Spent $400 on a new track saw and it just collects dust now

I bought a Festool track saw last spring thinking it would speed up my sheet good cuts. But I still grab my old circular saw with a straightedge because I know exactly how it handles. The track saw sits in its case for months at a time. Anyone else drop cash on something that just didn't fit your workflow?

Honestly my garage is basically a museum of tools that looked good in theory but now just collect dust. I bought a $500 planer once thinking I'd become a woodworking wizard but it's been three years and it's still got the plastic wrap on. Ngl my circular saw with a speed square is still my MVP for everything.

At least your track saw has a nice home in that case.

Maybe your old saw is like a comfort blanket and the track saw is just too pretty to get dirty.
