Was wondering if the Makita track saw works on the Festool track?

Basically yes but for a good side by side comparison have a look here Festool vs. Makita Guide Rails: Just the Same? – workshoppist.com

Yes. I have regularly used a DSP600 on Festool FS1400/2 guide railsfor the last 3-1/2 years
The one issue is that the Makita trims the anti-splinter strip closer to the guide rail, so if you want to use the guide rails with a Festool saw after using a Makita you'll either need to replace the anti-splinter strips first, or alter the blade adjustment on the Festool to match the Makita.
The Festool TS55 saws will also run on Makita rails, but the Festool TS75 won't because the wider base plate fouls on the anti-tip feature on Makita rails
