- It's finally here!! The Milwaukee track saw is a tool everyone has been waiting for. Will this be the best cordless track saw on the marker? Let me know in the comments if you will be picking this up, or if you already invested in another platforms track saw? Will be using and building up a full review video over the next while as well as maybe a full track saw comparison video so stay tuned and subscribe to follow along for more videos!

Haven't seen 1 initial review yet that isn't impressed with this saw which makes me even more impressed. Thank you for your time.
Track saws as a concept, are fantastic. I’ve almost retired my table say. I can’t speak to the Milwaukee, but the Makita LXT has enough guts to cut through soap stone and leaves an edge that’s good enough for counter tops.
Mine came in last week, just in time for our next big build! Thank you, Kyle, for your in-depth review. As always, professional (minus the depth change, lol).
Will be neat to see how this compares with your existing track saw work, I thought you had great idea bringing them on the work site. Thanks Amigo for the vids looking forward to the next.

Nice explanations sir, i have the cordless 36 v makita track saw and i think this Milwaukee will perform very well.
Another great tool review like always ... can't wait to own one .. thanks
Nice! Was waiting for you to review this!
Thanks for doing this review. Been wanting to get this one.
That's a sweet looking track saw! They finally got one to the market and it'll make people happy
Unfortunately it's a Chinese owned company, I won't buy anything owned by China you people better start waking up or you'll be speaking Chinese
I've been waiting for this, the only cordless battery platform I have that has a track-saw is now Milwaukee, I'm going to get one, but man the exchange rate is killing me, the $399 bare tool with shipping, etc is going to cost me 59,000 yen which in round figures is like $600 to me LOL still going to get one for sure!
I have the Festool tracks, and my corded Festool TS55 EQ will now live in my workshop.
Cheers from Tokyo!

Thank you for the review straight forward.
Looking forward to the comparison video going to get a track saw soon and platform doesn't bother me so very interested to see your thoughts
WooHoo Toolsday 2023.
This a fake channel
Great review on tools as always. Like others have said, considering the amount of time in development and seeing what others had on the plate. There is no wow factor per say. Good competition for Makita price point wise except the M18 tracks are more money.
I have the Makita love it .Corded version I'm good with cord. I'm 3rd generation age of about 60.Grew up with cords.I do remember my Bosch 7.2 volt drill.Came out in the 80s Must give credit to the very first cordless. (The Yankee screwdriver )
Drop the cord. Batteries make life easier.
Thanks Kyle. Awesome video. 👍😁
Great video Kyle. I have the Makita 36v and would definitely love to see a comparison as I despise the x2 design and incremental weight. If 18v has the power - even with less run time- I’d prefer it. After all most investing in a tracksaw are going to have additional batteries.

This thing looks pretty great. I ended up getting the kreg version just due to price and how often I actually use it. Would love to switch to this simply because it's cordless and I use milwaukee everything already.
Hello Kyle, it was nice seeing you at the I Build Show 👍🏼 great review video 👍🏼
I'm happy to see more distributors setting up affiliate options. The way Amazon operates is very hostile to small businesses by leveraging data from 3rd party sellers on their platform to eventually push out the 3rd party sellers in the most profitable areas. Thank you for featuring a different distributor.
All affiliates are cancer. No matter what, the incentive is to get you to buy something…meaning there’s no reason for anyone to every say you don’t need something.
@@Jeffsdata_0 That's only true if promoters can only recommend a single product or not close which product to recommend. Fortunately we're not in Soviet Russia and so there are many products that could be recommended.
Great video on the track saw Kyle
Awesome video sir keep up the good work
Wonder how well the dust collection would be with a vacuum instead of the bag.
I'm not on the m18 platform but would be nice for milwaukee to make some locking vacuum collars so the hoses don't fall off mid sanding job
I'm another one who got sick of waiting and bought a Makita, but I bought the corded version because I refused to have yet another battery system. Everything else cordless that I own is Milwaukee, but I'm not sure how I can justify buying this saw...
I'm no fan of Milwaukee, but this looks pretty decent. I do like the riving knife idea, it's a pain in the arse when the timber behind closes up makes cutting bloody hard
Love Your tool reviews! Miss Your toolsday Tuesdays....
This tracksaw looks great but prefer my Bosch GKT55 CGE.
A fan from Sweden, Europe
Looks pretty nice although I just got the cordless Makita couple of months ago, really like it ❗
I would love to see a track saw comparison.
A friend I used to have had a cabinet shop. He had a 14" ALtendorf Table saw. It had a small blade in front of the 14" blade to under scribe the material before the 14" blade went through. He also had a Given panel saw with a 20" blade and an under scriber.
What’s this have to do with the Milwaukee track saw? Lol
@@jakewrtt if you paid attention, he was talking about the setting for scribing before cutting
Great review. Looking forward to seeing this saw in action out in the field. I would love to see a comparison between the other track saws you have and this one as well. Thanks for the great video, as always.
Nothing new, its the same price as theFestool version here in Ireland over 1300 euro for the full kit saw ,2x 5.5 batteries ,2x 1400 rails , rail bag and packout case..........Id imagine most people willgo for the festool as you can buy a lot more add on for the Festool saw which makes it more versatile
Thanks for sharing! Just grabbed mine today and that was helpful before I go use it to cut pvc deck boards tomorrow. Also what kind of blue tooth hearing protection do you like best. Will need to be using it in running equipment and around power tools as you probably use it for as well.
Best day ever. Thank god it is Tuesday!
Is this real. I fell for this once and did not work out.
Awesome saw
I'm waiting for Homedepot to postup the promos deals
Tool’s day! Miss the introductory jingle.
It also has a great brake.
I'm fairly deep into the M18 tools and batteries. The only thing keeping me from buying this saw (so far) is that my corded track saw is the Bosch which uses different tracks.
Yeah I can see that.
Kyle, I was wondering if you can show us all the Metabo tools you have and give us an honest review on them?
Thank God Milwaukee...it is about time. About time, indeed.
Please review the new Milwaukee M12 3-Plane Laser 3632-21 along with the Laser Line Detector. Great video thank you!
I would like to know as you use it on the job, how long the battery lasted. How many cuts between reduction of bars..
Hi Kyle
Can you add to the comparison video a bosch track saw as well?
Great tool review. Thanks
Kyle is new "Tim the toolman." keep going.
Wow, that is a neat machine. Indeed its got some power, is quiet and stops really quickly. I was curious whether Milwaukee will put a riving knife in their new plunge saw which they have. Then I find after purchasing the new festool which no longer have a riving knife, instead a blade that stops the machine anytime the saw is lifted. Great video. Thanks for uploading.
Yes I have that festool. Interesting change.
Awesome content thanks
@meonamrrbuildings Appreciate it
ive just got the Mafell kss40 love to see the difference between this and Milwaukee ps I love packouts I have too many
Hikoki track saw has been revealed. We should be getting one soon in the states
Great overview! Been a Red fan a long time. My only gripe is how do they sell these track saws and the tracks are sold separately? Can’t use the saw without a track. I mean it’s like buying a car and it arrives with no wheels. 🤷🏼♂️
Yeah man it's like why are the milk and the cereal in separate aisles? I gotta walk all the way over there? Forget it!
Milwaukee comes out with an M12 2" handheld planer. I'd love to see it when it comes out. I have some remodeling to do and I am wondering what good applications it could be used for.
Hand help planers are great for flushing up studs or floor joist.
More tools is always good.
Everybody does reviews but until i hear what Kyle has to say I ain't buyin' shit 🤣🤣🤣
I have the dewalt and makita track saws. Personally I love the dewalt, I think it is a more robust saw meant for heavy duty applications, the plunge doesn't bother me and I like the anti kickback feature on the saw.
The makita for me is I think more of a tool used for things like woodworking due to it being lighter and having better dust collecting. Either way though you can't go wrong
Couldn't agree more, dewalt tracksaw (like all dewalt tools lol) is a robust machine that can take a beating and still work and work. I use it for pretty much everything onsite, sheet goods, fibre cement good, hardwoods etc.
I do find that im lacking some fine tuning options on it (it's an old design after all). Dewalt needs to really update it I think with more power, more features like a scribe cut ( I currently have to manually change the depth), and preferably a new track with anti tip clip like makita and Milwaukee.
And honestly all track saws really need to come out of the factory with a full kerf blade (thiccc one), these thin blades bend in hardwoods and overheat. Got my dewalt a new blade now it's unstoppable.
the real question is will you use it on the job after you compare to your current saw.
It would be awesome if you done a demo on the Makita track saw.
I may need to update to this one. I have the Makita track saw kit but it so inaccurate!!! It’s out a few mm each cut. I’ve changed the rubber sacrificial strip but it’s still off on every cut I do. Its now in storage!!!!
I got sick of waiting for Milwaukee ( still not available in Australia ) I bought the 40v makita and i love it.
3:11 My Makita has the option of a -1 degree bevel, as well. Why? I get going over 45 to make sure the miter fits tight, but -1?
I’d like to see some reviews or demos on different types of laser levels
Try the makita 40v rear handle 7 1/4 and the 10 1/4
Would you use this in the field to trim down a door? Right now, I use a 96" metal level clamped to the door and my hand saw.
I want to see a comparison 🙋♂️
I would love to see more metal trim detail how to's
That’s great feedback and appreciate it. Anything specific?
I love Milwaukee products, but with the rapid charger, one would thing this pack would include a second battery to prevent a lull in workplace production. Not sure why they slacked off on this?
Track saw comparison video would be appreciated
We have reached a point, where our favorite youtubers cant tell us their opinion, without disclaiming every other sentence. :(
Great video Kyle, thanks for taking us along.
Sucks
I don’t want to ever mislead someone…what I share on my videos is always my true opinion. That’s a guarantee
Its all about time...Makita have 3 modele..Milwakee...Copy/Paste..Festool and Makita..😉😉
Nice Video. Do a comparison with Dewalt please.
At first glance, one thing that I do NOT like about this track saw kit is that the pack out is WAY to big for this saw. The Makita 40V XGT track saw comes in a pack out that's about 12in x 12in x 15in.
This Milwaukee saw comes in a pack out that's about 17" x 15.5" x 22". To me, that makes no sense.
I think pack outs are great. I want to keep my precision tools safe to prevent them from getting knocked around so they stay accurate. However, when the containers are massively oversized, this just takes up more space in a van, truck, workshop or garage.
I don't have a track saw yet. I haven't had to do any projects recently that require precise and clean cuts of large sheet goods. When I just need to make 1 or 2 cuts, I can just clamp a piece of angle steel or aluminum to my plywood to use as a guide and make the cut with my circular saw. People also make their own guides with a piece of plywood or MDF. The cut quality won't be as perfect as it could be from a track saw, but it can be pretty good if you're careful. Again, this is what I do for 1 or 2 cuts. If I had to make lots of cuts in full sheets of veneered material or architectural-grade plywood that will be exposed, I would want to use a track saw. For cuts in smaller plywood stock, I just use my Milwaukee M18 table saw with a finishing blade. If you cut in 2 passes -- first to score and then at full depth -- and if you tape your cut line with painter's tape, you can get a really great finish with a table saw. Of course, I don't want to cut a full 4x8 sheet of ply in any direction with my small table saw because the stock is just too big (at least for me) to be able to reliably make the cuts safely and cleanly.
I have batteries for both Milwaukee's 18V and Makita's 18V tools. I have been reluctant to add tools from Makita's 40V line because it's yet another line of tools, but as they come out with more 40V tools, I might eventually start buying Makita 40V tools. I'd probably pick the Makita 40V track saw (or even the dual 18V track saw) over the Milwaukee mainly because I think the Milwaukee pack out is just way too big and will take up too much space in my kit. I say this even though I probably like the depth and angle adjustments a little better on the Milwaukee than on the Makitas, and I also like the Milwaukee riving knife! Still, the Makitas are also very nice and pretty similar to the Milwaukee, and I think the deciding factor for me would end up being saving space in my small garage shop. I don't want my track saw packout to store anything other than the saw itself and maybe an extra blade and one battery. I can store the charger and spare batteries separately since I have other battery tools that work with the same batteries and charger. If this is how I'll store the tool, the pack out should be half the size with molded recesses to securely and safely store the tool.
I agree it’s big. I think you could just get the saw and put it in a smaller packout
Thanks Kyle
i miss toolsday 🤔
do you ever use a track saw to cut stair stingers?
Do you know if I have to use Milwaukee track saw blades specifically? Or can I use any 6 1/2 blade?
Are the track rails compatible with Woodpeckers track square and parallel guides?
can you do a video on top ways to avoid kickback with a tracksaw ? Cheers!
RIP the track, what a nice idea to shorten the track for cross cuts. Maybe some guys are making 3D printed end pieces for the track that the saw can't ride out of it🤔. With the locking feature of the saw on the track that would be a Festool HKC with plunging action.🤯
I’d like to see it up against the rest of the track saws. I’ve been looking for one, but I mainly have dewalt tools. I’m a fan of the red brand for sure though
Toolsday is back yayyyyyy
If I were to choose between a tracksaw and a circularsaw, what would i choose? I feel like the tracksaw can do the same thing as a circularsaw but not really the other way around.
I would say the opposite, the track saw is really good at creating perfectly straight long cuts, which you can accomplish with a regular Circ saw and a straight edge. You can even plunge a circ saw with a little practice, although its not as accurate or safe.
On the other side, the track saw is not so good at short crosscuts or working in elevated positions. Festool does make a track you can lock onto the saw but its still very awkward.
If you plan to do a bunch of sheet material cutting or cabinetry type work, the tracksaw is a good choice but as a general use construction saw I would stay with a 7.25 circular and by a good strait edge.
I agree first have a circular saw, but if time and quality are important you can’t beat a tracksaw…. Or a table saw
Please do the comparison!
I've never used a track saw. I wonder what keeps the track from moving.
Awesome saw! By Chance were you on a flight to Colorado this week? I saw a guy that looked just like you...could be your stunt double!
Yes I did transfer in Denver on Monday
@@RRBuildings Thought so..
Mine arrived, but the anti-tip knob is missing and has been blanked off. Milwaukee UK told me the anti-tip knob is not included in UK and Euro models for patent reasons. Very annoying as I specifically bought the Milwaukee rail kit to go with it for this feature. And they even show the knob in the photos on their UK site and dealer photos ...
FYI Audio is messed up. Primarily coming from the left channel.
And Festool came with a new one🤣🤣🤣Plunge-cut saw with scoring function...
Cordless framing nailer battle
Tracks and clamps are thicker than festool
I have not yet purchased a track saw. Not a cheap investment, but looks to be able to save time. How is it that the track does not move? Currently if I need a cut that perfect, I just clamp a straight edge down... Thanks.
I wondered the same thing until I bought the Makita. The saw glides easily through the track, and there’s no direct friction on the surface of the material you’re cutting. The track has a rubberized bottom, which stays in place. It’s as stable as can be, and it’s amazing how accurate and clean the cuts are. I wish I bought one sooner.
I have a festool and second this. the saw slides so easily in the track compared to how well the track sticks to the material it just stays where you put it I've even cut Masonite, and Formica countertops with it and everything stayed put . Im sure if I really tried i could get the track to move during a cut, but it would take some serous misuse of the tool to apply enough side force.
The bottom has a grippy strip
I'm a red fan, but for as long as Milwaukee waited to release this saw I was expecting better. Version 2.0 had better be able to rip some much thicker material than the 2.25DOC.
Hey Kyle, is your track bent? 11:58 it look like there is a defect in it. May be a camera trick, but def looks slightly bowed.
He stated that it was damaged in shipping
@@daveklein2826 Ah shit, didn't even hear that. Thanks!
Fucken hell that thing is an absolute beast
Can you also link the track guides? I am going to order everything through your links.
I’d just go thru the track saw links and then add the guide. Doesn’t matter either way but thanks brother
The box is unnecessarily big?
You are sure it will make the cut, pun intended...
Anybody know if the Milwaukee track saw is compatible with festools tracks?
Yes it is, but the anti-tipping feature will not be used since the Festool track does not have the lip to hold it down. It is compatible with the Makita and Powertech tracks also.
It is compatible except that you cannot use the Tracksaw anti-tipping lock.
@@richardlug6139 thanks
@@metronyc2855 thanks
Well I mean I do bleed "red"...lol I definitely waited
💯💯💯👍
The price you're paying for the pack out kit is the price of the bare skin here in Australia... no pricing on track yet
Now all they need to work on is a cordless dust extractor!
They already have them.
@@mikeznel6048 milwaukee doesn't have a cordless dust extractor they have the corded option which is good and they have the newer wet/dry vac. Unless I have been missing it.
in norway its 800$ for only the tool
