Always.

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.


Lots of things aren't "necessary" but we still use them.
Especially when we're talking about having one chance to make a perfect
cut on an expensive door.
