Kreg ACS-TTOP Adaptive Cutting System Project Table Top

I've been using the adaptive cutting system for about 8 months. I've waited to review the system to ensure I've really been able to put the system through its paces. This is going to be a long review because I want to provide all of my findings. The short review is I love it and I don't really miss my tablesaw. Turning my tablesaw on caused me to experience a lot of anxiety so I decided to take the plunge and sell my tablesaw and buy this. I knew this would always be set up in my shop so the collapsible cart would be a waste for me. More expense and a waste of space below the cart. I bought the table and built a beefy for it to sit on. it houses my shop vac and accessories I use with this system. I'm also able to store my routers and circular saw in it. The dust deputy is housed outside because it would be too tall to fit inside. Dust collection: when hooked up to the system, it does a pretty good job collecting dust but the end of the cut always does it a little extra. I'm wishing in my garage and my wife doesn't want a lot of dust laying everywhere. In the other end of the table is a box fan with a high quality house fan filter to catch the extra dust. Cheap and works great. I don't have a choosing of dust everywhere after using this. I have found this to be extremely accurate in making my cuts. I've been building a lot of shop storage with half inch plywood and this is as accurate as I need it to be. I recently built some drawers using the 1/4, 1/4, 1/4 method. It was time consuming but it worked very well. This is a system that creates 1/4 inch grooves, 1/4 from the bottom of plywood that 1/4 inch plywood bottoms can be inserted into. There are 1/4 dados that run up the front and back of the drawer sides that the drawer front and backs lock into. This system worked quite well to mage those grooves. I did clean up the buttons with my router plane. This works so well that I'm considering selling my compound miter saw. I do need to make a few more miter cuts with this before I decide to do that. I've made a few cuts in oak. I think if you work a lot with 8/4 oak, this would be under-powered for you. It seems to struggle trying to make a full depth cut in 4/4 oak. I find myself sometimes making 2 cuts. I may come back and update this as I finish my shop builds and start working more with hardwoods.

This is exactly what I needed. The set up is not very complicated but I did watch some YouTube videos to take some of the worry about setting it up right away. I did have an issue with the top and ended up calling Kreg customer service and they were awesome. I wish I could remember the lady’s name that I talked to so I could give her a shout out. I’ve played around with it for about 2 weeks now to see what all I can do with it and am very happy with it. It’s a quality product from a quality company. I would not hesitate to buy from them again.

I am very please with this purchase. The Kreg project table has made all types of cuts possible and eliminated the risks when working on the table saw. Make sure you watch all the Kreg videos on YouTube so get everything dialed. I have read some of the bad reviews and I can tell that most if not all are user error related. Take the time and watch the videos and you won’t be disappointed. Thank you Kreg for this great tool.

I've have the Kreg track saw for a couple of years and thought this would make using it, well, more useful. I primarily use it to break down plywood which I would then cut to the finished size on the table saw. I'd lay the plywood on top of a foam insulation panel, on the floor, mark my cuts and lay the track down and saw away. It works, but I'm getting too old to be working on the floor and trying to line up the track to my pencil marks. I'm working on a couple cabinets and used it for the first time tonight. It's actually pretty accurate and square. Using the stops in conjunction with the measuring tape that's included will produce accurate cuts. I only purchased the top mainly because space in my shop is limited and I figured I can use existing surfaces to cut from and store the top on a wall rack for easy access when needed, but with less space used. I gave it 4 stars primarily for the horrible instruction book. It takes you through the assembly process with short descriptions and a corresponding illustration. It's hard to see detail in a lot of the illustrations. Do yourself a favor and watch the Kreg video on assembly and the one with tips. Much clearer than the manual. No regrets though, will make working with plywood much easier for me.

The table makes projects sooo much easier. Assembly is easy and it folds up for space saving storage. Working with the Project Table makes cutting easy and extremely accurate. I look forward in using it and what my next project will be!! Love this table, wished I had it a long time ago.

very disappointed for both design and quality. first, there is no installation manual included, i go to their youtube channel and followed the installation. 1. the item i received is different with their official youtube, the side holding fixture for the track is much wider, their youtube is exactly fit the fixture, that make the following issues and not accurate. 2. after install the first fixture and the other side is hardly put in correct position. 3. the track design just has one small screw and will move after half day working. 4. the worst thing is one side of the fixture of the track moved and because the #1 issue which has gap and will move and cut line moved. i have very high expectation but this one has flaw design, it's different with their official web site picture, also the holding is not study if you cut heavy board.

Excelente!!

Good quality for what it is intended to do.

Great product for beginner to pro woodworker

When it comes to similar tables with dog holes, it seems there are really only two games in town, which are Kreg ACS and the more expensive Festool MFT (or a few more-expensive, more-niche players). Given that the market is so small, and given that so many of the track saws are able to inter-operate on each other's tracks, I would have appreciated Kreg's offering more if they engineered it with compatibility with other brands in mind. Instead, it seems like they have done the opposite. They are trying to corner you in to their brand by offering a "system" which is riddled with incompatibilities that will make it difficult to mix and match brands, and therefore force you to purchase the Kreg saw, track and table all at once. One thing is the length of the track and table. At 63", it's an uncommon length and hard to find of a different brand that spans the table without sticking out too far. A 55" (1400mm) track is more standard but falls just short of spanning between the two hinges on the Kreg table. So it almost forces you to use the Kreg 63" track, which has its own set of incompatibilities due to its 100mm distance between the raised ridge and rubber edge of the track, compared with the 120mm distance most track saws are built around. Another issue is the dog hole size. 20mm dog holes are pretty well standard, whereas Kreg insists on sticking with the imperial 3/4" dog holes, cutting you off from a range of accessories that are designed around the more popular MFT tables. I have a Bosch track saw and it took quite a while to find the right combination of hardware to make it work with the Kreg table. The Bosch tracks don't work on the Kreg hinge system. The Bosch saw doesn't work on the Kreg track due to the 100mm issue. Fortunately, a Makita 75" track will work with the ACS table and the Bosch saw, hallelujah! Kreg should try a bit harder to make their offering usable to owners of other brands of saws and tracks, or dog-hole accessories.
