Want mirror-finish cabinet edges? Stop sanding and start slicing.
Stop sanding the edge — cut it RIGHT.
If you’re building cabinets, clean edges matter. A bad cut shows up in seams, in paint, and in your temper.
Track saws give you SPLINTER-FREE, repeatable cuts. They save time, dust, and a lot of patching. Pick the right one and your doors and drawer fronts will look like shop-made perfection.
Our Top Picks
Festool TS 55 FEQ-F with 55" Guide Rail
You receive a fully integrated package—saw plus Festool guide rail—optimized for precision, dust control, and workflow speed. This configuration reduces setup guesswork and delivers the cleanest, most repeatable cabinet-grade edges straight out of the case.
Why choose the kit
Buying the Festool TS 55 FEQ-F with the 55" guide rail takes the guesswork out of creating a high-performance cutting system. The rail is precisely machined to match the saw’s shoe geometry, so you get immediate alignment and consistently straight cuts without additional setup time.
Key benefits
This package is ideal if you regularly do cabinet doors, drawer fronts, or any finish-grade work where edge quality matters. By matching the saw to its rail and accessories you minimize variables and reduce the need for sanding or edge repair.
Real-world trade-offs
Festool TS 55 FEQ-F Plunge Track Saw
You get near-perfect splinter control, a refined dust extraction interface, and a motor tuned for consistent torque at higher feed rates. This saw is engineered to deliver repeatable, mirror-finish cuts with professional reliability.
Purpose and performance
The Festool TS 55 FEQ-F is designed for professionals and serious hobbyists who demand perfect edge quality and fast throughput. It focuses on delivering almost-splinter-free results on both faces of sheet goods and does it quickly thanks to blade and motor improvements.
Standout features
Because Festool optimizes the machine and blades as a system, you'll notice better performance with Festool blades and dust extraction. If you want to use a third-party extractor, be prepared to adapt the fittings.
Practical considerations
Makita 6-1/2" Plunge Track Saw Kit
You get a powerful, portable plunge saw that pairs exceptionally well with aftermarket accessories and tracks. It balances weight, power, and accuracy to make clean, cabinet-grade cuts without the price of premium systems.
What this saw is for
The Makita SP6000J1 is built to be a lightweight, high-accuracy plunge circular saw that pairs with a 55" guide rail for long, splinter-free cuts. If you want a portable alternative to a table saw for breaking down sheet goods—especially when you work alone—this kit is designed to save setup time while delivering cabinet-grade edges.
Key features and benefits
These attributes give you the combination of power and control needed for clean cuts in plywood, MDF, and most solid woods. The included 55" guide rail helps you maintain straight cuts over long panels; if you already own compatible track accessories, the Makita fits well into that ecosystem.
Practical notes and limitations
Who should buy it
If you want a highly capable, economical track saw that’s light enough for jobsite use and integrates with a wide range of aftermarket jigs and accessories, this Makita kit is an excellent choice. If you need the absolute fastest cutting speeds or top-tier dust extraction out of the box, consider higher-end systems, but for value and performance this saw is hard to beat.
DEWALT FLEXVOLT 6-1/2" Cordless TrackSaw Kit
You get the convenience of cordless operation without a major sacrifice in cutting capacity or power. The FLEXVOLT battery provides long runtime and the saw’s anti-kickback and riving knife features make on-track work safer and cleaner.
The cordless advantage
If you frequently work where cords are a nuisance—jobsite rafters, large panels in the field, or remote locations—the DEWALT FLEXVOLT DCS520T1 brings the power of a corded track saw with battery convenience. The included 6.0Ah FLEXVOLT battery gives you extended runtime and strong cutting performance up to 2-1/8" depth at 90°.
Notable features
The on-track depth scale accounts for track thickness, making setup straightforward. The saw extracts a high percentage of dust through the low-profile guard when connected to a good vacuum, improving visibility and finish quality.
Practical tips and limitations
Bosch GKT13-225L Track Kit with 63" Rails
You receive a complete package that includes long tracks and connectors, delivering straight, repeatable cuts right away. The included rails make it easy to break down full sheets and get consistent results without buying extras.
What the kit delivers
This Bosch package combines the GKT13-225L plunge saw with a pair of 63" tracks, connectors, and a carrying bag so you can start cutting full panels immediately. It’s the practical choice if you want to avoid sourcing tracks separately and prefer a matched ecosystem.
Why the tracks matter
With this kit you minimize setup time and gain consistent edges over long cuts—especially valuable when you need to break down plywood or countertop material on your own.
Considerations before buying
DEWALT 6-1/2" Cordless TrackSaw (Tool Only)
You can add a cordless track saw to your existing DEWALT ecosystem without buying another battery, making it an economical upgrade. It offers the same zero-clearance track performance and on-track safety features found in the full kit.
Who this is for
If you already own DEWALT 60V FLEXVOLT batteries or want to purchase the saw without redundant batteries, the DCS520B bare tool is a practical choice. It delivers the same mechanical features—plunge action, riving knife, and on-track zero-clearance cutting—while letting you control accessory and battery choices.
What to expect
This option is especially attractive if you already rely on DEWALT batteries across your toolset—installation is plug-and-play and keeps your total ownership cost down.
