Lidl Track Saw

Axminster usually do relatively cheap versions of Festoolish products - eg clamps: http://www.axminster.co.uk/axminster-gu ... p-ax954939

And you could upgrade/rejuvenate the cushion strips on the tracks themselves: http://www.axminster.co.uk/festool-self ... ils-211238

Lild saws fit perfectly on the festool tracks, when there are sales on they can be had for a pretty good price, I bought a 1.4m track for under £40 I think.

Yes........
but that's still more than I paid for the saw!

Granted, but I highly doubt you will do better. Large custom aluminium extrusion like that is not cheap.

Hmmm - the boxes quite often seem to get damaged.............
wonder if the pieces of track might fall out..................

£70 for 2x700mm tacks is a good price. Who wants the saw for £20, sans track? :lol:

Having had this track saw for over a year when they were last on offer all i would say is it is amazing. At the time there was a lot of comments that the track was to short but if it was longer it would not be a £70 saw and l would not own it. I have no problems sliding the track along for longer cuts.

The Makita track clams are one of the cheapest, if they fit...

I had to grind the heads a bit to get them to slide all the way into my Dewalt tracks.

I think I paid about £15 or so for 2x festool clamps of this style, they obviously fit my festool track but also the lidl track and are useful for other clamping jobs too.
