As a interior trim carpenter myself. This has easily become the only channel I watch. I highly value all all the woodworking information that you pass along. It’s always interesting to see how other professionals solve and build projects. Your tool reviews are top notch. Thank you for your contributions.

Thanks for taking the time to do this review. I appreciated it and you did a good job!

Great review! Like most I am wondering about other tracks. Thank you for taking the time to make the Video!

Excellent review. Very thorough. Thank you for taking the time to do this video. Can't wait to purchase this saw.

I’ve literally grown tired of watching many KZfaq woodworking channels doing constant tool reviews on products they have little experience or knowledge of or the ability to put them through their functions that a real user would need to know. This is one of very few that I was amazed by. Thanks for your time and work that went into the production and how this tool addressed your needs in a track saw. Very informative and kudos to Milwaukee for manufacturing a quality tool designed for professionals all within their battery platform. I hope their distributors carry a wide variety of blades, tracks and accessories as the Festool dealers do. The additional cut capacity and power over the Festool saw will make this a killer deal.

Nice review Spencer, I have been on the fence about which track saw I would go with, and this was very helpful.

Very good overview and review. Great delivery, very easy to listen to and understand. Thanks Spenser

Very nice review. Like how you did reasonable expectations and honest opinions. Love your videos keep them coming.

Thanks for giving us a great professional review. Your skill and opinion is valuable and much appreciated. Hope you 2023 year is going great! Cheers 🍻

I have watched several reviews on this saw and this one is the best. Very detailed and comprehensive. Nice job!

Thanks for communicating clearly and giving us very useful information for making decisions. Much appreciated. Great job!

Finally! Great review. Glad you were able to get your hands on one of these bad boys and give us your personal thoughts.

Great review! Thanks for going into so much detail. It really is appreciated!

Good, to the point review, hit all the points I wanted - even if I might be on an another battery platform, no matter, your review was concise and excellent for those who still need to decide. Thank you!

Ty for review. I have been putting off buying one for a while . This will be my new track saw

Very valuable review. Your points are all valid and well presented. Thanks

Great review. Really appreciate the effort and the information that you put out. I was looking for a track saw, and I think I'll get this one..

Nice review Spencer! Very detailed and thorough as usual.

Spencer, you’re killing it, dude! Fantastic review! Super thoughtful and thorough, informative and educational. Just as you give props to Milwaukee for nailing their demographic with this tool, I think you do the same with your content, especially and specifically with this particular review. I feel like you too have nailed your demographic. As a remodeler with a handful of years of experience who happens to be on the M18 platform, I have wanted a track saw for some time, but was wistfully waiting for Milwaukee to come out with one, and like you, hoping it would measure up and be worth the wait. I think you did a fantastic job of threading the needle of going over the features and benefits and comparing and contrasting with some of the most notable competitors that have dominated the market for years, while making your information approachable to both the pro’s who’ve been using these for years and those like myself that have maybe seen one in action once or twice, but don’t have enough experience with them to know what all to even look for. It’s great to hear from a person with as much experience and familiarity as you have with the existing tools that this stacks up well when comparing features and functionality. Really outstanding job!

thank you Spencer! as a lifetime builder myself, I really appreciate your channel and what you bring to the table! Your review was perfect and more than that its comforting to know that its coming from qualified hands! Best of luck on your future endeavors

Fantastic and best video run down. My first track saw and have to say everything was intimidating until I watched this. Thank you so much!

Thanks so much for your highly informative and extensive review. It's good to hear a review done by a professional because if you are impressed with the tool, then everyone will be. I'm glad that you were so thorough and that you are demanding of good quality because even though I'm not a professional, I get frustrated with sub-standard tools. Keep up the great work!

Thanks man! you've proven that you actually do something with these tools to be able to report on them.. your the man!!!!

Nice review! Just ordered mine. Looking forward to putting it in use.

Love the honest review. I used to be a dewalt guy but have changed all my tools over to red and black. Looking forward to getting this saw.

Awesome review!!.. i've been waiting for this track saw! didn't want to go with other brands since I'm on the M18 platform already. Can't wait to add it. I like the pack out case.. they should of at least added a tray on top of the battery area for better usage! Over all, GREAT REVIEW!!! THANKS

Great extensive review. I just received my track saw kit and really like what I see. As a DIYER I believe this saw will appeal to all trades whether you are a contractor or DIYER. I love the pack out box as it keeps all the essential components together. I can see how it might be a little large for a contractor that has to load and unload on a daily basis, but as a DIYER it is a big advantage. Great review and keep up the good work. You have a new subscriber.

Awesome review! Very useful for me. Thank you!

Spencer Lewis is my spirit carpenter. So glad you did this review! I have the ts55, but I do a lot of new home work and have been debating the Makita or tsc55 battery saws just for the convenience. You answered every one of my questions. Thanks so much for this, and all of your other solid content.

Best detailed video by far! Thank you!

Very well done. I am a big user of Milwaukee 18v Fuel equipment. This is making it easy for me since I am moving to Sweden and I can take everything with me.

Great review. Would enjoy a shop tour on how you've set it up for your work flow.

Damn Spenser…that was a thorough review…thanks for that!! For me, it’s a no brainer purchase as I’m balls deep in Milwaukee…this will be my next purchase! Thanks again…very much appreciate the deep dive on this tool!!!

Brother you did an excellent job on this review. Thank you!!!

Just got my new Milwaukee track saw yesterday. Anxious to try it out. Going to rip and crosscut some birch today. Doing some video research now and I thank you!

I borrowed a friends Makita corded for a week recently and could not believe I never thought of purchasing one before now. I just ordered a Milwaukee kit because I already have a few milwaukee m18 tools. (I did order Makita tracks that were on sale and was told they are compatible) I’m really looking forward to trying it out when it arrives next week. Thanks so much for this video, great job!

Thanks so much for such a thorough review!

Purchase decision made I’m getting one asap Great review Spencer all the things as a Festool owner wanted to know covered, just like with the m18 nailer which I purchased from your review and couldn’t be happier. This will make my life so much easier as I’m Milwaukee on site and Festool in the work shop. Now I won’t need to keep taking one backwards and forwards 👍🏻

Very good, concise review....appears to be great saw

I'm a general wood cutting guy, this video means a lot coming from a carpenter such as yourself. Even though I don't have a bunch a cutting with a track saw in getting this next month for sure!

Thanks for the good review Spencer.

Awesome review. I'm moving from Ryobi to Milwaukee and was looking for a track saw. Had my eye on the festool, but really didn't want to have to festool up with batteries etc. I'm just a hobby woodworker, and your opinion on tools sets very high on my list of who to trust. Thanks for doing this review and comparing this to your festool saws.

Great review! I'm glad they made this one distinctly for professionals. Ryobi is their DIY line and they have a track saw for those folks.

Thanks for the info on the Milwaukee trac saw looking at needing one. Thanks for your time ❤ 11:37

Well done Spencer. Glad Milwaukee is not compromising quality. It looks like they are going after the pro market to compete with Festool and other foreign brands that have been associated with the pro market for years. I recently bought the M12 pin nailer and am very happy with it.

Thank you for the in depth video on the new track saw.

Super review, I have a construction company in the Netherlands. We always look your reviews for we buying new tools. 👍

Well prepared review Spencer! I couldn't wait the 5 years, and went with Makita including the rails. Primary use is cutting/scribing faceframed prefinished cabinetry, for installs. I tend to cut lots of nails and staples,so I reversed the arbor flange and use standard 40t 5/8 blades. Flipping flange off sets the blade,so splinter guard is matched for this on all 3 dedicated tracks. Thin blades will walk sideways,so slow feed rates or multiple passes. So speed is roughly the same as full kerf blades,am just using more cheaper blades. I like ,and am changing to the Bosch/Mafel/Metabo rail system . Clamping area is closer the cut-linw,and rails are stiffer.

Fantastic review if I hadn't already bought the latest cordless festool on August because I couldn't wait any longer I would have jumped on it

That was a terrific review! If I weren't losing my eyesight I'd start a side hustle to get myself one. At almost 70 I still love anything requiring wood in its construction. From the smells to the way it responds to the touch. Keep up the great work and keep 'em coming!

Great review. Thorough from a user’s viewpoint. Thanks for noting that my Festool dust vac will attach easily. I have been using M18 and M12 circulars on the KREG track system while I waited for Milwaukee to release their track saw. Works OK. Much better than nothing. I wish you had compared a Milwaukee track section to the Festool track for any notable differences.

Thanks for the content and sharing your knowledge! I remember when Festo (that was the name in Germany then) came out in the beginning of the 90' with the first track saw with plunging capability. It was a game changer! I went through a apprenticeship in Germany and worked about 16 years in the trade there in Germany, had a small business in KS for a few years also. After moving between overseas and stateside, I wasn't able to continue in the trade. Watching your videos brings back memories. How much would I give to join you on your job side to learn from you! Let me know if you need a helper, I won't charge. 😉

Really value your opinion... Good quality review .. thank you.

Great review, you really put a lot of detail in it. NICE 👍 Definitely more excited about this saw now after watching. I do wonder if there would be any minute differences at all with the Milwaukee tracks.

I’m impressed with that stars graphic haha! Awesome to see you keep learning in all aspects👍🏽!

Festool head engineer told me if you turn the speed down from 6 to 5 you will get 25% longer run time out the battery with virtually no discernible difference in quality of cut.

Great video! It DOES FIT in that smaller packout box you have at 17:25 if you turn it on its side. Milwaukee even sells pre-fitted foam that fits that box so you can cut it to hold the saw on its side and fit the charger and multiple batteries!

Really good video. Can't wait to till 2024 when we get them in the UK 👍

This was a great video. Good, useful info. I never got around to having or using one of these. I never worked on the high end market you do and the shop I had had been put into mothballs years ago after my wife passed away. I thought about buying 1 a few years ago, but I wasn't going to pay for a Festool for what little I would use it. This I would probably have bought. Years ago 20-25, I would have bought it just to have it. I had the shop I could use it in. Those days are long gone😟😟. Anyway, great review. Thank you, Ron

Great video. I’ve been waiting for this saw. Now I can sell my Festool cordless saw and pickup the Milwaukee since I have the Milwaukee platform.

Damn this was in depth! Thanks for the info

Awesome review, thank you

Fabulous review!!!

Nice saw and review, have makita cordless, deep in that platform, it has excellent performance but depth adjustment is marginal and no zero splinter guard, young carpenters are lucky the cordless revaluation is incredible. Thanks buddy

Just Bought the tool through affiliate link to support your work. Really appreciate the channel! I'm starting my own trim company and i value all your information. I'm learning a lot of tricks that i look forward to using. I'll be buying lots more through your links to support your work. once again, i appreciate it.

I got to say I have been waiting for this saw a long time!! I’m on all Milwaukee batteries and corded delwalt miter saw/ table saw If this saw can take the place of a festool track saw that would be amazing Copy festool and make it better!!!!

Excellent review!

I love it when a toolcase or systainer has some extra space. You can use that extra space for your set of guide rail clamps and rail connectors. Make 2 removable boxes, one for the clamps and connectors and maybe some other items like the FS-rapid Clamp and a limit stop, and one box for your spare zawblades...That keeps you from carrying an extra box or systainer for your guide rail accessories.

Spencer, I have been waiting to see this saw in the "wild." Your review of it sealed the deal for me. I am already on the M18 platform, but will not buy something just because it's red. Great review. Thank you very much.

Looking forward to a future update after you've run it through the paces. Found your previous track saw video comparing the corded TS75, battery 55, and mafell super helpful. Nice to hear I wasn't the one who thought the TS75 was a bit underpowered. I recently got the milwaukee table saw and was ridiculously surprised at how smooth it was. I had to rip some tilt fillets on it recently... full depth at a 15 degree bevel and it was better than any job site saw I've ever used. If the brushless motor on the track saw is anything like their table saw I'll be purchasing one shortly.

Great review! 👍

Very nice thorough review 💯💯👍

Excellent review as always Spencer. You definitely did a thorough review. It seems you will be using your Festool tracks with the Milwaukee track saw… I noticed that the Milwaukee track has an anti tilt lip on their track to help prevent the saw from tipping when you have the Milwaukee tracksaw set for a beveled cut. It may not make a difference for most people…

Great review. Thanks

Great review, top drawer commentary

Thank you very much from uk…… based on your review I will now purchase…..👍🏻

I think that saw is cheaper than anyone else.. And ur work and ur review im gonna get one im not a wood worker like u but i want a track saw thanks for the video.... Keep it up brother

Great review 👊 Respect

Awesome video Spencer! 🤌🏻

Spencer, thank you for your excellent videos. I've been building cabinets for new home construction for 40+ years. When Festool introduced their track saw many years ago, I immediately bought one and got very good service from the tool. I had been using my homemade version before this and knew the advantages of a dead straight cut. Well, when Makita came out with their cordless version, I got one of those. I can honestly say that the Makita has performed for me better than the Festool saw, and no cord is a "no brainer". As far as batteries lasting, I am most impressed with the Makita. It just goes and goes and I use 5.0 batteries. You should give it a try. Just my humble opinion. Thanks again for all of your schooling!

Hi Spencer, I appreciate your videos a lot and the knowledge you possess and the humility you have as well. I'd like to inform you, and other viewers: Do not make adjustments to the opposite slide spacers of the rail adjustment. 1.) Moving the blade to the right (when looking from the top while cutting) doesn't reposition the 45° cut correctly, bc if you did, it would then move the blade away from the 0° cut too. Same problem, different position. If you wanted to fix the 45° cut position, you have to move it DOWN. Which means it's a design flaw. Minor but still. The splinter strip just needs to be thinner by 1/32" or so. Maybe 3/64" Draw it out on paper. 2. I tried doing that and it snapped the threads on the aluminum shoe. The screws have a collar that prevent it from being tightened too much. You should remove the part of the video regarding adjustment of the left side guide adjustments.

Great job brother!

Great I can sell my festool and get this one instead. I’m in the Milwaukee platform and it will be great to have cordless saw. You review convinced me. Specially since the Festool tracks works with Milwaukee.

Great review.. I'm 30 years in the high end trades and you sir are impressive. I dont say that often. I actually learn a lot from this young man. Definitely respect the quality and professionalism. A role model for all. Ok great review. I am kinda disappointed in festool over there Kapex. For the price there should be a clear difference in every way including service .. the tools In my opinion and I've been using festool for 20 years ,they are twice the price and still just barley lead the pack. Good to see the a reasonable cost. Thanks.

Page 4 of manual in box gives depths of cuts-at 0 degrees it is 2 1/4" and 45 degrees it is 1 5/8"-I too had to find too in manual and felt exactly as you described! Nice video!

Great video. I put far more weight in a review from a craftsman like you (whose primary job is to USE the saw) over the myriad of KZfaqrs whose primary job is tool reviews.

Thank you for the in depth review Spencer, I was hoping you'd review this saw when it came out. I have the corded Makita and have no complaints other than it being corded, which is a pro sometimes and a con others, obviously mobility on the job site being the biggest. One thing I didn't see mentioned in the review, I thought I remember seeing that the Milwaukee has the anti tip feature for bevels and scoring feature like the Makita does, can you confirm? Those are two features I find very useful and efficient on my Makita.

Great informative video! You mentioned it felt equal to Festool TS 55… noticed your’s is TSC55 REB. The newer model is TSC55 KEB that states much more power & faster cuts with thinner blades and their anti-kickback electronics. Results in 40% longer battery life. Curious how the Milwaukee would perform if it performs similar to older… New Festool may have the edge over M18

Nice, it’s about time!

Concise review!

Great review. They could have added extra blade storage in that big packout.

Great review. Wondering though, what is the base of the saw made of material wise?

I've been waiting for this saw for four score and seven years.

Thank you I wish I saw this video earlier but I just bought a Makita track saw

only review i need to see. gotta have it.

In the UK the bare saw is £499 which is around $600 US. Crazy! In the states $399 for the bare unit. Thanks for the great review.

Thank you, very detailed video 👍. I thought it has a pre cut function, it will do it with a deapth stop block like my TSC 55.

Great presentation. I enjoyed your thorough review. A few questions. If using smaller blades (Festool) does the roving knife present s problem if you are doing a scoring cut? And will one of the trays that come with the large tool packout or rolling packout fit in the wasted space beside the track saw?

I wanted one but for the price I went with Festool. I just ordered our first track saw yesterday. I'm so excited.

My kit arrived today! It's killing me being in the car waiting to go home.
