Makita Corded Track Saw – A Game-Changer in the Shop
#commissionsearned
At Cross Creek Studio, every slab, board, and live edge piece starts with precision—and that’s where the Makita Corded Track Saw comes in.
This saw isn’t just a tool. It’s a cornerstone of clean cuts, straight lines, and dead-on accuracy. Whether I’m breaking down rough-sawn slabs or slicing into hardwood with surgical precision, the Makita delivers smooth, splinter-free results every time.
Why the Makita Corded Track Saw?
Accurate as a Cabinet Saw – With the right setup and guide rail, it rivals the quality of a table saw without needing a 500-lb footprint.
Splinter-Free Cuts – Thanks to its scoring feature and fine-toothed blade, even delicate veneers stay clean.
Track-Ready Control – The plunge design and guide rail system make straight cuts effortless, especially on large slabs or awkward angles.
Built for the Long Haul – It’s corded, which means no battery swapping and no drop in power halfway through a 12' slab of walnut.
What It Means for Cross Creek Studio
I use this saw almost daily on custom projects—whether I’m building a live edge bench from a storm-felled oak or prepping a slab for a river table. The Makita helps me honor the material by making the cleanest, most accurate cuts possible, turning discarded trees into pieces that last for generations.

If you're a woodworker who cares about craftsmanship—and if you’ve ever wrestled with warped plywood or heavy slabs—you know the importance of the first cut. For me, the Makita Corded Track Saw makes sure that cut is always right.
