Showerthought: Paying $450 for a Festool track saw finally clicked for me today

I've been fighting with a circular saw and a straight edge for years on panel cuts. Decided to bite the bullet and grab a used TS 55 off a guy in Portland last week. First cut on a sheet of baltic birch and it blew my mind. No more sanding out wobbles, no more tape measure errors. Wish I had done this 5 years ago instead of burning cash on cheap clamps and jigs. Anyone else have that one tool they put off buying and regretted waiting?

Respectfully disagree. A decent square and skill saw can get you there for way less.

Hear you on that. Plenty of projects get done just fine with basic tools and a steady hand.
