Very nice, plunge cut saw.
"Very nice, plunge cut saw."
easy to use, smooth straight cuts
"The track saw delivers ease of use and clean cuts - it performs as expected. Being that this is a single purpose tool (primarily for cutting sheet goods) the track supplied with the tool will only cut 2/3rds the way through a full size sheet of plywood. You then have to reposition the track to complete the cut. This has the high potential to introduce error as you are unlikely to place the track exactly in line with the existing cut resulting in a panel out of square. You need to buy the track extension kit and a section of track in order to rip a full size sheet in one pass. For $500 I would expect to be able to rip a full sheet in one pass. The saw should come with a one piece track long enough to rip a full sheet and the short 62" track should be the optional accessory. Track saws are designed to make cutting full sheets easier than using a table saw. Short rip cuts of panels 62" and less are pretty easy to handle on a table saw. It would be a very small increase manufacturing costs to provide a one piece track long enough to rip a full sheet since it's the same extrusion and this would eliminate the need for the end user to buy the track extension kit (which does not include the extra track). Kreg would only need to manufacture a short piece of track as an option and could eliminate the extension connection kit. I assume most people buy track saws for cutting full size sheet goods so buying the track extension kit and extra track are not an option. $500 for the basic saw and track and another $144 for the extension kit and extra track puts this track saw within range of some of the higher end brands. The Kreg track saw is well built but uses a lot of plastic parts that are readily available which indicates to me that they know these parts are subject to breakage. If Kreg would change the track length provided with the kit and make the short track optional this would be the best deal on the market. As it stands, be prepared to spend more for the track extension if you cut full size sheet goods."

Great Saw and Track System
"Using the new plunge saw and track is so much better than using my old circular saw with the Accu Cut track. I find the new Adaptive Cutting System produces cleaner and more accurate cuts. Excellent purchase!"

"This is a absolutely the best setup. The saw is the best! I am blown away with the ease of use and the accuracy and precision with which this setup can deliver. I really didn't expect anything less from Kreg products and they certainly did not disappoint. The more Kreg tools I have in my shop, the more great tools I have to deliver perfect results on every project I tackle. The cuts are precision, the tool quality is outstanding, and the price and shipping are excellent. When I buy something from Kreg I always get the best I can expect for my money and they've never let me down."

My first purchase of a
"My first purchase of a track saw and so far I'm very happy with ease of setup and use. So far I've only used it to turn a 4 x 8 sheet of 3/4" plywood into five 18 x 48 shelves. But the system with a TSO Square made the job a piece of cake."
The brand new Kreg Ionic
"The brand new Kreg Ionic Drive Adaptive Cutting System Cordless Saw & Guide Track Kit is the track saw I've been waiting for! Excellent build quality, especially for a brand new entry into cordless tools. The number of adjustments is unmatched and the precision of the entire system is exactly what I would expect from Kreg. The track is 62" long (longer than most), and easily re-positioned for longer cuts. A super high quality tool for precise cuts. It's light, rugged, and looks and feel great. Kudos to the product design team and also a shout out to the Kreg customer service team, who helped me with lots of pre-and post purchase questions. Thank you!"
Q&A
- Does the Kreg ionic drive plunge track saw lock into the track for a no tilt miter cut
- No, the saw does not lock onto the track.
- I have the 8’ Accu track. Can this saw be adapted to it?
- No, the ACS Saw will not work with the Accu-Cut.
- Does this come with the option of a longer guide to rip a 4x8 board of plywood or MDF?
- To extend that track, you will want to purchase the ACS430 Track and the ACS445 connectors.
