- Reviewed in Canada on May 18, 2025Verified PurchaseUse it all the time.
- Reviewed in Canada on February 27, 2025Verified PurchaseWorks with Festool track saw. Much cheaper.
- Reviewed in Canada on January 20, 2022Verified PurchaseI have a small shop so a large table saw is out of the question. The Makita track saw option has ben working great! Easy to use, set up and break down and takes up a fraction of the space of a traditional table saw.
I purchased 2 of these tracks and they are very well made and as I said earlier set up is a snap.
With 2 you can rip a sheet of plywood quickly, one is perfect for cross cutting a full sheet.
If your needs are similar to mine, you won't be disappointed. As for the value for money...they are a bit pricey but you get what you pay for and they are well made.
- Reviewed in Canada on September 26, 2024Verified PurchaseFits Milwaukee and Festool saws for half the price of their tracks. Non-slip backing is excellent. This track is the industry standard.
- Reviewed in Canada on June 26, 2024Verified PurchaseThis size is great for cross cutting sheets of plywood. Seems odd, but now I use my big table saw for little pieces of wood, and my little Makita track saw for big sheets of wood. It's faster, easier, more precise, a bunch less work.
For long cuts, you must join two of these together with a joiner kit or buy a LONG track. Paying the freight makes one consider joining two. So does having to fit the thing in your truck.... I have two of these I keep joined together and a third I use as a single. Taking the two apart is easy, but realigning them and putting them back together take a few minutes.

Reviewed in Canada on November 29, 2024Verified PurchaseSelon les critères de qualité du manufacturier.
- Reviewed in Canada on October 23, 2022Verified PurchaseThese tracks are perfect to operate the Makita track saws. Necessary to cut in a super straight line. One section is 55” so 2 are required to cut an 8’ length of plywood. They do NOT come with the hardware to attach two sections together, this is sold separately as are the clamps.
- Reviewed in Canada on June 10, 2020Verified PurchaseI'm a casual home DIYer so I picked up the very affordable WEN CT1065 track saw and was happy to see it's perfectly compatible with this Makita track (which was a very well-reviewed track). The track is affordable and well built - I would also recommend adding the clamps to your order too as I'm just not sure how confident I am with the pads on the bottom of the track holding it in place when I need absolute precision!
My only disappointment is that I'd like to buy a second track and join it with this one for 8' sheet rip cuts, but Makita has made the small joiner rails an absolute RIP OFF of a price at over half the price of the track itself for the two small pieces of metal to join it with another!

5.0 out of 5 stars Indispensable
Verified PurchaseExcellent produit, simple, pratique mais efficace.
La description 鶹 est ambiguë. D’un côté, on mentionne la présence d’un rail de guidage, de l’autre, la description publicitaire du produit évoquée la présence de 10m de bande de caoutchouc, qui ne font pas partie du colis. Qu’on s’en le dise ....
Le produit reste génial.
Je suis un bricoleur du dimanche, amateur, qui vit en appartement et qui bricole dans sa cave. Bricolage limité. En revanche, je suis un emmerdeur. J’aime que le boulot soit bien fait du premier coup. Avec ce rail, je fais des coupes droites impeccables du premier coup. Rien à redire.
( Petite précision, j’utilise ce rail avec les serre-joints Makita prévu à cet effet et avec une scie plongeante Makita, qui il faut l’avouer, est une bête de course)
