A 1,600 W plunge saw with a 1.4 meter (4.6 ft) rail in the box for €200 — the cheapest complete track saw system we have found.
The end of it The best value in this group. A complete, working track saw system for the price of a bare tool elsewhere.
Every figure is a manufacturer specification, read off the listing itself, and the judgments are ours — drawn from how the specification behaves in this class of machine and from what long-term owners consistently report. Where a figure is missing, we say so rather than fill it in.
1,600 W, cut depth up to 75 mm (2.95 in), a 160 mm (6.30 in) carbide blade with 36 teeth, a minimum wall distance of 16 mm (0.63 in), and a closed blade guard feeding the extraction port. The box holds the saw, a 1,400 mm (55.1 in) guide rail, an anti-tip fitting, two screw clamps, a rail connector and a kickback stop. Part number 5901804901-901. Scheppach rates it for solid timber, MDF, laminate, worktops, plastics and coated boards.
A track saw is bought once and lived with for a decade, because the rail system is what you are committing to. Rails are not reliably interchangeable between brands: the rib the saw rides on differs in width and profile, and a saw running on a rail it was not cut for gives you a chipped edge on the good face.
Two consequences. First, compare systems, not saws — the cost of the extra rails, connectors and clamps you will buy over ten years dwarfs the difference between two machines. Second, the splinter strip on a new rail is a consumable that must be trimmed by the saw that will use it, before the first real cut.
Scheppach’s system is the smallest of the ones we cover, and that is the real cost of the price. It matters less than it sounds if you buy one rail and never extend — which is what most people do — and it matters a great deal if you were planning to build out parallel guides and multiple lengths over the years.
At €200 the rail alone would be a reasonable share of the money on a professional system. Getting the saw, 1,400 mm (55.1 in) of track, the clamps and the connector together means this is a working tool the day it arrives, with nothing else to order. That is a rarer thing in this category than it should be.

For a cross-cut across a 1,220 mm (48 in) sheet, yes, with a little to spare at each end for the plunge and the run-off. For a full 2,440 mm (96.1 in) rip you need a second section and the connector, and the connector is in this box while the second rail is not.
It is how close to a vertical surface the saw will cut, and it is the specification that lets you trim a fitted worktop or a floor against a skirting without dismantling anything. Most plunge saws publish it and it is worth comparing.
No — it is an import listing. €407 on amazon.com against €200 in Germany is the shipping, the duty and the importer's margin on a machine that is not distributed locally. American readers should treat it as a curiosity rather than a price.
A listing is not an offer: the reference exists on these stores, availability changes daily.
