Pretty comparable Simon. But if you are planning on getting any other Festool products in the future, I think you are far better off staying in the Festool family. That way your dust collection is easily adaptable. And not to mention, it seems like the engineers at Festool have dust collection on their minds from day 1, across their entire tool line.

How is the dust control on the dewalt compared to the festool. I’m actually looking into both of these right now, but the plunge capacity has me siding with the festool.

it took me a while to get used to, but my dewalt track saw has really grown on me.

I’d love to see you give review of the EZ-Smart guide rail system in comparison with these two guide saws.

Festool actually makes their track in all kinds of sizes: http://www.festoolusa.com/products/guide-rails

Thanks for watching man and I appreciate the kind words.

Hey mark thanks for the great review.I like the way full discloser was played out.I think you may have missed an important part of the review.The fact (as far as I could tell)that dewalt has a 102” track and festool does not.In the “big picture” as you put it that would be very important to me.But as I said I could be wrong,I only looked at festool’s web page for a minute,and might have missed it.Thanks for the great videos and web site.

Hey Marc:

This one was really helpful (Actually, they all are!). I’ve been considering purchasing one of the track saws. Festool was the only one I was aware of. However, I’ve had great luck with my Dewalt circular saw (a real workhorse). I think I’ll check this one out! Keep up the great work. tf
