Do I need a track saw?

So how did you make less than 4 cuts for the throat horn and the sides? Just saying ...

What are you asking? I did 6 DR250s with mostly with a Makita plunge saw, not exclusively the Makita, I usually use the best tool for the job at my disposal.

If you can make a panel jig, they jive real well with plunge saws. Especially for small cuts, along with scraps to bridge over the small piece.

Haven't built any DRs yet? Check out some build threads. Lots of beveled cuts and non rectangular shapes.

I have done 2 DR250 and 2 T39:s with the track saw. The Omni 12, 3 wedgehorns and two J10 were built with the old circular. The wedges in particular were no fun, which was why I invested in the track saw...

Well, yes, they were certainly 4 cuts. The trick is to make one cut, and THEN measure the opposing, regardless of whether they're parallel or not. That way the errors don't add to each other.

Doh. So obvious, unless you're oblivious.

I've been thinking about redoing my throats horns anyway. Not happy about the variation in size amongst them.
