So I figured this might be a good topic to bring up as I had some experimentations this weekend. What is your track saw technique to get the cleanest square cuts possible for crosscutting and ripping lumber. Sheet goods is really simple and easy and I haven't found techniques to be any kind of an issue there for myself. However, if you have the upur issues at one time with shet goods please inform. I found that I always use my left hand and only my left hand on the left side of the track. So I stand on the cutting side of the track all the time. I experimented a little bit and found I get I consistent cuts with two hands on the saw. I am not sure why and am going to take a few 4k videos with my go pro and try and see what is different. Also if I stand on the right aside and use my right hand my angle is off by about 1 degree. I believe I must just put pressure inwards towards the guide rail causing it to tilt slightly. I also found that when my AC shit off my Mft top sagged between my stringer supports of the table. This had major problems for cutting on that area. So I moved to the edge of the table and cuts where again square and perfect. I always use rip dogs and bech sogs for squaring my rail and material and haven't had any issues there since my Mft is CNC'd not homemade. I also use off cuts to shim my rail to the perfect height.
I look forward to how everyone's technique of the Tracksaw. I always like trying new things and learning more about my tools and different ways of use.
