As a carpenter cabinet maker for 50+ years, I've always found that on material which chip or break out easily, I tend to double cut ,in other words i scribe the surface first around 1mm deep ,and then I plunge to full depth. It works for me, hope this helps somebody.

I don't have one of these saws (yet!!) but several years ago I bought a table saw from one of the discount supermarkets. The blade supplied was dreadful, and you do need to pay a bit more to get a decent blade. Once I replaced the rubbishy blade the cuts were excellent. I have several Parkside branded tools from Lidl and I've got no complaints about any of them.

I buy Parkside tools, not because of their low price but for their high quality. I have seen many complaints about the Festool including the poor quality dust collection. I have seen many comments also about needing to buy expensive industrial tools because of the need for more power. This is a fallacy. Some DIY tools are more powerful than their industrial counterparts. The difference between DIY tools and industrial tools lies between the ratings of their armatures and field coils and not their power ratings. These can vary from 150 hour to 5000 hour. Most DIY tools suffer short terms of usage and lots of abuse and misuse. The only Parkside Tool I have burned out was a. Vacuum cleaner used for many hours at a time and it's sister vac is still going strong after 6 years. My experience involves selling power tools, hiring them and repairing them and I am fully trained in the Bosch organisation. I have been involved with power tools for over 50 of my 77 years.

Parkside track saw - died in one day and cuts only 1 pack of laminated 7mm desks) Warranty not responding. Maybe 5 years ago it was nice, but currently Parkside is a piece of sh&t in quality and support.

I have had one of these saws for about a year now & would highly recommend it, based on the price & build quality. Of course, a Festool is going to give you more accuracy & reliability but if you're a hobbyist, this will last you many years (comes with a 3 year warranty). I found the stock blade adequate but treated myself to a nice Freud blade with a higher tooth count, which makes really nice cuts. I did have to remove the riving knife as it was thicker than the Freud blade & would get pinched in the cut. As it is on a track, which I clamp down & keep my hands off, the absence of this safety feature isn't as big an issues as on a table saw, where it is essential. I thought I would use it a lot more, having watched lots of Peter Millard videos, but it is a bit of a hassle to set up the track, wires, dust hose, clamps etc... & tend to use the bandsaw or tablesaw for most cuts. However, when I have large cuts to make or I'm working away from my workshop, this is indispensable. Much better than a circular saw running against a clamp on guide fence, which works but isn't as accurate & has a higher chance of kickback. The fence & the fact the blade will retract makes this a lot safer, in my opinion. Would I recommend for professionals? I guess it depends on how often you use it. How fine a cut you need etc... For general carpentry, I think it would do a good job. For fine furniture making, it's probably worth investing in the accuracy of a more expensive brand. For longevity, even if it stopped working in half the time, if you're paying 1/10 of the price...

The riving knife indeed got pinched in the cut and touched the blade :( Is there an instruction on how to remove or adjust the riving knife?
@McMonkeyful
Жыл бұрын
@@antonindrawan I believe I just took the blade cover plate off & undid the riving knife with an alan key or similar. It was very easy. No hidden screws popping out etc... I usually wouldn't remove safety features but in the case of the track saw I think it's not essential due to the way it cuts. If I can find a thinner riving knife then I'll put it back on but it's not as crucial as the one on a tablesaw in my opinion.

I have bought a saw like this and changed a blade for DeWalt 36 T. It is really good enough. And it is a small difference between Parkside and for example Bosch o Makita. Parside costs 400 PLN and Bosch 1800 PLN without the blade of course. (1 Euro - 4,3 PLN) For people who use this a few times a year it will be really good.

In Italy this blade is known as “immersion” or “deep” blade. I have an issue with this description as I thought it was a regular circular saw, But the wrist plunging action mechanism has me confused as I tried t a couple of times and it kicked back horribly Is it by meant to work as the “old” style saws with the metal guard that circles back an forth? What am Indoinf wrong? Thanks! Subbed

Un Mapa you need to let it spin up to full speed before pushing the blade down. And obviously, you dont start the motor with blade touching cutting material/down position, so upper neutral position spin motor to full speed which only takes a second or two then plunge. Also, securing material and clamping tracks on it helps a lot. you should experience no kickback at all. There was no kickback in this video and that was with no clamps.
@StCreed

@@unmapa5767 I never have kickback. But as the other posters say: let it spin up to full speed first, make sure it is in position on the rail before you start the cut, and slowly but firmly let it plunge in the material (don't ram it in!). I have experienced kickback with this saw only once, when I was in a hurry and dropped it before it was up to speed in 6cm hardwood multiplex. It didn't kick back much even so.

Good saw after tune, align blade to base, align 90/45 degree, other blade, other rail or modify both to 90 degree. Best tune is get rid of the wobble, remove pin from pivot point and place 2 shim rings aprrox 0,1, or 0,2 mm and the wobble is almost gone and the saw is just as good as a Makita.

very nice video, I think this saw is miles better than usual low budget saws, I just never seen it in lidl. I have a lot of parkside tools and find them very good, I get professional results with them even though I am not a pro. To me features dont matter much but quality of cut must be perfect/at pro level otherwise its waste of time and money, so with that in mind, do you think you could get perfect cut with high end blade? Another question, how does the blade sit on the line when in 45° position? I have seen reports of scheppach not sitting right when bewel cutting and parside is scheppach when it comes to plunge track saw? cheers

Definitely. Remember that a machine is only as good as the tool that is on it. In this case the saw blade. The cost price of a quality saw blade is a significant part of the machine cost. It saves nothing to save on a new saw blade. The mounted saw blades look like they were not produced "within Europe".

If this saw cuts in the middle of the material or further away from the edge, there may be a problem with the hose line from the vacuum cleaner. The plain ribbed hose catches on the edge of the material and can sometimes lift the saw. I designed a hose guide that simply clips onto the bar and a saw-to-hose outlet adapter that has a smaller angle than the original. There is no need to hold the hose by hand. kzitem.info/news/bejne/ymhtnKmHmouJq3o
