PSA RYOBI Track Saw available for purchase - $329

Very cool. I'll wait to get it, but very cool.

price is too high imo, but great addition to their lineup

.
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.

Whyyy??? Why buy a Ryobi at a makita price?

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.

This is good! A bit overpriced but once they get to Direct Tools Outlet their price will be too hard to pass!

The guy in that This Old House video was a bit sketchy with his finger placement at a few points - gave me the heebee jeebees.

In the Q&A home depot rep is saying to buy kreg accutrack lol.

Been wanting a track saw but not sure about this one yet.

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.

The Q&A you're referring to is telling the person to buy the Kreg kit to expand the tracks beyond the 55"

I'll wait for lumber prices to normalize before getting something like this but thanks for the heads up

You can get the Wen track saw and 100" of track for $165 at Home Depot. It's corded, but I still love mine.

"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.
