Which mid range track / plunge saw?

[Gooose]

I’m looking st getting a track saw, I’m not a trade person but I have plenty of projects on the go and I’m getting fed up with clamping a straight edge to my work and using my Dewalt circular saw.

I’ve seen a few reviews of the cheaper brands like erbauer and Titan but they both look a pain in arse to use with there track locking thing and awkward knobs in the wrong places.

Is there a decent mid range unit saw in the middle of these and the Festool, that’s hopefully ergonomic to use?

With a couple of tracks the Festool is looking around £500, Dewalt not far off!

I’ve had a look at few YouTube reviews and the Titan just looks awkward, and miles away on quality when compared to the Festool. Which it should be on the price

I haven’t had a look at a circular guide, the new Dewalt and corded one could use a guide but I’m unaware of one for my 18v

I've got the dewalt and it's one of the best tools I've ever bought - £380 here https://www.angliatoolcentre.co.uk/dewalt-dws520kr... with rails

That’s not too bad with the rails and case!

Erbauer looks like a no brainer at £130. 48 tooth blade, two rails, two year guarantee...

I think I would end up hurling the thing out of the window if I forgot to turn off the anti kick back after doing a small cut lol

Plus it cones with 2 700 length rails, I can’t get my head around all these track saws coming with different lengths. Surely you have to have enough rails to be able to rip a 8x4 sheet both ways?

Makita fit the parkside I think!

Does anyone know if you can turn the kick back thing off?
