to cut long boards, would you use TS or MS?

[Rick Markham]

How about - neither?

Perfect task for the TS55EQ track saw or the EZ.

That's exactly what I bought mine for! Accurate sheet goods break down is just the icing on the cake. I got tired of wrestling around long stock on the table saw, none of the sliders had the capacity I have needed in the past, and I have no room for the RAS.

I'll change my vote to option 3, circular saw with a guide.

Can you get the same quality of cut (splinter free, etc) as you would get with a table saw or sliding miter saw?

I am very impressed by the cut quality of my Festool circular saw.

For this kind of job I use my circular saw with a Freud 40T blade. I apply masking tape centered on the cut line on both sides of the board. That virtually eliminates chipping.

I use a SCMS for most all of my cross cutting. I use a sled on the table saw for whats beyond the capacity of the SCMS (I think it's good for about 10 or 12 inches).
