Great idea! Ilike it! Please provide more details.

That is a great idea, thanks. I’d been using a long straightedge for these cuts for years, until one time I noticed that it bowed in the middle from sideways pressure of the saw. I’d been putting a clamped board against it to prevent that, but I like your idea much better.

Thanks guys. Hey Rex, hi there! Since a couple of you asked for details, I’ll start the blog thing a little later today (it’s only 8 here) and post a bunch of pictures and show/tell you how I did it. Thanks for the good vibes. ;o)

P.S. It works great. and cost about 5$ instead of $1000 for the Festool one. Not knocking Festool, but I’d rather spend that 1K on something else.

Good thinking and well done.

Hey I have one of them. Great idea.

I’m also interested in the details. I have a hard time keeping the saw cutting straight. I bought a straight-edge at Lowes for sawing but the saw still drifts in my wittle hands!

That is a great idea. Takes the basic idea of a saw guide and reinforces it with the rails. Nice job.
