Can anyone tell me why this doesn't show up under my "Tools" or "Tool" search, even though I uploaded it, and another item recently, in the Tools category?

In for two. Frankly though, these are literally just strips of rubber with some adhesive... this should be the normal price šŸ™„

FWIW: You can peel & restick these to get more life out of them... and a heat gun will help with cleaner removal

I agree... they charge wayyyyy too much for their tracks and stuff.

I bought several of the makita track connectors on Ebay when a guy had 6 of them, new, for $11 (after shipping) and no one else bid on it... do I got lucky, because there's no way I'd pay $20-$30 each, for those.

I destroy mine fast because I'm forced to use the XSH03Z with the track adapter. And it's not very accurate, but it's still the best left blade track (capable) saw option on the market.

I'll never understand how righties wouldn't want a tracksaw to use to the right side of their body, while ripping lumber.

I just use my left hand. NBD.

(*This is about track saws only. All other saws have variables that a track saw does not.*)

Well... not throwing you to the wolves, but if you don't have a left hand, it is a BFD. Lmao.

I used to be a lefty, and track saws were the one tool we could say "yayyy we finally get to show righties what almost every other tool is like!!!"

But I get it, I'm like one of maybe 1,000 people in NA alone with this tool issue. So I don't expect the world to accommodate me.

But using your left, with the saw to your left would you still consider it a tool for righties?

I mean, for crosscut, it doesn't matter. But if your ripping and you could have the saw to your right, and the blade reversed to the left, it would make it so much more user friendly. But it's strange, companies don't make them... Especially since 90% of power tool users are considered righties.

There's plenty of scenarios wher Left blades are superior (with track saws) like if you're ever doing beveled Rips in 2x lumber for things like French cleats, the left blade, in your right hand, will point the blade away from you. If it in your right hand, the blade points at you.

Just think of this... Kreg... the plastic diy pocket hole company... they make the ONLY left blade track saw in the world, and it's a brushed, corded $400 (with a track) pos. Lol. But they sell tons. Why? Not because they want an overpriced WEN, lol, but because it's a left blade. That's $$$ that Festool, Makita, Bosch, Dewalt, and soon, Milwaukee is missing out on.

If Festool would make a ts75 with a left blade, and sell it at a ridiculously overpriced $1,500 , I and many others would buy it right away. (But Festool told me "We will never make any left blade saw." And that means Makita and everyone else won't either, because all they do is go down the pyramid of copying the next highest quality tool. They don't think, they just copy.)

The crazy thing is, these companies would sell so many. I mean, if you could buy say a corded Makita for $300, or a corded Kreg (a company that has NO OTHER POWER TOOLS) for $300, which route would you go.

And in the end, it's a matter of righties not knowing what theyre missing. They don't have, and have never tried a left blade "Track Saw" that they can compare it to. And if they tried the Kreg, then I don't blame them for thinking left blade track saws are šŸ’© lol.

Sorry about the Novel... but it's truly a "Let them eat cake" situation. Once a "Good Left blade track saw comes out, righties will learn what lefties already know.... Right blade track saws are built for lefties.

So next time, just imagine the blade being on the left, and how that would benefit you, I'd you are a righty. And, if the $600-$1800 saw system you have, should be better.

I am a righty, and since I have less than zero control over what tool companies produce I just use my left hand to use my saw, and if I need to go from a specific direction I use my left blade saw. I don't have a track saw. I use the subcompact with an adapter, same with my other left blade skilsaw, just use an adapter.

Left blade saws would be totally useless if you lost your right hand.

Ha, yeah, that was a hard pill to swallow for me too, but without it, I have no track long enough to rip an 8ft sheet of plywood in one go.. and I really don't fancy spending $200+ on one of those longer tracks, not to mention have a dedicated home for something that long.

I admire your passion about cutting things. Also I thought Hilti made a lefty saw. But I might be wrong, I usually am.
