Track for Dewalt Circular Saws - FAQs
What is a track saw good for?
A track saw is excellent for making straight, precise cuts on large sheets of material like plywood, MDF, and doors. The TrueTrac Track System, paired with a Dewalt Circular Saw, ensures clean edges and accuracy, making it ideal for cabinetry, furniture making, and other woodworking projects.
Can I use my Dewalt Circular Saw with the TrueTrac Track System?
Yes, the TrueTrac Universal Guide Rail System is compatible with Dewalt Circular Saws. You can convert your existing saw into a high-precision track saw, gaining improved accuracy and control.
Is a track saw better than a circular saw?
A track saw provides greater precision and cleaner cuts compared to a standard circular saw, especially on large panels. With the TrueTrac Track System, your Dewalt Circular Saw can achieve this level of precision, making it a great choice for detailed work.
Does my Dewalt Circular Saw fit the adapter plate?
Yes, almost any 6-1/2", 7-1/4", or 8-1/4" Dewalt Circular Saw can be adapted to the TrueTrac system. The adapter plate is designed to accommodate most saw models, aligning the flat surfaces of the saw base and the adapter plate.
Do I need to drill holes in the adapter plate?
Yes, you will need to drill custom holes to mount your Dewalt Circular Saw to the adapter plate. Make sure to drill only on flat surfaces, avoiding the beveled edges that are used to guide the track.
Can I still use my Dewalt Circular Saw without the track system?
Yes, the adapter plate can remain attached, allowing you to use your Dewalt Circular Saw free-handed. The plate adds stability, making it even more convenient for tasks like cutting 2x4s without using the track.
Should I countersink the holes I drill in the adapter plate?
Yes, countersinking the holes ensures that the mounting hardware is flush with the surface, preventing it from scratching or catching on the track during use.
Why use bolts instead of clamps to mount the saw?
Bolting the Dewalt Circular Saw to the adapter plate provides a consistent, secure setup, ensuring precision. Clamps are less reliable, while bolting keeps the saw and blade properly aligned for accurate cuts every time.
What type of blade should I use with the TrueTrac Track System?
We recommend a 40-tooth Diablo or CMT orange blade. These blades are suitable for both smooth cuts on plywood 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 cumbersome to handle on a table saw. The TrueTrac Track System, used with a Dewalt Circular Saw, is portable and easy to set up, offering excellent accuracy for long, straight cuts, which makes it an invaluable tool for various woodworking tasks.
