Where can I find information about the tracksaw? I have a tablesaw induction and have a project for it but can try and see if the tracksaw will do

Pm me with details of your project and I will let you know.
It is a ts55 festool tracksaw used with an MFT fence system

hi Mark

i would volunteer, i can cut the cnc door panels with the tracksaw, but they are 20mm plus depthā€¦ is it possible? i kind of remember the max cutting depth is 12mmā€¦

That is exactly why we need an induction! 50mm max cut

Iā€™m hoping to build some alcove units out of MDF. Would that be a suitable project for the tracksaw?

10

Yes absolutely when are you thinking of making them?

Have PMā€™d you

@lewisss thanks for creating this. I have a project in mind: a front window box with top opening and I have the top cushion ready. Here are the approximate drawings. Iā€™ll assemble the box and frame in my house but ideally Iā€™d love to use the tracksaw to prepare all parts. Also material plywood or MDF and carcassing timber for the frameā€¦ Iā€™d like to volunteer if you have space, I can make time based on your agenda except from 10/2 to 20/2. There will be lots of learnings considering I have many questions and unknowns.

Hi Mark,
Iā€™m up for doing the tracksaw induction. I did the table saw with Ryan a week or so ago while you were sharpening your tools and we had a chat. I want to make a router table like the one that you built.

Hi Mark,

I would like to volunteer if you still need people. Iā€™m hoping to cut sections for some shelves from ply. 18 or 21mm.

Iā€™m available 13th, 14th and 16th feb if any of those days work. I would just need to have a few days notice to get the sheet delivered to the studio ahead of induction.

Thanks.

Hi Mark,
If thereā€™s still spaceā€¦ I have a small project to convert a cupboard that held a boiler into a shelf and drawers. MDF door and ply or wood internally.
Thanks

Iā€™m game for the induction. Canā€™t use the table saw but want to rip parts of a sheet down to make a small chest of drawers!

Yes please Mark. @lewisss

I have two floating box shelves to make.

1100mm x 150mm x 80mm

I plan on using pine for the frame and maybe 5-6mm hardboard, all mitred edges. I will bring two quarter sheets of hardboard. Ready from after this weekend.

Apologies for the lack of movement on this . Covid struck 3 weeks ago and still feel rough, will get these started soon
