My idea on tools is to either go for top quality or low cost, depending on how much you expect to use a tool. With a cheap tool you can always upgrade later if you need to, but buying a midrange tool can leave you disappointed but with too much money spent to feel comfortable replacing it. One unexpected benefit to me of having a Festool track saw and sander is the way the power cords work-you can leave the cord and dust hose attached to the collector and just switch tools quickly.
One tool that was missed, but was sort of mentioned was a good quality sander. That's something that you will be using for hours on every single project that rolls through your shop. A quality sander, such as those from Festool, 3M, Surf Prep, Mirka, etc., will save you hours of sanding, give you a higher quality finish, have much better dust collection, and have less vibration than an off the shelf sander like DeWalt, Milwaukee, lower end Bosch, and their like. Along with that is higher quality sandpaper, which can be just as expensive, but it truly does make a huge difference. Quality paper such as the 3M Xtract, Cubitron II, when compared to brands like Diablo, Gator, and others available at your box stores is like comparing a Ferrari to a Model T. They both will sort of get the job done, but at seriously different speeds and quality...
See this is where you lost me, because you were talking about two different things. Quality sander and Quality paper. Both combined are fantastic. But if you are trying to make an argument for tools which you are. Do you know that the company who owns Milwaukee also owns Ridgid and Ryobi?
@@bravobrk absolutely, but those are all still consumer level products. The tools I refer to from companies like Festool and Mirka are more on a professional level. Same with the sandpaper.
Further, you need to remember that the sander is not the tool. It is the machine. The sandpaper is the tool.
I’m just a hobbyist, but $3000 to avoid going to the emergency room is well worth the price of the SawStop. When I was deciding on the saw to get I had narrowed it down to a Laguna or a SawStop. The difference was about $1000. My wife said we should make the extra investment because it was cheaper than surgery.
Unfortunately sawstop is too expensive to buy in my country. But if you can afford it, well worth the safety you get
100%. I took of the tip of a thumb with a chisel doing a stupid thing, and just the bill for that comparatively small injury and sutures would make up the price difference for a sawstop. Surgery to reattach or clean up the amputation of mangled bone will pay for a sawstop several times over.
I worked at a cabinet shop with a sawstop. In 20 years of using a table saw, I never had an accident. Then one day I was cutting about 3/8 of an inch into 3/4 inch material, pushing straight down over the blade as I was pushing through, trying to get a consistent depth on a piece of maple. Hit a tough spot, the wood went flying, my finger pushed straight down into the blade. It would've split my index finger straight down the middle. All it did was remove the top layer of skin, didn't even draw blood. I was so thankful for that sawstop that day.
Not to mention that it is actually a saw that is worth the cost,without the electric brake technology. It's a good saw, on par with powermatic etc.
I’m glad you marrying a wise woman…and your kids will also thank you for the genetic they inherit down from their parents 😂
Matt, I remember when a guy gifted you that Yahuda jointer. You were overjoyed and blown away. I wanted one like it, but settled for a smaller WEN, which has served me well.
When I look at my shop today, I have the most money invested in my JessEm router table system. It is by far the most ridiculously expensive tool in MY shop. I'm just a hobbyist, but if I had unlimited $'s, I would outfit my shop with lot's of Harvey stuff! Love your Tee's brother!
I have had the Wahuda 10" jointer since it came out. I jumped on it due to it's size, spiral carbide inserts and bed extensions for less than $700 (compare to ANY 8" jointer!). The fence unfortunately is aluminum, but once aligned it stays pretty well. Like Matt, I have been enthusiastic about it ever since. Truly an incredible value!
I've purchased the Rigid 10 -inch Pro Jobsite Table Saw with Stand primarily because it's portable, compact to store & for what I have needed/wanted it to do, it's been perfect
Great Video - Have been contemplating a Jointer purchase as well as a Track saw - Great info and content!
The only tool that stands out would be a router table. Even a lift and DIY table is pricey but it’s definitely one of those things that is hard to replace at times for me. Bandsaw is awesome but maybe not the same as the other tools you’ve listed. Great content as always.
Good call!
I've been looking at the Kreg router table. Pricey though
I would never spend money on a lift or table… I built my own into the far right wing of my table saw with scrap Baltic Birch and mdf, use the Bosch router with the $30 Bosch router table under mount attachment and a $30 aluminum router table plate. $60 and about an hour to build and set up vs hundreds or even thousands of dollars and works just the same.
Great Video!!! One quick comment regarding the TSO Guide Rail Square -- TSO also makes a fantastic set of parallel guides that work hand-in-hand with the guide rail square. They make repeatable cuts with the track saw a snap. Great channel.
Great advice! I bought the TSO guide rail square a couple of years ago and it is great.
Great to hear!
At a little over $60 US the Fonson square from BangGood (5 start review from "Hooked on Wood") vs the TSO square at 3 times the price and without the balance bar on the Fonson that suspends the square on the work makes the Fonson a better choice for Festool, Makita and Powertec users. However, the Fonson does NOT fit Milwaukee and Dewalt tracks.
Great video Matt. Thanks.
The Milwaukee Dust Extractor is extremely efficient and impressive. I’d love to have a Festool, but can’t afford that price point currently. After using the Milwaukee, I don’t know if there’s anything aspect of it where I require anything more. Worth checking out for sure!
Matt, good video. A great sander vs a low priced version. I have Festool and 3m sanders. So much better than a Bosch or De Walt. Also, you have not tested the Makita brands. I have their Track Saw and am not at all disappointed with the Makita..
I have Bosch and Festool, the high end Bosch is very good. The do save lots of time
Enjoyed your analysis!!
Much appreciated!
Great Video! Been looking to purchase those tools types, but wait for someone who works with them make comments about them. I would also like hear what you have to say about shop drill stands like drilling, rpms, laser guides, and etc(table top and floor versions). Thanks and keep up the doing what your doing it has helped me and I am sure a lot others.
Agree with this guide! And I also agree you get what you pay for! I bought the Festool MIDI and have no regrets! Maybe a bandsaw could be in the list?
GREAT twist on the “tools under X cost”! Appreciate the content you continue to produce.
Thanks!
Love it. My makita track saw with the tso guide is awesome!
Bosch track saw for the win
Thanks for the Tool Nut link; I took the plunge on a Milwaukee Track saw. Good package at a nice price. I was waiting to see the Rigid but when you add up this package at the sales price. No Comparison to it or Makita.
I purchased the 3M dust collector from Taylor Tools, and it has worked really well. I'm happy with it and their customer service
Another great video Matt great tips as always
Completely agree!!!
1. Kreg Track Saw (your videos help me decide on which to buy)
1b. Bought this within a week of having my track saw.
2. Festool duster extractor is definitely on my “To Buy” list.
3. Love my Dewalt table saw. With my Track Saw, 20mm Paulk Big Bench, I’m not sure a bigger more expensive table saw is in my future.
4. On my “To Buy” list now, thanks to this video.
5. 6” Craftsman Jointer.
6. Dewalt DW735 planer
7. UJK Parf Guide System Mark II for making 20mm worktops, like Ron Paulk tables & accessories.
Enjoy your channel.
8. On my “To Buy” list Festool Domino Joiner
Pair $600+ for a Mirka sander, and wish I had done it years ago. Sands very well, but the dust collection when attached to my vac is outstanding. I think I could sand something in my living room and not see any dust film on the furniture. I used to hate that with my old palm sanders - the huge amounts of dust generated.
Finally broke down and bought the Narex set and it was a great move! Super flat and sharp right out of the box and they actually hold that sharpness! Those HF specials took an hour to flatten and sharpen and dull after a couple uses. Now they pry things up or open that I would never use the narex for! And yes, I did SawStop 3hp 52" and best purchase I have made in the past 3 years! My cuts are far superior to my portable table saw and still accurate after years of heavy use.
So my go to dust extractor is the Nilfisk Alto self cleaning models paired with a dust deputy
Woo! Matt, you left out the router, one of my favourite tools. It used to be called the most versatile tool in the workshop. Thank you again.
I have most of the tools you mention but don't have the track saw . Just really starting out as due to retire and want something to keep myself busy and looking towards a track saw and cnc router at this point. all my tools were used and in good shape. Would like to see what you recommend for these items and possible bandsaw .
Matt - you left out the most ridiculously expensive tool: the Festool Domino maker. Even with the expense, it's really a game changer. Yes, dowels will work in most cases that a domino will, but the time saving and accuracy are not to be beat.
There's a tool identical to the domino but for dowels. Unfortunately the only quality made one costs more than the domino.
I agree with you on everything except the chisels. I use a couple sets of the mid range price. Most of my projects don't require a fancy joint or even have to look pretty but I do run into nails and staples and trash them more than most people. So I keep one set for the sometimes when I need it sharp and the other I just beat to death and don't worry about it.
The fence on the DeWalt table saw are awesome. It's a good first time saw.
A friend got his hand into his table saw blade, he got really lucky and only got a missing nail and a few stitches. I am going to be replacing my old Jet with a Sawstop, definitely worth the money
I replaced my jobsite dewalt with a sawstop cts jobsite. $300 more for fingers is no brainer. Might keep the dewalt for dado stacks though
On the saw stop, if you use the riving knife with the dust cover you can hook up the festool dust collector and cut down dust substantially. Worked amazing for me!
Thanks for the info! I would love to see a video on drill presses. Floor and bench top and which is best. My press is junk, and I want to replace it, but I haven't found any reviews I've been impressed with. Thanks!
Have you seen the Nova drill press? It looks really cool. czcams.com/video/kck-Cq6wNLA/video.html
I'm personally a huge fan of Tokyo dust extractors but a big fan of festool dust extractor hoses
great vid Matt. what are your thoughts on the kreg accu-cut for circular saw
Great video! I'd be up for a follow up video! Keep up the good work!
Awesome, thank you!
I am a hobby shop wood destroyer. Small shop at home. I have an old corded DeWalt track saw. The only way to cut down sheets of anything.
Would this TSO Guide Rail Square fit with the Milescraft 1409 circular saw track?
Bandsaw gets the most use out of all the tools in my shop.
Trooper Mike, that’s always a most excellent episode. Happened exactly what I’m looking for this point so thank you very much.
I hope Miss Amy is feeling better and yes she has look into those. God Bless Y🫵🏻U both‼️🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼✝️✝️✝️
I have Festool Domino and Circular saw. That mitre/chop saw is very expensive at $1600 dollars. The Bosch GCM 12 GDL mitre saw I think is far better value for money and takes up a lot less space! Thanks for the great reviews once again!
An expensive item that even I have a hard time buying, is a quality saw blade.
We’ll spend 4-5k on a table saw but will balk at buying a $200 blade that cuts fantastically and can be sharpened multiple times.
Short of one like that, Freud's less expensive Diablo series are outstanding at any price.
I’ve never had a problem with CMT orange and they are reasonably priced 😊
@@RYwoodview True.
I have a Freud Industrial plexiglass blade that cuts acrylic cleanly!
Hey Matt - does the Milescraft Track for your circular saw work as well for 90° cuts and can it use track squares?
I bought the ets 125 then bought the ct 26 for my sanding setup. At over $1000 to sand is crazy expensive to me however it has been an awesome setup and I don't regret it even for a second. For an additional expensive tool for me is the Jet 14 inch bandsaw. At over $1700 crazy expensive. Once again zero regrets. Stay awesome.
The dust collection with the Festool sander is amazing. I hate sanding but it is so much better when there’s so little dust.
@@markjames8664 I absolutely hated sanding. Every time I did, the sandpaper would wear out in a minute or tear, or both. I bought the RO-125 and was hooked. I've since bought the ETS, DTS400, RTS, and LS. My favorite is the Pro-5 (It was essentially and ETSC125 for $100 with a $50 coupon towards the next worm).
The CT48 makes them indoor tools. 😁
Still need to get me a dust extractor. Looking to up grade my miter saw first though! Great list
I got the bench cookies for use with my track saw per your recommendation and they have been awesome, thanks.
Great to hear!
As a journeyman carpenter/ fine woodworker, I would suggest a good solid table saw, Delta,Powermatic, or Saw Stop. With a good out feed table, you can do anything a track saw can do, and so much more. Forty years ago when I got into carpentry and building furniture, we got along fine with out them. Even for finish carpentry in custom homes we usually take out a Delta contractors saw.
Good list, Planer for the next list.
Thanks. Agreed!
Can’t even disagree with you in this matter..100000% accurate! To ease the working process 😂
Festool Domino or Mafell DuoDoweller. Both are head and shoulders better than my biscuit joiner. and both Festool and Mafell are ridiculously expensive but I I use my Festool Domino for nearly all my joinery work and not to have it, for me, is practically inconceivable.
I think one tool you didn't mention was the CNC. They're out of my price range since I don't do production type items. I really enjoy your videos. Keep up the great work! 😊😊😊
I need to break down and purchase a great track saw. I would like your recommendation on a (only one) track saw, Festool Track Saw or Milwaukee Track Saw? My only concern is when something breaks, how easy it is to get it repaired or replaced. How long will you be without your saw? Thank you, KC in Mobile, AL
I went with the Kimmon's Chisels. They are a step or 3 up from the Narex. Custom made rather than factory made. The handles are also stabilized.
Just got my DEWALT track saw end replacing the track with frstool with the Benchdog’s uk squares for them ❤ it is a game changer
I bought an unused pre-owned Kapex for $1100, some years ago. The reason I bought it over any other miter saw was because every aspect of the saw is adjustable. Therefore, it can be the most accurate and fine tuned saw and can be used to make perfect joints.
You should look at the SawStop contractors saw. It isn't as nice as their cabinet saw, but it cuts great unless it is your finger for about $2k. I have had one for about eight years, and I love it. After I boxed in the base for some real dust collection that is. Love the show man.
What are u thoughts of the new festool table saw on battery
Makita track saws are less than festoon, slightly less than Milwaukee and equally as good
Agree!!
I purchased a Makita track saw plus the TSO track square (not this model but very similar) and they make a dynamite combination.
I am real happy with my Makita. Saved a bit more with Powertec rails.
I've got a Bosch table saw, but I'm wondering if a Milwaukee track saw would be worth it for cuts bigger than the 30" capacity of my table saw. Any thoughts?
Gotta add Bandsaw and thickness planer. Bandsaw, jointer and higher quality dust extraction are on my wish list! Right now making due with a shop vac with a dust separator. It worked pretty good but would LOVE a good better system!
Nova Viking Drill Press vs. Wen. Dewalt 735 3 knife vs. SHELIX head
Hi Matt, is this the same for your average DIYer or are there other ridiculously expensive tools that we should consider also? I was wondering if this video was geared more to audiences who may have a small business going.
Thanks for this entertaining video. It is funny that you start with (excluding) the Festool Kapex as you own one and so do many other woodwork channels on youtube. In my opinion, the price is indeed ridiculous compared to competition but not completley crazy. My wife is going to buy an electric bike that costs a multiple of these saws ...
The TSO guide is worth its weight in gold! They also released one for the Dewalt tracks!!! This is the miracle of miracles as I can't find any other brand that makes a guide system for the Dewalt tracks (there's a few DIY things around, but not very good). It uses a different mechanism to attach to the tracks, but it still only takes a few seconds to attach.
Speaking of which, my one regret about getting a tracksaw was buying the Dewalt corded tracksaw instead of the Festool. The Dewalt tracksaw is a great saw, it's the tracks that are the problem! Because of their unique design it's apparently very difficult to make accessories for them. Whereas the Festool tracks get all of the love with accessories out the wazoo! Granted, the Dewalt tracksaw will work on Festool tracks... but I really don't need to be investing another $400 in tracks. The Festool TS55 is about $100 more than the Dewalt, so I think that would've been worth the upgrade.
There are other brands for accurate right angle track saw guides to fit any saw, if you don't mind buying Chinese.
@@RYwoodview I've looked at them, but they only seem to be for Festool / Makita tracks? I couldn't find any that fit the Dewalt tracks :(
Yes, that's why I only considered track saws that fit the "standard" rails. All sorts of accessories, at different price points, can be had.
I recently got the powertec Dust extractor, and although i haven't had the time to really use it, i've found a few points. If you wear hearing protection, then the sound isn't an issue(it can get really loud). They say it has 560 CFM(4 times festool) which could explain the noise, however i got about 20 feet of tubing, even though i normally only use it to 5 feet. Unless you have a really nice boom arm design to keep the tubes organized, you're losing a lot of suction power. It only had a bit over my shop vac in normal use, though that hopefully won't be an issue when i set up a boom arm.
Does the TSO GRS-16E Guide Rail Square work with the Milescraft 1409 guide that you reviewed in another video? This is a neat tool!
Jointers are great. If I knew then what I knew now, though, I'd have picked up a planer first. I'm happy with both, so I won't take anything away from the jointer. I just use the planer more, and it pays for itself in savings from buying rough sawn lumber versus S4S
I enjoy your videos but may I request you should build more items? I think it would be fun for us watching and we can see some of the items you recommend being used.
Just a thought.
Noted! Thank you
What I like about this man.. he never wastes time with long introductions and gets straight to the point.....also the fastest talker in the West (and beyond ) but always very interesting....love this channel...
lol thanks!
You did not mention a planer ( DW745) which is my tool of choice along with the cabinet saw( sawstop 36") for my small shop
Hey Matt! Great video! Quick ?. What am I looking for at the craft store for sandpaper storage? Got the miter station almost complete and I need to start getting my storage containers. Thank you!
Thanks. You just need a container that has at least over 5 inch deep, divided areas. The one on Amazon is called ArtBin
@@731Woodworks your a stud, thank you;!!
My new favorite wood working account
Thanks! 👊
Drum sander! I’ve used it once. But was awesome in its own right. 😅
Fielder jointer/ planer. 16 inch capacity worth every penny.
18 inch Powermatic bandsaw. Will cut anything you need
If you decide to do another video like this, I would add: Router Table, Planer, and Bandsaw.
Is there a drum sander you would recommend?
Good video Matt! 👍🏼
There are a lot of tool’s today that get really expensive. I guess it becomes a individual priority list. I have a scroll saw that I use more as a bandsaw. Simply because I don’t have a bandsaw and can’t justify a good one.
I have a cabinet type craftsman table saw. I have had it for twenty years. It’s still square and runs hard. If money is an issue, people might consider looking at older used machines. You might have to forgo some of the new features. But the materials that it’s made of might be of better quality. You basically have to do a business case to justify your purchase. Be a sideline job or a hobby!
Keep the videos coming, would like to see more of your build videos as well!
I have a 6.5in DeWalt circular saw (DCS565B) are there adapters that might get me "close" to being a track saw, or do I have to buy a track-saw with the track? What's the best way to find a good track for a circular saw?
The MilesCraft saw guide would get it close to a track saw as you can get.
@@731Woodworks thanks!
I'm leaning towards getting the Rigid track saw when it comes out. Will the TSO guide rail square work on that track?
No, the current ones will not.
@@731Woodworks Thanks for the info.
On the table saw side, I'd say that if you're an adult who does woodworking most of their free time, if you're well off, i think the QOL of a sawstop or another high end saw can be worth it, since it should increase your enjoyment from woodworking and maybe even your money.
I have a Harvey table saw on the way. Most excited I’ve been since Christmas Eve as a child lol
@@jstarr3676 OMG SAME BRO!!!!!!!! mine isn't bent but i have an existential dread that something's off on it
@@jstarr3676 Yeah I'm waiting till i have my own shop, and then(if i'm rich enough) im goin all out on a sawstop. or maybe a contractor saw in between idrk.
@@jstarr3676 you too!!
@officialtree5245 if you can, I would recommend a Delta while you wait to get a SawStop. They are great, especially for the price. The 36-725 and it's different variants.
Very fond of my DeWalt corded track saw.
I have a Wahuda jointer and for the life of me, I cannot get the in-feed & out-feed table aligned properly. Any suggestions on how to properly do this?
I'm not sure if you've ever reviewed this tool, but what about the digital readout that can attach to the dewalt planner? Or any planner I guess? Are those accurate and worth the cost?
Coming soon!!
For a jobsite tablesaw, I have the Dewalt DWE7491RS. It’s a 10” saw, and can accept a dado stack up 3/4” thick. You just have to use a 6” dado stack, the 8” will be too heavy for the motor.
When it comes to chisels, the final machining is the most important factor.
All require some setup but the better ones are close to using OTTB.
A cheap one can require hours of work to get it to a useful state.
Like you mentioned, if you're doing long table tops quite often a track saw might be a good purchase but if all your doing is plywood here and there, then I personally find it to be a waste of money. Just have the big box store cut it for you. If you're buying plywood by the pallet, then that's different
Your channel has been very helpful to me sorting out how to equip my new (first) shop. Question for you... I'm leaning towards the Skil table saw as my first table saw based on my budget and various reviews, including yours. However, I have an opportunity to get the Hercules from HF at the same price. The Hercules seems beefier, seems to have a better top and throat plate, and definitely weighs more. What I cannot tell is which has more power, and which is easier to adjust if something is out of square. Can you answer these questions, or point me to a review that does answer them? Tx!
I'd love to help you out, but I've never used the Hercules saw. Sorry.
Helical jointer and planer cutting heads should be on that list, certainly a game changer but also an expensive upgrade, worse yet try selling one with it.
It would be cool to have a video of some quality PPE for the shop. Maybe shot some nails through some cheap glasses. Test a couple respirators, etc etc.
Matt, it’s been a while since I’ve watch a few videos. Incredibly impressed with the growth of your channel, well deserved. One thing the track saw does that a regular circular saw doesn’t, the dust collection to keep the shop clean. Keep up the great videos buddy
I can’t agree with you more on all of these. The router table is pretty key and my second major purchase. TSO made my Kreg the the first time I could get a square cut and that was after I was about 3000 into this whole thing. It was an absolute game changer and I wish I wouldn’t have bought the entire ACS. They do have the best customer service ever though. The CT 26 coupled with the mullet cyclone was something I did not want to spend money on but I’m so glad I did. No more saw dust boogers, easy to move, the suction control, everything is top notch. The last few months have been some of the worst of my adult life and sadly I had to sell my jointer. I deeply regret selling that now. I thank God that was the only I sold because this hobby has been nothing short of a life saver for me. I mean that sincerely, if I didn’t have God, good people, and woodworking, I would not be here. I’m still in my first year of this but dang proud of what I’ve been able to do so far. I made a beautiful crosscut sled over the last two days, having fun and not thinking about my troubles. Keep it up Matt, your videos do more than you know
Oh I see your anniversary is approaching. If I don’t make it back, Happy Anniversary love birds!
what do you think about Shop Fox Hybrid saw
The TSO Guide Rail Square alternative is the Festool 205229 Angle Stop FS-WA/90°. The Festool is significantly cheaper and it;s the same as the TSO as TSO is the one who makes the rail square for Festool. TSO blue at higher price or Festool color for less.
However, i think the festool one is from the UK. I got one for $130 when the TSO were goin for $180.
Does the track square fit the Ridgid track?
How about domino jointers? I bought a df500 with trepidation, but later bought a 700 easily. Huge versatility and incredible time saver.
I have lusted after a Harvey table saw with titanium surfacesever since my very old contractor saw gave up the ghost. My son called me one night and said Lowe's appearantly put a very nice Delta saw about 700.00 on sale 50% off. Got online and ordered for pickup before the mistake was corrected. Very happy with the Delta and especially the price!
