Not necessary, if you have good circular saw skills.

Exactly why I use the guide rail.

But seriously, I've got an aluminum guide for just that purpose which
doesn't weigh any more than the straight edge a better craftsman would
need to make the pencil line. Two spring clamps and voila, perfect cut.

I've seen doors cut freehand and know better than to ever try it
(again) myself. DAMHIKT, but the others I've seen were much worse.
