Last thread for this talked about how it can't cut straight and it really isn't fit for purpose. I want a track saw badly, and I'm in the ryobi 18v system heavily, but this ain't it (according to previous thread).
I bought one at $199 over the summer when I saw it on sale (clearance?), but decided to return it before using it. I realized it just wasn't the right tool for my needs. At $130, though...that's...dang, pretty compelling.

1: So, the overall construction is a bit "plastic-y" and flex-y. I've seen a number of reviews mention that, when cutting through very thick wood (like slabs), that a fully-extended blade would lead to some blade deflection...and a slab is one of the first things I'd want to use it with.

2: The track-holding clips on the saw seem to not be very reliable when cutting 45 degree bevels, and this is again something that I would be using this for quite often.

But most of all...

3: The tracks. The thing for which I'd be using it the most is cutting down sheet goods to fit into my car, and sometimes that will mean making 8ft long cuts. The saw only comes with a 2-piece* 55" track, so that would mean I'd have to spend more money to get a longer track. And here's where it really became clear that this wasn't the saw for me. Ryobi doesn't offer a longer track. And, it's not compatible with any other tracks. So that means I'd have to purchase additional Ryobi track sections, which they do sell, but still only in 27.5 x 2 = 55" packs. However, that would mean to cut a 96" sheet of plywood the long way, I'd need 4 track sections. The reason I put that "*" earlier was because it's not really a 2-piece track. The track itself is in two sections, but then to join them, you need two connector bars, and then each bar has 4 grub screws. So that "two piece" track is really 12 individual pieces. And once you add two more track sections, 4 more bars and the grub screws, you're up to 34 pieces. And in my mind, keeping track of (and trying to keep perfectly aligned) 34 pieces to make a single occasional 96" cut just did not seem like a lifestyle I'd want to rationalize and justify because of the cost savings.

So at $130, I could maybe justify it. And I've purchased a "blemished" lawnmower from DTO, and it may as well have been brand new, and has been trouble free for a year.

Does anyone make a good track saw attachment for a regular circular saw? I have a cordless Ridgid 6 1/2" saw and it's been great for most tasks. To do longer rip cuts I've just been using a straightedge and clamps, which works OK, but it seems like having a track would be better.

Try the Kreg Rip-Cut. It's my go-to for breaking down sheets by myself.

Don't forget that this is for the tool only and doesn't include the track or batteries.

I have it and it is a good saw, especially to break down boards and for hobby woodworking. even if you have to buy and extra track you still are less than $200. If you need perfection spend significantly more on Makita, Festool or such.

Quote from Turbotalon :
How is Rigid's warranty service? I'm too deep into Ryobi to switch but their warranty seems basically useless. I called them about a brand new tool and was given options 1-2 hours away to have it assessed to see if it could be warrantied. I live in one of the most populous areas of the US so I can't even imagine if you live somewhere outside a big city. They also said I could ship it to the repair shop at my own cost to see if it qualifies for warranty. I returned it.....
I've used their warranty service about 3 times now. Most recent was last year on batteries that were about 7 years old.
For the drill (few years back), I was told to take it into a Home Depot's tool rental section to have it processed. They checked it in, tagged it. A few days later I got a message to go pick up a replacement. They had replaced with a newer brushless version.
The first time I warrantied the batteries, I took them to Home Depot's tool rental like the drill.
For the batteries last year, They mailed me two batteries and said I'd have to dispose of old batteries and provided a list of places local to me.
No issues so far, It's been about a year since I last used their warranty service and it's been ok.

Service convenience may be location dependent. I have 2-3 authorized Ridgid service centers in 15 mile radius so I'm assuming one of those would be where I would have to take a tool if warrantied.

You're too late. This sale is over (although it will probably come back if you keep watching).
