The least expensive track saw I tested, the Grizzly has enough power and ability to get basic tasks done at a decent level of quality. The simplicity of the tool makes it easy to use, but it has the smallest motor of all the saws and lacks both variable speed and a soft start. It’s also not a very comfortable saw to use. The safety switch is tough to reach with your thumb, and the plunge mechanism has a very strong spring that makes cutting tiring. Also, when I tried to dial in a specific angle, I found the bevel markings to be unclear. The dust collection was good but not great. For occasional use, this tool will get the job done, but if you plan on using your track saw often, it’s worth upgrading.
