Anyone have one of these?....

(Yeah I know it's probably pushing the 'buy dung, get dung' envelope but I have the dilemma of needing one, but only quite rarely!)

If you have one (go on...admit it!) what the hell are the dimensions of that track??? (think it's 100mm wide)

I ordered one yesterday (£59.99) partly on the supplier's answer to another guy's question 'Can you purchase extra track sections , could do with 1800mm overall?' Answer being 'We don't currently sell extra track sections however this product should be compatible with most other brands of track.'

Hmmmmm.....upon searching I don't seem to be seeing anything like it!

....and on a side note after looking around, how much do they want to charge for a piece of extruded aluminium for God's sake!!!!

Weirdly Makita 1.4M @ £39.00 Scheppach upwards of £80.00 :shock:

So to conclude, rant over, does anyone know of other tracks that are compatible for a non extortionate price? (at this rate it would be cheaper just ordering another, keeping the saw and bits for spares and doubling up the track)

Thanks guys

Post a pic of the track when it arrives, I have a number old lengths of Parkside track which might be compatible.

Hi Setch - some good pics (bottom two) of the track here....

Doesn't look promising, the pics make it look like the track is much narrower than standard makita/Festool/Titan. Take some measurement once you've got it in front of you and if it's suitable I'll sort you out.

Hey Setch many thanks, will do

Had a change of mind!

Hasn't arrived yet (due today) but negatives are starting to mount up (I know it's cheap but...)

Keep looking at the max depth of cut Track incompatability etc. etc.

I'll be banging it in for return without opening :roll:

Decided to go with this....

....not as cheap, but still budget, but also much better regarded.

I think I'm correct in saying the track is compatible with Makita so I'll be trying to get it up to 2.8M.

Setch - you have anything suitable? Will gladly pay a fair price!
