are all tracks universal? can I use a Makita saw with a dewalt or festal track?

I think it will not work. Use original Makita track. You really will see the bent only if you will try to join couple tracks. For most jobs Makita's track is just fine.

I have this Makita saw and use a Festool track, my understanding is that the Dewalt track is not compatible though

My understanding is that Makita and Festool track interchange. I have a Makita track and join the two pieces together with the Festool adapter. I don't know about the DeWalt track. I use the DeWalt clamps to hold my track in pleace. Hope this is of some help.

No they are not, sorry to say. Google it and you will see some are more compatible than others.

There is a third track or rail type not discussed here. Mafell and Bosch make another track system. Neither the Festool, Makita, nor the Dewalt can use the Mafell/Bosch rail.However, the Mafell or Bosch track saw (Mafell is available in USA and costs more than Festool, but Bosch would need to be imported) can ride on the Festool or Makita track when cutting a 90 degree cut. What I have read is that when cutting bevels (anything other than 90 degrees), the sacrificial zero clearance strip will not be able to be used to line up the cut.I built a base/sled out of Masonite that attaches to this Makita saw but can ride on the Mafell/Bosch track.

Sorry, for the late answer. I don't can help you. I sold the saw. Because the saw was not what I want. The Tracks are not really good. When you need the saw for business, the saw is not good enough. I buy a different brand, and I'm happy. But off course the new saw was more than the on double price. For hobby is this a good saw for a good price, but not for more.

The saw uses the large black 18 v battery's. I suspect you have a white drill. It has a lower power rating battery that won't fit and would probubly burn up. All the green/ blue tools use the same battery. Unfortunately makita never mentions this that I see. It's like pro verses handyman tools

Dewalt did a good job making the mounting pretty universal. You'll see on the picture all the holes are slotted side to side so gives you a lot of room to play with to match your saw. The rails can be adjusting front to back as well.This requires loosening some bolts but not difficult.

I looked up the equipment you chose, I don't see any reason that it wouldn't be compatable. I used the dewalt variant with great success, would recommend using the tool with the dust collector, safety glasses and a respirator

Yes and you can use any of these: Bosch 1617 and 1618 Porter Cable 890 Series Porter Cable 690 Series (6902VS must be manually started) Dewalt 610, 616, 618

yes, for the most part all wooden train tracks are compatible. they may have different designs but they all fit together. i might add this piece is very noisy, enjoy!

Dear inquirer. Most of us are using the Makita Blade with the Makita Saw. I find them to make quality products specifically for their own product line. Just be sure to get the correct # of teeth for the intended use. Happy Cutting--Bigfooot

I have just used both tracks together once, to trim down a pocket door and it worked beautifully. Seemed like if i had the long and very expensive track. Normally, I use one track for what I do and I have to say this tracks are a lot better then festool tracks, just saying because i have used the festool saw along with its tracks. The none slip pads on this are great.

I am sorry I do not have the answer to this question I have only Makita tools.

No but it kind of defeats the purpose of this saw. There are much cheaper options if you don't need or want the track system.

I really couldn't say for sure. However, the holes in the removable rails seem to have a rather flexible arrangement to allow for other brand saws to be used. You may want to download the instructions from the DeWalt website to see if dimensions are available.

i made it work with Dewalt track saw and a porter cable bench jointer. worked great, but needed to buy special connections from a hardware store. it is a great dust extractor.

As long as the train wheels fit, U can use any track that U desire. Make sure that the transformer works on the track.

The combination of a Festool Track Saw, the Festool Parallel Guide Set, a set of Dewalt Tracksaw clamps, a handful of fast clamps (eg Irwin) and a multiform or breakdown table complete the functionality needed. The table I use is an approx. 3x6 foot frame made up from 1x4s with a cross-grid of ladder-like rungs in the middle. It's a sacrificial cutting surface. It is placed over a couple sawhorses and provides support and clamping surfaces to run your track saw. When needed the Parallel Guides fit in between the cross-grid members. The 75" track works better than the 55" because of the extra length.

Yes you can, if it doesn't fit properly it comes with brackets you can use and just about any saw will work.

If your asking about the "Type" of track, YES. Festool Track is all the same - No Matter what Saw you purchase or Router you Buy - the track is the same.I've used my Festool TS 75 to cutout cabinets in the morning then Route Dado's for shelf standards in the afternoon !!
