>I was looking at an entry level track saw or rail saw (not sure what is the best name) and I was eyeing the Evolution R185CCSX+ as it seems to be a interesting DIY option. The saw cost £90, the 2800mm tracks cost £77, but when I started checking the reviews of the track, it seems to be crap, not accurate. As I'm planning to start doing a lot of DYI and get more into woodwork, I was hoping to get something that is not crap, but also not expensive. Is there something decent around the £150-£250 mark for a saw + track of decent size or should I be aiming at a lot more?
You have only reviews to go on but if they're right? Are you going to
buy another? I'd spend more up-front and get something you know will
do the job you want.
I have Festool, as well. There were only two available when I bought
mine and not enough difference in price to do anything else but buy
the Festool. Festool is about 4-5x what you're looking to pay so it's
certainly not for you. The middle of the pack may be more what you're
looking for. I don't know what brands are available to you but I'd
think long and hard about settling for anything less than what will
work for you for years. You _don't_ want to make this purchase again.
