Worked out very well and precise. Became a little too confident in using it and damaged dado jig pivot plate. Now I know why you sell the pivot plate separately. Thanks for watching out for us. Great Router Jig. I have several more projects to do.
Great Cantilever Style Clamps ,they worked perfectly with the 10/4 stock I used them on , and fast friendly service as always ! thanks.
I've been struggling to make straight cuts with a circular saw for over 20 years, ever since I first received one as a gift. Once I decided I needed some kind of track saw or track system, I evaluated several options and decided TrueTrac was the best one. I wasn't disappointed.
The weight, quality, and stability are immediately apparent. I don't think the setup is as simple as some of the alternatives appear to be, but it's worth it. Physically mating the adapter plate to the saw's baseplate results in consistently accurate cuts without fear of accidental misalignment. I can only describe the experience of reproducing the same cut multiple times to duplicate cabinets I'm building as deeply satisfying.
In addition to the quality and performance of the track kit itself, the customer support is outstanding! I had questions about attaching the adapter to my saw so I reached out for support. I got a response the next business day, and exchanged several emails and photos with Jacob. His advice gave me the confidence I needed to proceed with the installation and proceed with my projects.
The extent to which TrueTrac supports their products is not only unprecedented, but adds additional value to their offerings. They obviously stand by their products and prioritize their customers' success.
I'll definitely be making future purchases and I'd recommend them to anyone!
I recently purchased the TruTrac Square Package and just used it for the first time. What a difference it makes in not only speeding up the process of cutting wood for projects, but significantly increasing the accuracy of the circular saw. Very impressed with it so far!
First off I love the fact that this is made in the USA. All the parts are machined with great precision and it seems a lot of thought and care was put into the design. Setup was fairly easy but the real reward was making my first cut. I tried it on some plywood with the thinnest maple veneer I've seen. There was absolutely no splintering, chipping, or tear-out. I also tried it on a 10 ft piece of rough walnut. The cut was perfectly straight with probably a better finish than any jointer could get. If I had one suggestion it would be that the material that you bolt to the saw shoe could be a little tougher. I had to be super gentle countersinking pilot holes because the drill bit wanted to pull right through the soft material. Overall I would not hesitate to recommend this track to any woodworker, professional or hobbyist.
I set up the track saw system on my Dewalt saw and was very impressed with the very first cut on how accurate the cut was and how clean the was with not chatter at all on the 3/4 cabinet plywood I was ripping down. Look forward to using the system on more projects down road.
At first I was skeptical that I would be happy with my purchase, we had a couple of issues but I worked through them with Jacob and figured out that they were shipping related and we were able to get them worked out and I am happy with the gantry system

Bought my first TrueTrac I'm guessing 10 years ago, after seeing Richard demo it at a show. Quality, capable, productive system, on par with much more expensive systems. I use it constantly, easier and quicker to precisely dimension sheet goods with my TrueTrac than the tablesaw, and it's also great at trimming edges on cutting boards, tabletops, etc.. It's made my work faster and easier, but more importantly more precise with cleaner cuts. I've since expanded my system with more tracks, dust collection, and router attachment. Used a quality older Porter Cable circular saw ($75 on eBay), I invested an hour to drill and tap the saw base to bolt the TrueTrac baseplate on, for a clean, solid attachment.
Solid, adjustable, adaptable, with an ease of use and peace of mind everytime. Simply replacing the provided bolts with longer ones and I’ve been able to maintain a solid connection while ripping 3.5” thick live oak. Great product.

Purchased the 12' kit to cut long lengths of mahogany for a dinning room table. Attached the device to a 7-1/2" corded Milwaukee brand cut-off saw. Instructions were reasonably easy to understand. However, be aware that without a bit of pre-fitting, one is likely to drill the holes for the plate attachment in a place that will end up underneath the Zero Clearance Block. Nevertheless, the system worked exceptionally well.
Enormous time saver. I’ve used a number of track and plunge saws through the years. This track is by far the best, full stop. I purchased the 8’ kit with the tool free clamps and a simple square to use in tandem with my milwakee 10.25” saw to save time with a 2.5” thick oak live edge stair landing and treads I was building for a client. This saved me so many hours on that job, it has become a central tool in my shop. I previously purchased the Router Gantry system from these guys a lil over a year ago and couldn’t be happier. Tim and Jacob manufacture superior products aimed at saving time and money, and all the while provide the best customer service I’ve experienced to date. Can’t recommend enough.

Very pleased with my slab mill. Works great. I ordered a 48 x 96. One of the rails on one side had an imperfection causing it to bump when it crossed the joint. Two new rails were sent to me immediately solving the problem. All my questions were answered when I ordered and they gave me a lot of good advice on how to operate my slab mill. These guys know their slab mills.
I have several of your guide plates. one on each of a 7 1/4" circular saw and one on a 10" circular saw. I recently added one that I attached to a router base so I could route some long grooves for an inlay. That guide plate ended up with a bow / curve in it that made the router not sit true vertical. I ended up attaching an additional spacer to the router plate to help keep it true vertical, otherwise the bottom of my inlay groove would not be level with the top of the original piece.
Does everything expected with no problems. High quality stuff. Thank you.
Was having a problem with my router table
After speaking with Jacob he recommended we put a new router base on.
Shipping was super fast
Went from .18 to .03 with a new base.
Thanks Jacob for the super service.

Little bit of work on assembly and install a complete vacuum piping for it but well worth it. Had done a piece without and did a similar piece with it and was practically nothing to sweep up. Definitely worth it.
Have only used it on some smaller projects so far and very pleased. Assembly is simple. Took more time to build the table for it. Little pricey but it’s well designed and don’t really feel a need to use a drill on shaft feed.
I’ve assembled everything, but haven’t had time to actually use it yet. What a great idea in its design. I can’t wait!!!
I have a pretty well equipped shop but I have used the saw guidecut to cut pieces to heavy or aukward to lift or place on the table saw or radial arm saw
I work with mostly reclaimed lumber, which is seldom straight. This trac system is the perfect tool for getting my lumber straight and ready for assembly. I highly recommend this product!
Used the 12' track to cut my slab for my new kitchen island. Perfect!
My most recent project included 3ea. 10 quarter 10' x 17" black walnut slabs. We chose the TrueTrac system because my jointer and planer couldn't handle the length and width of the boards. The slab mill was an excellent alternative. The mill along with the Milwaukee 5625-20 did a great job. Once we got everything shimmed properly the mill and router did and excellent job. The Amana RC-2263 router bit performed flawlessly.
