Ed, RE: "since mine is so old I don't know where to get accessories". It looks like your clamp could very well be one of the E. Emerson clamps. Their customer support is top notch from my experience.
I've got a set of the A-Series clamps that I use with my Milwaukee circular saw to break down sheet goods. My Milwaukee is easy as the distance from the edge to the blade on the wide side of the sole is exactly 5".

I'm convince they are the same. At one time I was told mine were Caio clamps and I see that clearly on your picture of the Emerson clamps.
I'm convinced. Thanks

They are indeed the same company if you go to the http://www.eemersontool.com/ home page and look at the top of the page to the right of the E Emerson logo you will see CAIO.

Rockler is selling the 99" one for $49 in the stores and Amazon is selling most of the accessories for close to 50% off.

I have to do preliminary breakdown with an circular saw. I do not have room to get a 4X8 sheet on the SS and have clearance to do the cut. I have difficulty handling the sheet and so I can't control the quality anyway. I have a shop built guide for my saw and the amount of stuff I do it works OK. I don't like to re- cut, but I don't have a safe option.
