TrueTrac vs Other Track Saws

Since we're not worried about selling you another saw you probably don't really need, our efforts went into designing a track that was modular, easy to use, and accurate.

The detailed highlights about our track saw system are:

• You get to pick the saw!
• Left handed, right handed, battery powered, worm drive, or specialty saws - Virtually any saw from 6.25 inch blade diameter up to 8.25 inch diameter fits on our standard adapter plate, with a specialty plate available for 10.25 inch saws.
• What does that mean? No specialty metric blades, no tinkering with the plunge mechanisms on off-brand saws, just simple freedom to choose the brand and model that you prefer (or that you already have!).

• Robust track design
• Almost twice the weight per foot of the Makita/DeWalt/Festool tracks.
• Heavier wall thicknesses were required for the dovetail connectors to work correctly and came with the added benefit of making a truly solid track that you can rely on.
• When you pick up the track, it actually feels like something that's going to last.

• Easy, Self-Aligning modular connections allow expansion
• Reliable self-alignment is made possible by using 6" long dovetail gibs for connectors.
• Dovetails ensure alignment in both the horizontal and vertical planes simultaneously allowing for precise joining every time.
• We've got a variety of companies and individuals that have 20+ feet of track they string together -- Anything from saw mills trimming rough sawn lumber to cabinetry or counter top companies doing solid top counters!

• Opposing bevels remove all side-to-side play
• The plate is designed to only ride on those beveled edges, removing the need for a built-in camlock system in the saw base found on other systems.
• Alignment and control of the saw and plate are automatic upon placement on the track.
• The saw plate is HDPE, similar to composite decking material, and has excellent wear characteristics - As an added bonus because of the geometry, if the plate wears under extreme use it will actually wear to a tighter fit rather than a looser one.

• Center keyway keeps the plate and saw from drifting off the beveled edges
• Literally the reasoning behind adding the center groove boils down to this:
• "It's easy to fall off of a hill, but it's pretty hard to fall out of a ditch" - Richard Rhodes (Sorry Dad, had to put this in here just for a chuckle <J>)

• Anti-Chip Strips are easily replaceable and provide a line-of-cut indicator
• The "T" shaped slots on either side of the track allow the anti-chip strips to be easily swapped out if they become damaged or excessively worn over time (generally last ~2 years)
• The first time you use the system, you will trim the anti-chip strip to your particular saw and blade combination - After that, unless you change saws or blade types, you'll know exactly where your line of cut will be.

• Anti-Slip properties are incorporated directly into the anti-chip strips
• Working with a dual durometer extrusion process, our anti-slip material is bonded permanently to the bottom of the anti-chip strips, uniformly along the entire length.
• This design removes the need for double-sided tape, or for other adhesive strips that could mar work surfaces or easily come disengaged at higher or lower temperatures found on external job sites.
  
  
• You're dealing with a family owned and operated business based out of southern Ohio.
• Everything we sell, barring the toggle clamps (hard to find those reasonably stateside) is made in the U.S. - Even the main track shipping boxes that we have custom made in Dayton, OH
• At TrueTrac Saw, we stand behind our tools, so if you ever have a question, problem, or if something breaks due to a manufacturing defect (if you run over your track with a truck, that doesn't count...) we'll take care of you without any issues. Just let us know and we'll do what we can!
