There's basically no run-out on two bits of track due to the way the track connecting bars work. I didn't understand it until i had them in my hand. The connecting bars are self-centering (100%) and align based on the reference surface on the inside surface of the extruded channels. So they align as straight as your track is extruded. The gap between two bits of tracks has nothing to do with alignment with these bars, just leave 1mm of space, job done.
Let's hope those who buy this track get a true straight track when connected together. The previous track, that I own, doesn't have square ends so when butted together it is way off straight. I need to use a 2mm spacer on one side of the track to get a straight track. Luckily I rarely need a long cut. Evolution customer services were useless, put me off buying anything off Evolution.
Sedge says in the Festool videos that the Festool tracks do not have square ends and they should not be butted up against each. You need a straight edge like a long spirit level to line up the rear edge and then tighten it up.
As a DIYer I used the old style for an oak veneered door for the very first time with the Evolution R185CCSX. Terrible. Track did not connect properly and you could physically see a slight bend. Regarding a suitable blade would you use 40T or 80T and in several passes to avoid damaging the veneer. Not the easy task I thought it would be. Thanks.
For veneer, get the most teeth you can. cut 2 or 3mm deep backwards as a first scoring cut. I get clean cuts using my Makita track and an ordinary Makita circular saw with an accessory to fit on track. 80T preferable
It doesn’t look like it will, you can check here: shop.evolutionpowertools.com/products/evolution-st2800-g2-universal-2-8m-circular-saw-track-1400mm-x2-with-self-aligning-connectors
In Peter Mullard's review ruclips.net/video/HtJFtP-kDPI/видео.html (at 13:46) he showed the Parkside saw being used on these new tracks. So, yes you can.
Well well well I'm glad I seen this today. I have the Bosch plunge saw and got 2 800mm lengths of track 160 for 2.4 was gonna be 240 and mine only fits either it or festool or mafell. Know what I'll be buying next week. Cheers jack. Save me pretty penny. Does it have the trim bar you gotta remove to start with? And is it solid without the clamps?? 🏴👍
Erbauer, is pronounced er-bow-er... bow, like a ships bow, its German I guess... Made me laugh when you said "Aruba". Like the beach boys song🤣. Nice review. 👍
It doesn't mention them on their website but as other people have pointed out there seems to be some 'confirmed' compatible saws (Like the Parkside) that are also not listed so perhaps their list doesn't include everything?

Hello, Just an FYI the link above doesn't work. Keep the great content coming, been following for a few months now and love the content.
@@jackrouse2339 Updated! Thanks for letting me know!
You can add Dewalt DWS520 to the compatibility list. I tested it in a YT Short.
Amazing, that's good to know!
good review, i built my own but will get one in the future
Thanks 🙏
Just got them for my festool saw. Excellent value and quality
Yes they are!
Hi,am having evolution R185 circular saw.Can you suggest a track saw for this..
Google is your friend 😛
No tracks are that square to simply butt up in my mind. I leave a small gap and use a good straight edge.
I think it depends on the job, if I needed to be super accurate then I’d measure and butt up the tracks to my marks.
Mark’s comment is on the money here. He is talking about joining the tracks, not lining up the final cut.
There's basically no run-out on two bits of track due to the way the track connecting bars work. I didn't understand it until i had them in my hand. The connecting bars are self-centering (100%) and align based on the reference surface on the inside surface of the extruded channels. So they align as straight as your track is extruded.

does work with fonson square guide?
Check out their website
Nice review mate. I’m just filming mine at the moment. Such an improvement over the old tracks (and saw)!
Thanks 🙏

Sorry to hear that you had issues! You should let them know and they might replace them!

I'm pretty certain even Festool track doesn't guarantee square ends so you should leave a little gap, not squash them together.
Thank you offer still works x
You’re welcome 😊

I'd probs go with an 80T for a finer cut and finish 👍

Is the track square attachment compatible with the older track???
No, they only work with the new tracks.
The square comes with 2 different clips, one for old tracks, one for the new tracks.
Can a parkside tracksaw be used with the rails ?

I was looking at the Evolution website, thanks for confirming!

Haha glad I could help! Yes there’s a trim bar that you cut after first using it. And yes it’s grippy without the clamps!
@@sumeraybuilds great will get one them ordered this week with your code. 🏴👍

Haha whoops! 😳
ErBaur is British scam from kingfisher group making a German sounding brand building the worst tools on the market, hands down
It means Builder in German 👍
couldn't you have posted this 3 weeks ago?? I just paid twice as much for a new 1900mm Festool track 🤑🤣🤣🤣
Sorry! I'm sure your Festool tracks are awesome though!
Shame it's not compatible with milwaukee
The original one work perfect with Milwaukee so these should be grand too
