One less pcp would pay circa £500. That would get a top tier saw and tracks. There appears to be many for less.

Call me slow, but I never realised that they did saws as well as tracks. I'll take a look.
Thanks!

I only came across his videos yesterday when I was looking for replacement splinter strips for my DeWalt saw tracks , he buys rubber strip from engineering suppliers and fits it with double sided tape at a fraction of the cost of buying the genuine item , I've ordered some but in the short term used another of his suggestions , remove the old strip and refit it nearer the edge of the track and recut it

He has others on the subject. He's looked at most of them, including the Evolution n Parkside

Thanks for your assistance chaps!
I've reached my decision, based partly on my own investigations, partly on the advice above and partly on reaching a better understanding of what I (think) I need and what is actually available.
I only need it to cut and trim sheet materials. I want the convenience of being able to carefully position a track then simply drop a saw on it and cut away without the awkwardness of having to push against the blade guard - something which has often seemed a bit tricky if space is limited or workpiece restraint is less than ideal. There is a significant price gap between budget plunge saws and the "quality", partly due to the need to buy into yet another battery system. If it was for work or a serious hobby I wouldn't mind, but for occasional projects at home I can't really justify the outlay.
I've decided to go with the Einhell corded plunge saw and an Evolution track kit. If the saw disappoints, and there's no tangible reason to think it will, I'll replace it with a higher qualitycircular saw - and reuse the track.
It's good to have a plan, of sorts!

I know this is an old thread, but I bought a titan tracksaw about 9 years ago after watching the lad on YouTube (Peter Millard) as the titan used Makita style tracks which can be bought quite cheaply apart from blades the saw has been really good and reliable and has certainly had some abuse, like the time when I screwed the track to a 6ft fence and cut it down to 4ft by using the anti tilt locks on the saw it stayed on the track the whole time

What are you like?
I can just imagine relaxing with a G&T on the other side of the fence then seeing the teeth appear and move across. Real Wiley Coyote stuff!
