Reply to "Track saws"

My knowledge is limited to the saws that I have - my main circular saw is an old(ish) Black and Decker "Quantum" that has a dust port as part of the blade guard (the port is adjustable so you can direct the sawdust discharge when its not hooked up to the shop vac).  I also have a small  (meaning 5" or so blade) ryobi cordless that does not have a discharge port.  I just happened to have the Rockler website open and took a quick look there and it does look like a mixed bag - the Triton saw they sell has a port as do one of the Makita and Dewalt saws -- but other models don't.  Further searching on Lowe's or HD or amazon might reveal some other options.

B & D doesn't have the 'rugged' reputation of Milwaukee or DeWalt but mine has certainly generated its share of sawdust over the years and aside from replacing the carbide tipped blade occasionally, I've never found a reason to want something else...
