Track saw based shop?

[Prizen]

Hi all

Getting into some woodworking again. Bought a planer thicknesser but sold it on as too much cash to invest on conversion from 3 phase.

Figured I start off with some projects such as small cabinets, coffee table, a computer desk. Although first will be a workbench.

With the funds from the sale of the planer, I'm tthinking of getting a festool r mafell (mt55) track saw. I guess this will allow me breakdown ply etc, and do reasonably narrow rips as as well as crosscutting.

Other tools I have are drill/ drill driver, makita router( but might upgrade this, 1/4 " only, no soft start), a dowelmax jig ( which covers the joinery), a small 1/4 sheet sander, some clamps.

What additional tools would be recommended?

I would have a look at the festoon mft top system. this may be the festoon version itself, or buy a replica top from Ebay and use that with some parf dogs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0V-p5F7 ... gs=pl%2Cwn

Check out Peter Millard (10minuteworkshop) on YouTube. He's a member on here. His commercial workshop is pretty much entirely tracksaw based, and is a fantastic resource as to what can be done with these tools.
