When I saw that plan I asked myself “would I bother to put the baseplate on my saw?” My question for you – do you find yourself removing the baseplate, or do you just leave it on?
I opted for Emerson clamp guides, and a shop made 10’ edgeguide. Mine doesn’t have a channel to lock the saw in place, but I also don’t need to use a baseplate. I rarely make finish cuts with my circular saw, unless the width exceeds my TS capacity.

Decisions, decisions…

Thanks for the great post!

Well done. I need to try this out myself

Pintodeluxe, I just leave the base plate on that saw. If anyone needs anymore info i.e.measurements, etc. Let me know. Id be happy to share what I have.

Great job. “Take that,” Festool. :-)
