Not really a deal, just retail price but I've been wanting to purchase this track saw since they announced a few months back. Finally it's available for order with 61 tool only to order when I ordered mine and 71 kit version with 4ah battery and charger going for $399
. Just make one[youtube.com] with no need to have another saw. These have been used by everyone since I was a kid and nothing new. You still have to measure with either, so not saving any time to spend a lot more money.

Judging by the comments, there's a good number that haven't used a track saw.
This isn't a circular saw. I've only used a Festool track saw from a friend who does a ton of wood and carpentry work, and it's been so useful for plywood. It's accurate, makes very clean cuts, and has saved me a lot of time during renovations.
I imagine this track saw will offer a lot for the price, and might keep an eye on what it does come BF.

I did before finally getting the festool one. One thing that the made for track saws have an advantage is the dust collection. it makes a huge difference.

"Judging?" ... From the six prior posts, a bit condescending from one so ignorant. Of course a track saw is a circular saw with the addition of a controlled plunge cut that you can easily do with a cheap wood jig. Seriously, how many plunge cuts does one make when ripping sheet goods?
Ryobi already makes a corded version (T-1200) track saw that nobody bought and discontinued in the US. This 18v Ryobi is a plastic toy that will be half this price in the near future. Not remotely a deal, not sure why it is even posted on SD.
Nothing the matter with Festool that has superior customer service that you pay for. But, wait until you have to replace that blade on the one your borrowed. 20mm arbor is not exactly a common size in the USA. Meanwhile, if you just have to have one, there are lots of quality track saws like Mafell, Makita and a couple others sold in the USA. Personally, I never understood why a home hobbyist would use higher cost, lower power battery tools in a garage that has electric outlets everywhere.
Meanwhile, we sold our Festool from a deal with it's proprietary blades and invested in upgrading one table saw to a sliding table saw that for ripping sheet goods by one person, is exponentially faster and more accurate for repetitive cuts like cabinetry or duplication. Measure once and cut a 100 about as fast as you can push them through. Track saws are just too slow with measuring every time with often a fraction difference with repetition. Heck, if breaking down sheet goods, chalk a line, get close with a cheap circular and recut on table saw that you can buy with the savings for repetitive precision every time.
