As long as you are making one to cut across a piece of ply, you should try a 4' guide. It beats reclamping that 4" guide all the way across!!! :D
And drilling the holes for the c-clamps is time consuming, too. Thanks for the tip.:D

The guided saw system is the way to handle huge sheets of ply. However I'm divided over Festool or Ezguide. Now to make matters worst both Dewalt and Makita and I'm tool Metabo have come out with similar products.

I know I want one I just can't decide which one I want. I guess until then I will continue to use my self made system which leaves a lot to be desired especially storage and size areas.
