homemade track saw adaptor plate

[gar2191]

anyone ever build a wooden adaptor plate for their circular saw that would fit in a homemade
track for cutting plywood..??I would like the plate to have a female track and the long track to have a male rail.. any links??

No. I just built a basic guide with a piece of jointed hardwood mounted onto some masonite. The edge of the masonite was lined up with my cut line.

But if you Google [DIY track saw] and/or [circular saw sled] without the brackets you'll get a lot of ideas.

Real track saws are spendy but if you need a chip-free edge they're worth it.

No, I just bought a track saw... for the reason guy48065 mentioned and more.

Real track saws are designed to plunge cut. Circular saws, not so much, though you could probably adapt one to that function.
