Not that particular one...

I have always been very impressed with the Hitachi circular saws though.
Nice solid cast base plates and very smooth running.

I have one of the Hitachi ones and have been pleased with it.
I've tried the Makita one briefly and
that seemed fine also.

One other contender to consider could be Bosch. The have a guide
rail system that is slotted to take their
circular saw (and I think jigsaw as well). This would be
interesting if there is a requirement to do a fair bit of
panel cutting on site. Festool and Mafell offer systems like this
as well.
