I’m an occasional “woodworker” with some Ryobi cordless tools, a Hitachi Miter saw and a cheap Porter Cable portable table saw to get me by.

I have a Kreg Accu-Cut to use with my Ryobi 18 volt saw, but I’ve been eyeing the Makita Track Saws lately.

I’ll be building a bunch of shop cabinets, and some cabinets for some closets in the house soon. The Kreg doesn’t rip length-wise, so I typically just free-hand the size a bit wide, then take it back to the table saw to get my final dimension.

It takes a little longer, requires more setup, and also demands nice days (I don’t have the space to set the table saw inside).

Plus, material costs are sky-high right now: so waste, as minimal as it is, hurts a little more.

I was considering investing in the Accu-Cut XL to rip plywood, but reviews are atrocious. Would investing in the Makita cordless track saw improve my “product” at all?

(I have made my own sled to make a saw guide before: but it warped between uses... I’d rather a more durable option)
