ts 75 track saw

[bearpaw]

I hunted for a month or so and finally drove 200 miles out of the way to get my track saw. I would do it again. We have cut aluminum panels for signs, prefinished commercial doors, plywood, osb, white oak and store fixtures with this saw. It has performed flawlessly on every task we have put to it. My only change would be a depth guide in sae instead of metric ( old school i know). I have used the kit to attach 2 tracks worked great no problems.
I hope everybody enjoys theirs as much as i do mine. It was my first festool the beggining of an expensive addiction.

I think some one on ebay sells a stick-on sae scale for Festools.

On mine I wrote on a 1" wide strip of masking tape the corresponding  mm to cut 1/4", 1/2", and 3/4".  Those are the three depths I almost always need and it's really fast without buying something.  I think its something like 3/4" ='s 28mm, 1/2 ='s 20mm and so on. Works great if you're looking for the free option.

The mm I put on my tape are what I need when the saw is on the rail, and so that the blade goes through the material just slightly.  Nothing worse than having to make a second cut because the depth was too shallow. I personally don't really like that the graduations on the saw are for without the rail.  If I need to make a free hand cut I use my other saws. But it would be nice to have both graduations on the scale for  with and without the rail.

Great idea I will set in up and give it a try

1/4 in. = 6.35 mm
1/2 in. = 12.70 mm
3/4 in. = 19.05 mm
1 in. = 25.40 mm

Excellent choice. (Check out my signature line ;-)

There's a company listing for third party products for festool. It's under the jigs section. A compsny sells imperial guide stickers for the track saw and routers. Very helpful.
