I wanna build a fence or track to mount a circular saw for ripping a straight edge on rough sawn lumber. I don't want a cheesy track saw with short pieces of track. What I need will be used on 4/4 to 8/4(maybe thicker) lumber and lengths from 8'-12'. I want to be able to mount a circular saw to a trolley that will ride on the fence. Ease of loading, clamping and sawing boards is what I'm after. Right now I'm just using a hunk of 1/4x3 6061 for a saw guide. I wanted to maybe go with some extruded ali tube, but it's not always the straightest. I would even go as far as using linear rails/trucks for the saw trolley................ I want to be able to toss in a board, clamp and rip................and ideas or know of any designs out there? And no, I'm not buying a straight line rip saw...................they are spendy and I have no place to put it.
