I've been torturing myself with the purchase of a track saw. Really want one to simplify cutting sheet goods for a million cabinet/built-in projects I want to do in my little workshop. Tired of roughing to size with a circ saw and then final on TS. So after weeks of research into the 3 primary competitors (festool, dewalt, and makita) I just pulled the trigger on the Makita. And one reason is this deal.
Home Depot has it listed for $319 w/ the 55" guide rail or $268 as a bare tool with free shipping to your house. Deal is good thru 1/31. It's back-ordered but said they expect shipping mid Feb and won't charge card until it ships. I also bought the 118" guide rail for $259 including shipping from another website: FactoryAuthorizedOutlet.com. HD's price was a bit cheaper but the truck shippng would have been almost $100. That puts my saw with two rails at $600 if I include the $22 sales tax that HD charged. The Dewalt set-up with both rails is listed in some places for as little as $548 but I've called every vendor on the internet and it's not in stock anywhere and Dewalt has none so wait time is totally unknown. The Festool starts at $585 with a 55" inch track non negotiable and the longer track is over $300.
Thought you all might be interested. Happy shopping. Can't wait to get mine.
