Fantastic rails - works with Wen tracksaw
Rails are machined well, easy to setup and use. The case is padded and has been excellent storage for the rails, connector bars, and also a track square I have. It has been nice for storage in my small shop with limited space. Using my Wen track saw has been a perfect fit, accurate cuts every time.

Much better than the Milwaukee track rails
I use Festool and Milwaukee. Although Festool has a slightly better product in general, I really enjoy the convenience of the Milwaukee batteries.Pros compared to Milwaukee:- the biggest pro by far is the rubber splitter, it’s way better!! It’s thicker and more rigid and feels like it’s apart of the track rather than a piece of crappy door seal. I’ve replaced the rubber splitter twice on Milwaukee rail. It peals off when the slightest amount of dust gets in there or warm weather releases the tape.- slides a lot easier due to the ribs in the plastic sliders.- grips better to cutting service.Cons so far:- very slightly out of square on one of the edges. Meaning you just have to double check when connecting them end to end to get a perfectly straight line.

Makita track saw approved
These tracks are perfect for my Makita track saw. It slides very smoothly across the track without any hiccups between the two tracks.

Great price but rubber falls off
These tracks are working great but the rubber is falling off the bottom right out of the box.They cut straight. Good quality metal and the bag is perfect.Again, the only issue is the the rubber not staying attached to the track is starting to get very frustrating.

Poor quality
I bought the 110” set and it received it with the plastic track ends already falling off. Decided to roll with it. Obviously, problem got worse. Even the rubber strips that run down the middle are coming off.

Please Don’t Buy This! Powertec, Do Better!
I’m one of those “don’t really review unless it’s really terrible” type of people. When I shop on Amazon I take negative reviews with a grain of salt. Sometimes I think it’s user error or a “one-off” faulty product.In my case I know it’s not user error, but perhaps it’s a “one-off” but it’s a very expensive one-off for me.I have the cordless DeWalt track saw and I needed a track long enough to rip 8’ plywood sheets. I wanted the genuine track. I would have paid the extra money for the track…but I couldn’t find it in stock anywhere. Every site I searched said it would take 3-4 weeks to ship. I needed it right away.I use to have the Wen track saw and had the Powertec track and it worked great. I decided to buy the Powertec track for my DeWalt saw.I read a lot of bad reviews about the splinter guard not staying on but didn’t worry about it. Sure enough, when I got the saw I had the same problem. Splinter guard would not stick. I peeled it all off and used fastback tape to reapply and it still peeled off. I spent $30 to buy Makita splintergaurd tape and that worked perfectly.On to the REAL problem: my first cut was an 8’ rip 12” wide. After trimming the splinter guard I moved on to working with the track. As I made my cut I realized the 12” wide strip was a 1/16” more narrow in the middle!!! I thought. It was a flaw in the track design. There is only one rail holding the two track pieces steady. I thought maybe they flexed as I was cutting.I used JB Weld to fuse the two tracks together in hopes the two pieces wouldn’t flex during my next cuts. Used a level to check the splinter guard and saw that it was perfect!Made two more rips on a sheet of plywood and noticed I was still off a 1/16” of an inch halfway through the 8’ rip.I realized the rail that the saw rides along was off!! 😡I can’t fix the track. Plywood is so expensive right now (note:I was cutting 3/4” cherry plywood) and I spent extra money on new splinter guard.I could contact Powertec and ask that they send me a new track, but I doubt they will reimburse me for the $100 sheet of ruined plywood, the $30 in splinter guard, $12 in fastback tape and $8 in JB weld.I’m just going to use my mitersaw to chop this piece of junk in half again (as it came) and send it back and wait for the 102” Dewalt track. Hopefully I’ll have better luck.

Works great
I have used this several times. The track is a must have if you are using a track saw. This one was less money than a saw name brand but it is 100% accurate.

Work, but nowhere near as good as the Dewalt branded units
Works for Dewalt saws as described but they're not at the quality level as the Dewalt tracks. If I could have found the Dewalt branded tracks, I would have bought those instead and would advise the same. 1 big drawback is the adhesive holding the strips in place is not good at all. Within hours of the first use, they were peeling up/off and I have to reset them constantly. This is especially annoying when I have the tracks mated together because they peel at the ends and as you move the saw across the lip, the saw's leading edge lifts the peeling guide and then peels it up like an apple skin. You have to stop the cut, remove the saw, reset the guide strip.. Etc. Regarding using two tracks together, the Dewalt OEM version has chamfer in the extrusion and on the adapter bar such that when you tighten the set screws, the 2 angled surfaces attempt to center the adapter in the extrusion, thereby attempting to center /align the tracks to each other. These tracks have no such features. The surfaces are all just rectangular, which means there has to be some side to side play between the adapter bar and the extrusion.. Thus, if you don't specifically try to align the extrusions together, then the tracks will be misaligned when you tighten the set screws and your saw will jam as you try to traverse the seam.
