I see an awful lot of posts about track saws. I wish that someone would explain the fascination with them because I am not seeing it. I understand that they are primarily used on ripping and cross-cutting sheets of plywood. Now muscling a sheet of plywood onto my table saw is not the most desirable task however I am not seeing that there would be less muscling a sheet using a track saw unless it is laid down on the floor on top of some 2 x 4's or on top of some styrofoam. If that the case then a person would have to crawl around on the floor and that's not much fun either. Barring cutting on the floor, the other alternative would be to muscle a sheet onto some saw horses so if one is going to do that they may as well muscle the sheet onto the table saw, rip it and be done with the process. No clamping or unclamping a straightedge, wrapping up another cord etc. And I am saying this with a son who works someplace that would allow me to buy Festool products at a significant discount (which he is always trying to get me to do). I am not trying to be a wise apple here, I really don't see the attraction and wish that someone would explain it to me.
Thanks,
Hank
