WEN CT1272 12-Amp 7-1/4-Inch Variable Speed Plunge Cut Circular Track Saw

I was amazed when I saw the Have you ever wanted to own It's a good time to get started. You should purchase the bare saw, and be sure to purchase the powertec tracks as well. The tool cuts flawlessly, has plenty of power and is very comfortable to use. The depth gauge is surprisingly accurate as well. The anti kickback law is not to everyone's taste, but I am not bothered by it. It is great that the saw is anti-tip and that it cuts with a score. I can't believe how much value I am getting for my money from this saw! the Makita and Festoon, You can use the first track for 4' cross cuts, then connect the other track for full 8' rip cutting. ) It is incredible that for $250, you can have a terrific system (saw and tracks), literally less than half the price of big brands for the same extent of cutting capacity. Festool does not have a dust collection system, so buying a festool over a wen is a no-brainer for me. Wen dust collection is actually quite good, so don't be fooled! There will be a bit of saw dust from each. The saw is almost all metal (a big plus for me), even though it is a little heavy. Since plastics and rubber are not used, I prefer the weight. Is it wise for me to hire There's a possibility, but there is also a possibility. Although I see no problems whatsoever with the plunge saw, I'm sure it won't hold up to beatings at the same level as $500+ plunge saws, and you should probably not be beating around an expensive piece of precision equipment like Definitely recommend on a scale of 1 to 10. DIY and small business users will find this saw ideal.

I think the most important thing to understand from my review is that you should not purchase the Oshlun 160mm blade that other reviewers have specified. As the stock blade is less than ideal, you'll want to buy a better one, but the correct size for the blade is 165mm, so the DeWalt DW5258 is the least expensive excellent choice. In the absence of an appropriate blade, the depth gauge will be wrong and the scoring function will not function. It is worth noting that I found the WEN CT9502 100-volume set My own Track Saw Track Guide Rail worked fine, so I did not need to spend additional money on Powertec guides as others have suggested, though they sound like good options. The saw works based on the following principles"

So how does it work?"? I would say pretty good considering the price point. I did get rid of the anti-virus software Like others have suggested, a kickback cam would be useful. It slides wonderfully smooth after adjusting the two guides that slide on the track, and after applying some SC Johnson's paste wax to both the sole plate and the track. As it pertains to removing the anti-virus I removed the kickback cam because it was a pain to work with, but you should do so When I was stupid and attempted to slide the saw backwards with the blade down, I had some kickback to deal with, but by holding on to the saw with both hands it wasn't too bad. I had some minor problems cutting baltic birch plywood with the stock blade it was not ideal. As soon as I switched over to the Dewalt blade, things started looking The scoring feature of the tool was vital to getting perfect cuts across the grain of the top veneer. Cuts the 2 in two as a result of actuation. Before you make a 2nd pass to cut all the way through, make a 5mm deep cut first. Although this extra step may not have been necessary if I had a Festool, the price savings outweighing this inconvenience is hard to argue with. While the blade change hole is taped over, dust collection is still very poor. Obviously, a Festool is better in this regard, but from reading the reviews, I wonder if the Makita and Dewalt track saws are any better in this regard. I am most unhappy with the fact that there are no hard cases to argue. It would be nice if at least one could be purchased But anyway, I'll try to make the cardboard box the box came in last as long as possible. This saw is remarkable, considering its price compared to the alternatives. Although some people might choose a Festool over this if they need perfection, I am not convinced the Makita or Dewalt offer enough advantages to justify the high cost, unless a hard case is a necessity and you simply wish to save a little money. As opposed to all the alternatives, the Wen saves an enormous amount of money.

There are lots of features that I would like to see included, but the only one I would want is a riving knife. Despite that, I do not think you can beat this system for the price. My experience with WEN tools I've owned previously has impressed me greatly. Initially I was skeptical of the quality, but now I've become a true believer. All of the items I own from them have turned out to be really high I'm just a guy who plays in his garage a couple of times a week thus, I'm not really creating software that is part of a production scenario. As far as I am concerned, this is outstanding!.
