Electric Track Saws
Take these saws anywhere and use the included track to make perfectly straight, splinter-free cuts in wood. They are also called plunge saws because they can make plunge cuts. Control the speed of the blade with a dial; use slower speeds for hard wood and faster speeds for soft wood. A second dial lets you have precise control over the depth of the cut. These saws also have a riving knife that reduces kickback by keeping the cut material from pinching the blade. Connect a vacuum hose to the dust port to collect up to 90% of the sawdust created so you can keep your work area clean. Optional track clamps hold the track to your workpiece.

Cordless Track Saws
Make straight, splinter-free cuts in wood anywhere in your facility. Also known as plunge saws, they mount to a precision track (sold separately) and move along the track for a straight cut. They’re more portable than a table saw and deliver the same power as an electric track saw without requiring you to be near an outlet. A high-voltage rechargeable battery gives them enough power to maintain speed while cutting through thick and hard materials. These saws have a brushless motor that optimizes battery usage, so they run longer on a single charge. It also enhances longevity—they run cool and have few moving parts that require maintenance.
These saws feature two control dials: one for speed and one for depth. Slow the blade down for cutting hard woods or speed it up for soft woods. You can also raise and lower the blade to cut at a precise depth. To reduce kickbacks, they have a riving knife, a small piece of metal behind the blade. If the material starts to kick back, small teeth grip and dig into it. Connect the dust port to a dust collector to suck up the sawdust generated by your cuts.
Some saws include rechargeable batteries. For saws where they’re not included, see DeWalt batteries and chargers and Milwaukee batteries and chargers.
An optional track connector allows you to join multiple tracks together for longer cuts. Optional track clamps hold the track to your workpiece.

Panel Saws
A circular saw mounted to a track allows you to make straight vertical and horizontal cuts in large sheets of wood and plastic that won't fit on a table saw.
Quick stops are adjustable for repetitive horizontal cuts of any length up to 96".
Extensions add 20" to each side of the saw frame for extra support when cutting wide panels.
Dust hose exhaust kit includes a 20 ft. long, 1 1/2" dia. hose and everything you need to connect it to your saw.

Track Saw Blades for Wood
Make perfectly straight cuts in wood, plywood, and particleboard with minimal splintering. These blades fit in your track saw to cut along the precision track. They make straight and plunge cuts, so they’re good for cutting a sheet of wood into precise pieces before fabrication or construction.
When choosing a blade, you’ll want to keep in mind the number of teeth and width of cut. Choose more teeth for cutting across the grain or when you want a smoother cut; choose fewer teeth for cutting with the grain (ripping) or when you want a faster cut. Blades with fewer teeth also cut thicker materials. A narrower cut width makes faster cuts with minimal material loss; a wider cut width increases stability for straighter cuts.
Blades with anti-vibration vents add stability for even straighter, more accurate cuts. They have a coating that resists heat buildup when cutting, which helps keep them sharp. They stay cool as you cut, so sawdust won’t stick to them as easily, and they won’t burn your wood.
Warning: Use blades that have a greater rpm rating than the no-load rpm of your saw.
