I've never seen it this low. I posted it 3 days ago and it was severely thumbed down. It's even lower now! The saw as a bare tool, sells for almost the sale price of this kit. It doesn't come with a track, but this kit has the Saw, Blade, 6ah Battery, Packout, and Rapid charger. Use code "SAVEONGIFTS" to get this price. Otherwise, it's still on sale for $423.20

The saw makes it bulge out if I recall, but it does fit.

I bought the Wen. Saw is mediocre at best but the battery and charger are garbage. Saw is underpowered for thick hardwood stock, even with a Diablo blade. Burned through both 20v batteries it came with. The cells in the battery are cheap. We disassembled the charger to see if there were any defects and the soldering is atrocious. Contacted the company numerous times for battery warranty claim with ZERO response.

So even as a diy guy, I think I'll stick with the Milwaukee as I already have additional batteries and chargers since I own Red outdoor equipment and other tools for working on my vehicles. Warranty claims are much easier and there are multiple authorized repair shops in my area.

Thanks for your feedback. I won't recommend the WEN anymore as I've never used it myself I had just heard that was a much cheaper option. I have the Ryobi and it's fine with a Diablo blade. It can bog down if you rush it. For diy work I'm not in a hurry I just let it do it's thing. I paid $150 for it so it's good enough for me. If you are a pro then Milwaukee or Festool you might get your money's worth

Got mine Wednesday, works great. Made a quick test cut in some hard old white oak and it cut it like a laser - just like the Makita 36V does. I figured it'd be lighter with the one battery, but it's almost the exact same weight as the Makita with 2x 5AH. Better ergonomics on the M18 though.

I think my biggest gripe is the fact that the cam knobs for taking up slack on the track are a little easy to turn accidentally and knock out of adjustment

I can recommend the Wen tracks to anyone who needs the guide tracks. I got the saw yesterday and tried it with the Wen track. No complaints. As far as I can tell it is straight and true. The saw glides smoothly on both sections and when you cross from one to the other you can tell it did so, but doesn't bind or get too loose. I'd say the difference in tolerances is 1/32 of a turn (or less) of the dial. Very very small amount. I can dial it in where I can't imagine it has any impact on the cut quality. The anti-tip feature works just fine as well. I'll probably get good use of that when ripping 8' French cleats.

It sounds like there may be some (rare?) quality issues with Wen tracks, but I'd recommend anyone get two sets. You are very likely to get at least one good pair between the 4, then return the others if they don't pair up well. You can get 4 55" sections with connectors a few dollars more than ONE 55" Milwaukee guide (no connector).

The only thing I have to see is how well it grips the material when cutting a full sheet. If it does move a bit too easily I can always use clamps. A small price to pay to save nearly $200.

I pretty much always use clamps unless I'm just rough cutting to break sheet goods down. Material costs too much these days to mess up a finish cut.

The M18 track saw has a pretty stiff spring when you plunge it, too (compared to the Makita 36V, anyway), which probably increases the risk of accidentally moving the track.
