Latest FWW arrived in the mail yesterday. Interesting review of track saws that seems to confirm Festool as king of the crop. They also rated a "Mafell" at the same level. Never heard of this one but they are another high end German make and believe it or not the price was more than the green beast.
Its hard to not look at the ticket price with a purchase like this but the low end Grizzly and Triton both performed under par and as we have all experienced buying something that doesnt really do the job to save a buck ends up costing more in the long run.
Interesting that the Makita gets best value and I have heard the same from other reviews. At approx $400 that seems like a pretty good buy compared to its German cousins and not that much more than the under performing bottom feeders.
Not quite made my must have list yet but its getting there. Dont think my kids are going to be quite that generous for fathers day but who know...
