Before spending money on a Festool or Makita track saw, make sure you don’t waste money on a new tool you don’t need! I want to pick up a track saw, but they can be very expensive. Instead, I tried to upgrade my current circular saw so it acts like a track saw, which is a huge cost savings. A track saw jig is around $100 (at the time of this video) compared to a Festool track saw that costs between $700 - $900. I picked up the Milescraft track saw guide jig. This is NOT sponsored by Milescraft or anyone else. I used my own money to buy this tool and test it. I wanted to see if it is a good alternative to buying an actual track saw.
