Track Saw Buyers’ Guide
Track saws are more than the blade and motor power. Accessories such as a spring-loaded guide rail and riving knife are also important. Let’s take a look at the most important features our experts consider necessary.
Speed
The speed is the first thing you need to consider. Variable speed adjustability is available on some saws that allows users to make precise cuts with different materials. An adjustable saw speed is not only compatible with multiple materials but also eliminates wood burning, tear-offs and splinters.
RPM (or revolutions per minute) is a measure of the saw’s speed. The saw will run faster if the RPM is higher. How can you tell if saws are variable in speed? The manufacturer will list an RPM range to ensure that the track saw can be adjusted.
Our experts recommend a speed range of 2000 to 5000 RPM for an adjustable track saw. Our team recommends a speed closer to the maximum speed, which is 5000 RPM.
Power
Motor power is the power. Motor power can be expressed in amps or watts. Most motors offer at least 10 amps. The most common is 12 amps. For heavy-duty work, however, high-powered motors can be used. They can reach up to 15 amps.
Reduce Capacity
Adjustable cutting capacity is required. Cut capacity refers to the cutting depth and bevel range. You can adjust the cutting depth micro-adjustably on some track saws to give you greater control over your precision. Our experts recommend that you look for bevel cuts that allow at least 45 degrees. However, the more, the better.
The straight cut track saw is well-known for its ability to make straight cuts. However, the saw tracks determine how much material can be cut and how fast. These power tools have a greater cut capacity if the track is longer.
Corded Or Cordless Track Saw?
The age-old debate about power tools is whether they should be corded or not. While the best cordless tracksaws will offer more mobility and a powerful motor, the work you can do with them is limited by the battery.
Corded tracksaws, on the other hand, have a narrower range but can be extended if needed. A corded model will provide more power, as the motors are usually larger.
Our experts recommend that you weigh the advantages of portability and unlimited power when choosing the best option.
Safety
Safety can be overlooked when workers pay attention to performance. This is an important factor in choosing the best track saws. Safety of your power tool will be affected by the choice of the right saw blade. You will experience a lot of kickback and blade sticking if your saw blade is not strong enough to cut plastic.
Many saws mentioned by our experts have preventative capabilities that can reduce kickbacks. A spring-loaded, spring-loaded riving blade can eliminate kickbacks and sawblade jamming. Not only is a riving knife available for track saws but also circular and table saw models.
The protective gear is another aspect of safety. The design of tracksaws makes them safer than circular or table saws, but it is still recommended that you wear protective gear such as gloves and eye protection.
A blade guard is essential to ensure your fingers stay safe. This guard protects your fingers from the cut line.
Dust Collection System
The cleanup is next. A saw with a track system, just like a circular saw or table saw, can cause a lot of damage. A model that has dust collection built in is a good choice. This will help keep your track clean and give you a clear line of sight. It also helps to reduce the risk of inhaling harmful particles over time.
Material And Durability
Our experts recommend that you choose a saw made by a trusted manufacturer that you know and trust. While lesser-known brands may produce inferior quality products however, it is important to stick with reliable brands.
The saw blade must be made of high-quality, carbide-tipped steel. You should also consider the construction of the handle as well as the body of your saw. The saw should be strong, and the accessories must be as well. Good quality accessories such as the handle, riving knife and guide rail should also be made.
Simple Setup
Assembling the saw and track should not be difficult. As with a table or circular saw, all parts should be included with your purchase. You will only need to put the track together and plug in the corded options. Or turn on the cordless ones to get started at the job site.
Guide Rail
The guide rail is another option. The guide rail is used to direct the saw blade in straight cuts. The guide rail can be found on circular saws.
What Are The Advantages Of A Track Saw?
A track saw is lighter than a table saw and thus more portable.
A track saw has a much larger capacity than a table saw. Also, a circular saw cuts more accurately and the capacity of the table saw is almost infinite. You can purchase track add-ons and a longer track if you require more cutting space.
They are simple to use, require little setup, and can be cleaned up easily. The strong blades and multiple size options make it possible to use the tools with different materials.
It can cut through many materials and is also more versatile than other models. The track saw is capable of making ripping, miter cuts and bevel cuts up to 45 degrees.
There is also the quality of your cut. The saw cuts cleanly without any splinters. The powerful motor will ensure that you get sharp edges at an exceptional speed.
The track saw is also safer than regular circular, plunge and table saws.
How To Use A Track Saw Safely?
Safety is important. You can still injure your self despite all the safety features on the saw, if you don’t know how to use them. Now, our experts will show you how to safely operate track saws.
First, make sure to maintain your blades and check them twice before you use them. A dull knife can cause a lot of problems, including messy cuts. The right blades are needed for the correct materials. Bad edges can cause kickback, sparks and even wood-burning.
Before you begin cutting, make sure that all adjustments have been made. If necessary, adjust the depth, bevel, and riving knives, as well as activate the anti-kickback function. This is the time to use your guide rail and blade guard.
Give everything a thorough inspection before you start the saw. Once everything is in order, you can turn the saw on. To ease the user into the cutting process, the startup should take place slowly and gradually. This will allow for greater accuracy and less snags.
If you use any saw, a dust collection port is essential. Inhaling harmful debris can lead to respiratory problems. This problem can be solved by using track saws that have a dust port. However, the port or vacuum tube must be able to rotate so the saws are not in your way.
You should ensure that the cutting track is clear. You should ensure that the blade path is free from any obstructions that could hinder your operation. Anything stuck to the track can cause damage to the teeth, track, and even your project.
