My Growth Rings with Scott Markwood
SHOP NOTES: Sure, the WEN Track Saw is well under $200 and the Kreg is under $400, but are they worth It?
Several weeks back our "Board of Directors" met for our monthly Zoom meeting and one of the things we discussed was the topic of stock prep of large stock, such as sheet goods. This video is the culmination of that discussion and features my sister Lisa (AKA: Lysol) as we compare two of the most reasonably priced Track Saws (AKA: Plunge Saw) on the market. Lisa and I both have Shopsmith-centric shops, and a reasonably priced track saw just bade sense to us both and it probably does for you too. The WEN saw is sold as the Titan and the Mac Allister by Screwfix in the UK. I look forward to your Questions, Comments, and Cheap-Shots in the mid-week follow-up, so be sure to leave something for me below.
