Track for Makita Circular Saws - FAQs

What is a track saw good for?

A track saw is perfect for making straight, accurate cuts on large sheets of material like plywood, MDF, and doors. Using the TrueTrac Track System with your Makita Circular Saw ensures clean edges, ideal for cabinetry, furniture making, and other precision woodworking projects.

Can I use my Makita Circular Saw with the TrueTrac Track System?

Yes, the TrueTrac Universal Guide Rail System is compatible with Makita Circular Saws. You can convert your existing circular saw into a precision track saw, gaining the benefits of improved accuracy and safety.

Is a track saw better than a circular saw?

A track saw offers superior control and cleaner edges compared to a standard circular saw, especially on large panels. With the TrueTrac Track System, your Makita Circular Saw achieves precision similar to a dedicated track saw, making it ideal for detailed work.

Does my Makita Circular Saw fit the adapter plate?

Yes, almost any 6-1/2", 7-1/4", or 8-1/4" bladed Makita Circular Saw can be adapted to our system. The adapter plate is designed to fit virtually all models by aligning the flat surfaces of the plate and saw base.

Do I need to drill holes in the adapter plate?

Yes, you will need to drill custom holes for mounting your Makita Circular Saw to the adapter plate. Just ensure that you do not drill on the beveled edges, as they are used to guide the track.

Can I still use my Makita Circular Saw without the track system?

Yes, you can leave the adapter plate attached to your Makita Circular Saw and use it free-handed. The plate provides extra stability, making it even better for cutting off a 2x4 or similar tasks without using the track.

Should I countersink the holes I drill in the adapter plate?

Yes, countersinking the holes on the bottom side ensures the mounting hardware does not catch or scratch the track during use, maintaining smooth operation.

Why use bolts instead of clamps to mount the saw?

Bolting the Kreg Circular Saw to the adapter plate provides a consistent setup every time, ensuring accuracy. Clamps can be inconsistent, while bolting ensures that the saw and blade remain precisely aligned.

What kind of blade should I use with the TrueTrac Track System?

We recommend using a 40-tooth Diablo or CMT orange blade. These blades provide a balance between smooth plywood cuts and general-purpose use, making them ideal for most woodworking projects.

Is a track saw more useful than a table saw?

A track saw can be more practical for cutting large, heavy materials that are difficult to maneuver on a table saw. The TrueTrac Track System paired with a Kreg Circular Saw is portable and provides precise long cuts, making it a valuable alternative for many woodworking tasks.
