DWS520CK Track Saw
Zero clearance track saw cutting system for straight, splinter-free cuts
The DeWalt’s track is the only one with a splinter guard on both sides, so I didn’t need to constantly flip the track, an advantage when working in tight quarters. The DeWalt is also the only saw that uses a linkage connection rather than a single pivot point for the saw’s plunge mechanism. This means you have to push the handle forward as well as down to make a cut. I found it tricky to make this motion with one hand. In addition, the depth-of-cut dial is too small and is difficult to operate with gloves on. Unfortunately, DeWalt does not sell a track connector, so for cuts longer than 4 ft., the only option is to get a 102-in. track. The DeWalt is built tough, but ergonomically, it’s not the strongest of the bunch.
