IS THIS $170 AMAZON TRACK SAW WORTH IT??
I was shocked when I saw the price tag on this 6.5″ WEN Tracksaw on amazon. I picked mine up for $170 and see them cheaper all the time on eBay. WILL IT BE WORTH IT???? Links to everything are below

SPOILER ALERT:
A longer track (guide rails) is a must in my opinion for having a good user experience… From there it’s all about price. The Powertech 110″ guide rails apparently work with the WEN track saw cost about $250 combined. A Kreg ACS tracksaw and LONG guide rails (which is the best quality/value in my opinion) rings in around $500. I think both are solid options for breaking down plywood and table tops. WEN did a great job of cutting corners in the right way (aside from the track length) and the idea of using a 6.5″ blade is a great way of getting it to a lower price point without affecting usability considering most cuts will be table tops and plywood. If you have experience with either or both let me know what you think down in the comments. Thanks!

MODERN BUILDS
Hi, My name is Mike Montgomery and I’m a MAKER; a designer, builder, and full-time content creator. Accessibility is my focus with Modern Builds, not simply accessibility of designs, but accessibility in materials, information, and projects themselves. I’ve focused on creating furniture and DIY projects that are simple enough that any beginner maker can accomplish, yet interesting enough that any expert might be inspired. Building and making is becoming less and less of an exclusive hobby and profession. My goal is to reduce that separation even further.
