No not for cutting track for ripping sheets of plywood. I am thinking about getting one. I tried the Kreg jig, worked well for the first few pieces I cut then it started getting off. I checked it, it was out of square so I returned it. I am looking at the Menard's Master force 6-1/2" track saw. Anybody use one? It is in my price range plus you can hook a shop vac to it to collect dust. Thanks in advance for all reply's.

I see you are getting many good suggestions. I  bought bcx grade plywood at Home Depot and had them cut it into a manageable length (65"). They cannot guarantee accuracy and told me +- 1/2" is about as good as they can do, also, squareness can be an issue. The track saw lets you trim quickly  accurately without a helper or outfeed tables. Also the track saw is quite useable as a circular saw, even though it has a slightly smaller blade (61/2"). Plus the 4, 27" sections can be use as a universal toolguide, straight edge.
