Default Festool, DeWalt, or Makita?

I'm almost tempted to buy just the "track" and use the same saw (Milwaukee

advantages would be worth the money.


I've used one of these for a long time:

I have a dedicated circular saw with a 1/4 ply base plate and the
"traveller" from that page. The "traveller" keeps it from moving away
from the fence.

Handy for breaking down plywood, though not as fancy (or spendy) as the
dedicated track saws. Makes a great straight edge for cutting drywall
too.
