Track Saw Guide Rails, Blades & Accessories

A track saw is a circular saw designed to ride along a precision aluminum guide rail (track). The base of the saw interlocks with the track and glides smoothly, keeping the blade perfectly aligned for a dead-straight cut every time. A standard circular saw with a straightedge can approximate this, but the interlocking track system provides superior accuracy, built-in chip protection on the cut edge, and a more controlled user experience.

It depends on the part. Track Master blades come in 160mm (Festool TS 55, Grizzly, Shop Fox), 165mm (Makita, DeWalt, Triton) and 210mm (Festool TS 75) sizes. The Triton clamps and connectors are made for Triton-style rails, and the Milescraft GuideRails and TrackSawSquare are made for the Milescraft TrackSawGuide. Not sure?

Yes. The Milescraft TrackSawGuide adds a universal base and aluminum guide rails to most circular saws with blades up to 7-1/4" (left- or right-hand, not worm-drive). It cuts about 50" out of the box, and the GuideRail extensions let you rip a full 8-foot sheet. It's the most affordable way to get track-saw accuracy without buying a new saw.

The track itself has a flexible rubber strip on the underside that presses down on the plywood surface right at the cut line, supporting the face veneer and preventing tearout. Using the correct blade — such as the Infinity track saw blade with the appropriate tooth count for the material — is equally important. Cut with the show face up for cleanest results on the top surface.

Track sections connect end-to-end using precision connector hardware. The Triton track connectors join two track sections flush and square, creating a seamless extended rail that can cut full 8-foot or longer panels without the saw bridging a joint. The Milescraft extension rails serve the same purpose within the Milescraft system.

A track saw is an excellent tool for beginners who work with sheet goods. It is safer than trying to maneuver a full sheet through a table saw, and the guide rail makes straight cuts accessible even without experience. For beginners building furniture, cabinets, or plywood projects, it is often the first power saw worth investing in. Visit the Infinity Tools learning center for getting-started guides.

A track saw handles sheet goods breakdown and long straight cuts exceptionally well. It cannot easily replace the table saw for repetitive rip cuts in solid lumber, dado and groove work, or small-part work where the table saw's fence and sled system excels. Most shops that own both tools use the track saw for breaking down panels and the table saw for precision joinery and solid wood work. See table saw accessories for that workflow.

The Milescraft TrackSaw Square hooks over the factory edge of the panel and aligns the guide rail at a perfect 90 degrees automatically. Without a squaring tool, you would need to measure from both ends of the panel to the track to confirm it is perpendicular — a two-person job that takes much longer than using a dedicated square.

For melamine and laminated panels, use a high tooth count blade — more teeth per inch means smaller chips and less chipping of the brittle laminate surface. The track's rubber edge strip also helps support the laminate at the cut line. For very demanding laminate work, score the cut line with a utility knife before sawing to sever the surface fibers ahead of the blade.

A blade with a high tooth count and a high-angle ATB grind. Track Master blades use 48 teeth (52 on the 210mm) with that grind and C4 micrograin carbide, which shears the face veneer cleanly instead of chipping it. Keep the rail's splinter strip in good shape too, since it supports the fibers right at the cut line.
