Went with a track saw over a table saw for my last kitchen job in Austin

I was doing a full kitchen remodel in a 1920s house where the floors were all uneven. My buddy kept telling me to just rent a table saw, but I went with my track saw instead. Took me about 3 extra hours to break down the plywood sheets, but I had zero tearout and every cut was dead square despite the warped subfloor. Ended up only needing to sand one cabinet door edge the whole job. Has anyone else made this switch and regretted it for bigger production runs?

Track saws: making warped floors irrelevant since forever.

Zero tearout and dead square on warped subfloor" that right there is the real win most people miss. The track saw doesnt care if your floor is crooked or your workbench is a pile of junk. I did a closet system with particle board on a sloped garage floor and got cleaner edges than my friend's contractor saw at his flat shop. For big runs yeah its slower, but if you set up a stop block on your track you can rip like 10 panels in under 5 minutes. The dust collection is way better too, no bag getting clogged every 2 seconds.
