I'd suggest you look at the TSC 55. That and the HKC are my go-to saws. In the last year, I've only pulled out the TS 55 ONCE. I actually think the TSC with 2 batteries, has more power than the corded TS. The TSC doesn't seem to bog down when pushed like the TS 55 does.

I'm a big fan of the HKC, used mine just the other day and all cuts were 100% accurate in pressure treated wood.
Started off on the MFT3+TS55 but switched to the HKC because it was more accurate and easier.

Question, is the extra kg of weight with the TSC vs corded noticeable or not really since its running on the rail?

Just to throw the cat among the pigeons for the lovers of the Makita tracksaw, the cordless 18vX2 brushless version is now available in the US and I assume in Canada too. - not sure on rest of world
Based on specs has more rpm than the corded version.

Like I said, I haven't used the TS 55 lately but the TSC is noticeably heavier when lifting or placing it but once on the rail it's all the same.  [cool]

I also like the depth control adjustment better on the TSC, it's a one-handed affair. The control on the older TS takes both hands to operate.
