Track Saw

Raj, I have two Festool track saws I got used, at estate sales.  I have several 55" tracks.  You can buy any of several guide rail squares to attach to them and make it easy to cut things square, but I found them to be expensive (I am frugal, that is cheap) and so I made one for myself.  Used a scrap of 3/4 plywood about 12" by 20"  and mounted it to the rail with small flat head bolts (toilet bolts) into the slots.  Counter bored the nuts and washers into the bottom of the plywood to keep them out of the way.  Also cut a slot in the plywood to allow for a clamp.

The problem with mine is there is no positive alignment.  It's a little loose or sloppy and does not automatically align itself to square.   I squared it up very carefully and tightened the bolts.  I have enough pieces of rail that I just leave it on there and it has remained square for several years in spite of my not being real careful with it.  Actually it would  not be hard to add a bar on the plywood that would make it easy to remove and reinstall square.

Beyond that, you can just lay the rail across the work and use a (big) square and then cut it.  Might be good to lay a scrap on the far side to support the rail.  On something important I don't trust the grip strips on the tracks and I clamp them down.

You can, just support the track with stuff of the same thickness you are cutting to prevent see-sawing.
A more expensive altternative is to cut the track to the length you need.

This is as close as I've ever come to a track saw.........
