I recently purchased the 102” track so that I could cut up full sheets of plywood. I was very concerned about the shipping and the accuracy of the track after reading many reviews. To my suprise the track came packaged in a wooden custom made box. It is highly unlikely that it could get damaged on shipment. The track was square and very accurate. Apparently DeWalt go the message about improving their packaging. I am very pleased.

I have read a few reviews saying this track is too short. I agree it would help to have another 2" on it but I had no problems cutting full sheet with it. Since I have a crew cab truck and a trailer, transporting it isn't much of a problem. Its real sweet being able to set a couple tic marks, lay the track down and make a full length rip on sheet goods and be very accurate doing it. Love it..!

Having a double sided track is a very nice feature for quickly lining up cuts and works great. No major problems but with the 102" track you do have to be careful with the first and last 6" as one of the slide tension guides in the base of the the saw will leave the track top rail and there is room for lateral movement from of the saw when that happens. It becomes apparent after some use that the splinter guards end up being cut to reflect the available lateral movement of the saw and blade on each end and will be visibly out of line with the rest of the splinter guard which will stay in a straight edge except on the last 6" of each end. Therefore when transferring measurements and making reference marks for cuts, you have to keep the marks around 6-7" away from each end of an 8' cut so that the not straight part of the splinter guard's straight edge doesn't end up on your mark. I usually start the cut with more track overhang so that both guides are engaged at the beginning of the cut and then the end of the cut continues in a straight line, I hope. On critical full length cuts, diagonal full length cuts and cuts on sheet goods larger than 8' long, it's easy to slide the track forward just a bit to keep the tool fully guided through the cut. It's still worth it to have the long track with 2 sides and is easily lined up with precision to an existing cut to obtain nice cuts in 8' sheets. I have considered getting another 59" track and cutting a foot or so from it to tack weld to the 102" track and to have a short track for smaller cuts. For now that would cause a problem for me to fit it into my vehicle where the 102" fits with only a couple of inches to spare. I might also try to figure out how to install a rail guide on each side of the saw's corresponding track groove in the center between the two existing guides. Since I mostly use mine in the field I'm not going to buy a longer track from another brand but for dedicated shop use I'd definitely want a longer track as I make a lot of full length rip cuts. Also, if I had known with certainty that I couldn't set it on my marks once and have 100% confidence in a straight full length rip cut in one pass I would have possibly chosen another option but having this already I'll probably just live with it and make it work until it starts bothering me more than it does now. The fact that a longer track wouldn't fit into my vehicle would also be frustrating in my case, so for me both options have a different set of limitations and fortunately for me I can work more easily with the slightly short for 8' cuts limitation. I'd much rather have this than having to try to keep two tracks joined with a single connector from getting knocked out of alignment. I hope this review is helpful.

The 102 inch track worked very well when I used it to rip birch plywood for a laundry room shelving project. Produced straight cuts and I had no issue with the length when it came to starting and finishing the cut with the saw. I also used the track saw clamps to provide added stability.

A better solution than joining two smaller ones together. I always ended up getting a little deviation at the joint so I sprung for the longest one Dewalt makes. It is well worth the money - now I get perfect cuts along full sheets of plywood and doors. Also, I was impressed at how this item was packaged...sandwiched between two pieces of wood so it doesn't get bent in transit.
