    • Makes my inexpensive saw a track saw
My dad has a festool track saw and I have been borrowing it a lot. I don't have room or inclination to buy a table saw, and I do a lot with sheet goods and have other applications that call for perfect straight cuts. I don't need any of the tracksaw specific pieces that come on the expensive saws. This turns my $150 light and easy circular saw into a track saw that so far has made all of the cuts I've asked it to make. It is best on the Makita tracks, as there is a little tab that attaches into the rail and prevents it from rolling off, but it also functions on the festool tracks (which I tried). Adjustment is easy. Instructions could be a little more clear, but it really wasn't all that bad. If you're wanting to use this kind of saw you probably also have the aptitude to figure out the instructions. I think it could be priced a little lower for what it is, though. ... show more

    • You have to commit to this
It is easy to get off and on, but you have to fiddle with it to make sure it is straight when you do so. So, I end up just leaving it on, which is not a problem, but it changes the way I put the saw down, and how much clearance I have when not using the track. Not a deal breaker, I still like having it more than not, but it is kind of a pain. To be clear, way better than springing for the plunge saw. ... show more

    • An affordable way to use what you've got rather than buying a new tool
The adapter instructions weren't too clear. However, with the diagram and a little fiddling, I was able to get the track plate attached without too much hassle. I paired this with the Wen 110" (55" x 2) tracks and it works pretty well. It isn't the smoothest slide but is manageable by keeping a hand on the adapter and a hand on the saw. If you already have the circular saw, it is an affordable step up into a track-saw-like setup. ... show more

    • Inexpensive option
It’s a good option if you don’t want to buy the actual track saw.

    • Inexpensive alternative to a track saw
Works great, and is a great value. Mine was a little warped when I got it. But it straightened out by leaving it on the dash in my truck.

    • Works well
Watch a YouTube video as to how it fits in the track and the saw. Works well once installed

    • Game Changer
Perfect for what I need it for. This isn't a track saw so don't compare it to one. It's great for what it's intended for.

    • Nice add on for the Makita XSH03Z
Adapts the Makita XSH03Z 6-1/2” 18V circular saw to the Makita track saw tracks.
