Don't know if it's good or bad, but this is the cheapest track saw I have ever seen in my life.

I used this last year to build the garage storage unit using plywood. Works great for straight and miter cuts with plywoods. For hardwood, I'm quite certain that straight cuts will still work great; but the stability with miter cuts may be an issue with hardwood.

For this price, it's a steal if you're not primarily planning to do miter cuts on hardwood. You can buy the tracks on Amazon and they're compatible with popular ones from Wen, Powertrack and Makita.

As long as the hardwood is 4/4 or thinner, it can do it. But after a few BF , you'll be able to smell why it's so inexpensive. And when you do, unplug it asap and get it outside.

Personally, I'd recommend buying a regular circular saw and making a track/guide system for it. The WEN doesn't offer much in the way of dist collection, it is underpowered for most purposes, and finding a decent blade for it os a struggle due to the oddball bore diameter needed. (I think yo u can get those cheap CMT blades for like $20 , bit they're not at all like the higher end, and older models CMT was known for years ago.)

If you're patient, a 7-¼" c9rded curc deal will pop up again soon. I scored the $35 Skil from Walmart a few weeks back (it said "Open Box" but was still brand new.) And I forgot how much oomph a 15 amp circ saw can have lol.)

Now... if WEN were to have a left blade track saw, I could see it being worth it of you are right handed. The only other left blade os the Kreg, and it's not much better than the WEN at a much higher price point.

So, just be careful with this saw. Stick to minimal numbers of cuts on ¾" home store plywood. For ½" plywood, or smaller, it will perform without issue.

So good luck, and make sure that home Ins policy is up to date if you plan on cutting bevel cuts. 😜 )

Ty! You saved me from pulling the trigger on this Wen saw.

I've had this saw, the makita (corded) track saw, and now the festool 75 and I had no problems cutting up to 1.5" plywood (laminated 3/4) with it. If I wasn't trying to get rid of tools I would buy this again to have around to rip sheets of plywood because the festool is so heavy and cumbersome I avoid using it.

Go with powertec, or makita rails if you want to splurge a bit, because the wen tracks are noticeably lesser quality. And if you need to join rails be sure to leave 1/16-1/8 between them as they're not designed to be joined flush. (Or really splurge and get the makita 110" rail if you're frequently ripping whole sheets). Get a cheap rail square on amazon, and baby, you got a stew going.

If you're working with primarily boards I think you'd be better off getting a jobsite saw with an auxiliary fence and a simple sled though. Or a miter saw if you're doing more rough woodworking/construction.
