Searched but did not find answer. I swear I read about this here but am blind I guess.
I have a corded Festool TS55 and several tracks but it gets used in a basement shop. I need to cut down sheet goods in the garage or driveway and it is a pain having to run up and down the stairs for the saw. Yea I am old and crippled. ;)
Thinking of the battery Makita track saw as I have lots of other Makita stuff and plenty of batteries and chargers. Price is right at 350 for the tool while getting a Festool is 820 as I have no 18volt Festool stuff. Yea I lose the riving knife but can live with that for sheet goods.
So can the Makita be adjusted close to the rubber on the Festool rail? I want to be able to use both saws on a couple of the rails and still want the edge to reference the cut off of.
Thanks!
Pete
