Festool Track Saw Setup 

Thank you I have searched for years for a video like this and finally, I found it, great job now I can calibrate my Sawblade of the Festool TS 75 EQ perfectly

Great Job man. simple and informative. The comfort will come in time.

Super cool video with all the things I needed. Thank you

I have this saw and just figured it was square out of the box... now i am going to run out to the shop and check. Thanks!

Thanks for this. I tried the make a cut and flip it end for end method and adjust and I couldn't get it square to my satisfaction. I hasn't considered just removing the cover! Good time to clean it out too. Thanks again for sharing.

Great job Brother!!! Thanks for the help!!!

Well done on your first video. Good tip and makes perfect sense.Think I'll give it a try on my track saw. All the best.

I would suggest to check squarnes on RESULTS, not on the blade. Just cut two pieces, turn one around, and put them together. If the two cuts fit together, it is square.

After adjusting I would suggest ripping 2 narrow strips then setting them on a flat surface and flip one around/over to see if your blade is actually at 90. If square/90 any way you flip your 2 pieces there won't be any gaps between them. The proof is in the pudding.

Love the T shirt

Mine was slightly out - fixed it with this technique. Thanks for the info!

Nice. I didn’t even think I needed to do that. Do you know how to adjust the blade depth to compensate for the track? I know this saw isn’t the same as the 55 version and doesn’t have the dual gauge. Also, do you know if the 75 has some sort of indicator to show where the blade begins and ends on the saw chassis? I’m having difficulty lining up my cut to where it needs to end other than eyeballing it

The trick is to remove the chassis. Excellent. That you.

I bought one second hand. Thinking the last owner set it up correctly. Plunge the saw down and the blade was backwards like a conventional circular saw... Suspicion rising. Test cut and the blade isn't square... Some tradies.

I squared mine by plunging and locking in and used a protractor and made sure the blade was 90 degrees from the bottom of the saw. A square would’ve worked too.

Nice job on your first vid, looking forward to seeing you do more. I did think festool suggested trimming the track with the blade down fully, but im not sure. But i definitely picked up some pointers for my tracksaw which is still in the box, cheers mate

oliver!

I believe you got it wrong with the procedure with adjusting the 2 hex screws. What U should have done 1st was loosen the 2x bevel adj. knobs on either end of the base, this allows the saw to tilt freely. U can then either tilt the blade square against the square by adj hex screws up/down ensuring both hex screws lightly touch the base plate. Swing the saw on its bevel hinges several times then recheck for square then re-tighten the 2x bevel adj. knobs on either end of the base. I'm sorry to say that leaving the 2x bevel locking knobs tight, you have probably slightly damaged the base plate and possibly the aluminum thread the 2 adj hex screws screw into by forcing the 2 adj hex screws.

You should cut the whole length of the splinter strip. Then you won't accidently register the track off of an uncut part.
