    Found a dewalt DWS520K Track saw at an estate sale today, looked like it had made maybe 4 cuts since new. 75 bucks. The only downside that I couldn’t find the track(s). So now I’m on the hunt. I suspect this 59” will do 90% of what I’m expecting out of this saw. Any words of wisdom for someone who’s never owned, or used a tracksaw before? Or is there another brand of track that fits my saw(besides festool), I may find cheaper options for?

    55" track for $90 is pretty cheap

    Nice, thank you guys. I hadn’t found the powertec one yet, I’ll save that if I need more track. Ended up getting that 59” last night for $70.

    Even if I decide I’m not using it like I thought I would be, I’m sure I could sell it for more than the 150ish I’ve got in the whole setup.

    Some progress on the night stand...had a really tough time getting the all the wood stained to the same color since all the wood was different colors to begin with. Oh well, it’s a table and it’ll have stuff on top of it.

    this was the best I could get the stain on the top. Don’t know why that picture is upside down lol.

    The sides and legs have about 5 coats of poly on and I think that’ll do.

    You are making me feel old. My youngest is a senior in high school. The other just started graduate school. Hell, I may be making baby beds for grandkids before too long.
