There has been a lot of buzz about Track Saws with both DeWalt, and Makita finally coming out with versions for the USA. But I bet many people don't know that you can turn just about any circular saw into a track saw for a fraction of the cost of a complete track saw package. After all, why should you have to buy another circular saw if you already own one, especially if it's a saw you really like?
I am talking about the EZ Smart Guide System from EurekaZone. It is one of the coolest systems I have seen in a while. You really need to check out their website, and their YouTube page to see what the system is capable of. I have been watching the videos all day, and each one shows a different cutting situation the system can handle. The basic system consists of a base that you attach to your own circular saw, or you can buy a saw with attached base from EurekaZone, and an aluminum guide rail (Track). Add a few more accessories to the system, and you have a full table saw replacement.
Added this to my wishlist. :)

The track based circular saw scene should be interesting now that Dewalt and Makita are getting in the game. I think we'll be seeing a lot more of them once Joe six pack can pick them up at the big box.
Surprised no one has compared this to the Festool yet

If they want to send me some samples, I would be happy to do a comparison. 
One thing I like about this system (beside the fact that I can use a saw I already own), and the DeWalt, is the fact that the track works on both sides. No need to spin the track around.

Just ask which one is better, on some of the other forums, like sawmill creek, woodnet, or jlc.

Great System!! For me It has replaced 3 unisaws, A panel saw and an overarm pen router. It is much easier to use than a traditional table saw and also much safer. It requires a lot less effort to process wood with this system.

Do the math before you buy the EZ smart guide. I was looking into one but when you add in a the price of a good saw to go with it you are in the $400 range. At the point to me it was not worth it. Sure you could use a saw you already have but I don't want to be re-adjusting my saw all the time.
