up. This is easier and just looks better.
I'm guilty of using masking tape 😟. Not good, cause it leaves adhesive behind and comes off in corner or the other. Results are slightly better than the open hole. I definitely will be getting the plugs.
If you have a straight edge to start with, the guide square works fantastic. I've used it many times (TSO) and it cuts square without fail. I rely on it to square off a full sheet.
@@Shiva108 I would think that the festool brand should be accurate, I haven't used one though. There could be other factors that might throw it out, like blade deflection (if you are trimming less than a saw kerf), dull blade, not positioning it correctly...
I would love to have a TSO guide but, last I checked they don't have one for the Kreg. Kregs accessories seem very cheap. I haven't seen any company with Kreg accessories.
About port covers. Why make full depth cut without cover having dust all over the show and then cut 3/4 inch ply with cover on. That does not convince me.
Possibly, if you aren't using your tools to generate income. However, if you value efficiency and accuracy, this could 2x your production. Depends on your mindset I guess.
