I've had the Scheppach PL55 track saw for about a year now. The saw itself is generally fine, the guide rails in isolation are fine since they fixed the guide strips being close together. The issue I have with it is that its pretty hard to get a straight cut using multiple track sections.
I have both 0.7 and 1.4m guide rails and none of them fit together well. I'm not sure its a slop issue, they seem rigid enough, or the end of the rails not being exactly 90 degree which is most likely. I could mess about trying to recut all the rails to 90 but there are no guarantees. There is also the issue with the cut line at 45 degrees being off the normal cut line. All in all my advice would be don't go with the Scheppach.
What is everyone else using that's not break the bank Festool price? Does anyone else do a 2.7m long rail like Festool?
