Worked well

I bought this because I wanted to make a sliding barn door and needed to be able to rip a long sheet of plywood. It performed well. Great saw for the price. I also bought the tracks and the clamps. I didn't actually use the clamps.

Impressive little saw for it's intended use
Rating: 5
I was in "need" of another track saw since my $500 one went bad after very very little work ( 2 days maybe 40 cuts)so I thought I would try the hundred dollar variety especially since I blew my top at the other and drilled it into the cement so no warranty. I must say in the 10 cuts I have done I am impressed for a bushing driven saw. The motor didn't even get real hot in 1/2" and 3/4" plywood on 4-8" cuts. I used my table saw until this came in but missed the speed of these vs table saw.

the saw could work if they gave you the track for the saw and or had the right one with it.
