Expensive, but it works perfectly. It fits my Makita track, it has adjustable wheels to keep it tight, and a catch to lock it onto the track. It's well made and sturdy too. While I was thinking all-metal would have been nicer, the plastic actually glides effortlessly and friction free. Given the cost of the guide rails, clamps, storage bag etc. and my saw, the price of this is almost irrelevant.

This adapter works well and is a great alternative if you would rather not buy the track saw, but have the saw this adapter works for, and better versatility with tools this way.

It’s a good option if you don’t want to buy the actual track saw.

No es un buen producto. No es estable, se sale a la mínima de la guía. Me arrepiento de la compra y no la he devuelto por que la he probado hace poco tiempo.

Watch a YouTube video as to how it fits in the track and the saw. Works well once installed

The adapter instructions weren't too clear. However, with the diagram and a little fiddling, I was able to get the track plate attached without too much hassle. I paired this with the Wen 110" (55" x 2) tracks and it works pretty well. It isn't the smoothest slide but is manageable by keeping a hand on the adapter and a hand on the saw.If you already have the circular saw, it is an affordable step up into a track-saw-like setup.

My dad has a festool track saw and I have been borrowing it a lot. I don't have room or inclination to buy a table saw, and I do a lot with sheet goods and have other applications that call for perfect straight cuts. I don't need any of the tracksaw specific pieces that come on the expensive saws. This turns my $150 light and easy circular saw into a track saw that so far has made all of the cuts I've asked it to make. It is best on the Makita tracks, as there is a little tab that attaches into the rail and prevents it from rolling off, but it also functions on the festool tracks (which I tried). Adjustment is easy. Instructions could be a little more clear, but it really wasn't all that bad. If you're wanting to use this kind of saw you probably also have the aptitude to figure out the instructions. I think it could be priced a little lower for what it is, though.

Perfect for what I need it for. This isn't a track saw so don't compare it to one. It's great for what it's intended for.

It works as intended. What I don't like about it is that it seems quite fragile, and a little flimsy. Unfortunately with a cordless circular saw the saw has to sit on "the wrong side" of the track, meaning the saw cannot sit on top of the track like the plunge saw does. This makes it more difficult to make a cut with one hand on the saw and one hand on the track, but rather you need one hand on the adapter to keep it in place, and one hand on the saw.Cuts at 45 degrees is possible but does not work like the plunge saw. You have to release the two hand tightening screws on either side and slide the two sliders to the markings for 45 degree cuts. It is not one hundred percent accurate but pretty close.Another issue I had when I received the unit was that the sliders would not go into the slot they were supposed to. First I thought i was just putting them in the wrong way (they can only slide in from one side), but then I realized that there was an fabrication deficiency where one of the threaded nuts inside the slot was not fully flush with the rest of the material. So I had to use a nail set and a hammer and give it a couple of whacks to fully sink the nut in place. After that it worked fine.Even though this isn't quite the real deal track saw from makita, i'm pretty happy with the cuts it's producing. A smaller cordless saw will do fine for finishing work and this adapter will let you cut dead straight cuts, which is the reason you'd buy this in the first place. So some minor annoyances but overall it does what it set out to do. I would buy it again

I tried 2 of these and they came with the plastic body warped so they didn't sit flat on the track by about 1/8 to 3/16 of an inch. Once the saw was attached it seemed to track OK but in my opinion for 50 plus bucks the body should be straight and not look like a canoe rib.Amazon was great as usual and took both back as defective.
