Track Saw vs Circular Saw-which is best for your project March 19, 2020 By pervezWe use a saw for cutting wood or any material. In the market, we can find a lot of saws and it will do our desired work. If you are a woodcutter then a track saw will help you. A track saw is a handheld circular saw, on the other hand, a circular saw is one kind of power saw which helps to cut woods or any material.We can use track saw and circular saw for cutting woods and other materials like tile, brick. But there is a difference between them. We have to know what is Track Saw vs Circular Saw. see the difference between them given below.
Track Saw vs Circular Saw Lets Have a quick look into these A user uses a saw for different cutting purposes circular saw and track saw is one of them. The track saw is used for cutting woods and circular saw also used for cutting woods too But both of them are used for different purposes.

Circular Saw

We use a circular saw for cutting woods and it uses a round blade lined sharp metal blade. A circular saw is used for cutting woods, plastic, metal, and masonry. Circular saw is an electrical saw and it runs through electricity. There are some things in a circular saw and they are-
  • An on/off switch
  • A handle and upper guard
  • A cutting blade and lower blade guard
Safety Procedure Circular saw is a powerful tool and it is dangerous too. A user must wear safety equipment while using this circular saw. Moreover, this tool can produce a lot of dust so better is use masks for it. We have to hold the saw perfectly with both hands so that it will not move from the place.
If you have enough time then you may go through the article- Top Circular saw Buying Guide.

Track Saw

The track saw is a handheld circular saw and this helps a user to cut logs accurately. A track saw can cut any log faster than a circular saw because they are lightweight and portable. The layer on a track saw creates an effective dust trap and also doesn't just enclose the blade.
The track saw is suitable in any situation because of its rubber strips at the bottom. It is easy to cut and no need for measurement and it can make a big cut into small pieces.
The Benefit of Track Saw
  • A track saw is easy to move
  • Smooth and clean cuts
  • Long meters for cutting any objects
Mainly a track is easy to move from one place to another place and it will give a user smooth and clean cuts than other saws in the market. Easy to cut no measurement needs to cut a log or any material just line it up and cut it. No guesswork or measurement is needed to cut woods.
Should a User Choose a Track or Circular Saw? A track saw and circular saw both of them these are using for cutting any material or woods or a tile or metal and plastic things. The track saw is one kind of circular saw which is portable and easy to use than a circular saw.
A circular saw is a powerful and electrical saw. The user has to be careful while using this saw because any single mistake can risk his life. So if a user loves to use a handheld saw then he should go for a track saw and if he wants a powerful saw then he should go for a circular saw.

Circular Vs TrackSaw

Track saw and circular saw both of them use a circular blade but track saw blades are less uncover. The major and main difference between them is one is easy to move another is complex to move. Another difference is track saw provides a better cut and smooth performance than a circular saw.
Circular saw creates more dust than a track saw because in a track saw a dust filter contain on it(track saw). The circular saw is best for construction purposes because it can give you the best performance than a track saw. If you are going to cut lumber or a tree on a roof than a circular saw can help you better than a track saw.
So better is if a user wants to use a portable lightweight saw than track saw is better for him. But if he wants to use a saw that provides more facility than circular saw is for him.

Final Words Both of this saw is perfect for cutting wood or any kind of material. A track saw is portable and lightweight on the other hand a circular saw is more powerful than any other saw. You can carry a track saw with you in your shoulder but can't carry a circular saw with you.
So if you want a lightweight saw then track is for you or if you want a powerful saw then circular saw is for you.

My Blue Laser

Ever wish you could make that perfect cut the first time with your miter saw or table saw ? Simple if you put a strip of wide blue tape on base of saw and cut the tape with your saw ! Now you know where the blade will cut, now mark your wood, move the wood and the pencil mark to edge of tape that you just cut and cut it. That simple and easy to calibrate verses the red lasers that come on some saws that to me never work right to begin with.

How to cut a piece of 7.5"lamin wood floor with a 10" miter saw to get staight cut. I didnt think 10" miter saw could only cut maybe 6" wood wide.

your cuts will only as accurate as the saw setup is. Unless it cuts exactly at 90 degrees there will a slight mismatch of edge. Cut with saw and the turn over. place tape on the uncut laminate side and line the kerf up with blade and make second cut.

When cutting 7.5" laminate wood floor with 12" miter saw. When we cut, the very end of wood(1.25"at the same place on every piece). Does this mean blade is dull?

Hi Shaun:
Just a couple of things to try:
- Make sure the laminate is supported at both sides when cutting.
- Make sure the laminate is held firmly against the fence and deck when cutting.
- Do not "rush" the cut. Laminate is very hard and does not like to be hurried.
- Make sure that the correct blade (teeth) is being used.
- And yes, the blade has to be SHARP

How do u life up the saw sleeve (the thing u move to cut the wood) on my Kobalt 10-in 15-Amp Sliding Compound Laser Miter Saw

If your saw is completely intact, meaning no missing or damaged parts, the blade guard should rotate out of the way of cutting as the saw head is lowered to make a cut. You didn't give your model number but there should be a push rod or link plate from the pivot point on the base to the blade cover that pushes the guard out of the way as the head is pivotted downward. If you have the cutting head locked down to make sliding cuts the guard should be up and out of the way. If this isn't happening you may have broken or missing parts of the guard system.

What is a miter saw?

Miter saw, similar to circular saw, use a flat circular blade to cut wood, MDF and other materials including plastic and aluminum (with proper blades). But it also has special features to do accurate crosscuts. The tool can also cut bevel and make "miters" - cuts at any angle other than 90° ( miter vs circular saw)

The saw is producing blue acrid smoke upon use. I am using a vacuum to evacuate the shavings, but the saw itself does not seem to be cutting the wood. I am using a hardwood and feeding it slowly into the...

check the blade, it sounds like it is burning the wood instead of cutting it. I would recommend using a carbide tipped blade for the hardwood. Let me know if you need more assistnace.

I can't get this saw to cut straight or square I

Band saws pull to one side on straight cuts, it's a function of the blade torque. My 14" saw pulls to the right. There's nothing you can do to stop this, you have to be aware of it so you account for it on free cuts and know to put your fence on that side so the wood pulls into the fence instead of away from it. Squaring the blade to the table is easier. Do not go by the tilt angle guide. First make absoutely sure all of your blade guides and bearings are properly alligned so they aren't pushing the blade out of line. Use a square to get it close then: using a 4" x 4" block of wood, make a light cut in the wood only deep enough to mark the wood from top to bottom. Turn the block over 180 and try to make a cut in the previous cut mark. If the cuts line up you're there. If you get a V or X you have to make adjustments to the table making sure you tighten the trunion locks tight. I had one of these, it's not a high end saw so don't expect a lot from it.

Not cutting through wood. Cuts are diminishing.

Sounds like the wood your cutting through is to hard for your battery powered saw....try one with a cord they work much better, especially for hardwood's.
