OK, one more thought from a person lacking a table saw (but I'll get one some day when my workshop grows up a little) ... it seems to me that way back when, this started out as a question about cutting large panels out of ply material rather than cutting narrow strips, so ... I make careful, squared-up layout lines on my plywood - always check diagonals - rough cut them to within 1/8" with my old beat-up circular saw and a straight edge guide like what's been discussed - and then use a flush trim spiral bit with a self clamping straight edge (like the Rockler ones) as a guide to get it right on - never had a problem - very accurate ... clamping guide and flush trim bit works well for facing hardwood for panel glue-ups too (I'm jointer deficient as well). I know it's one more step (albeit a quick one) - but it works well for me ... however, if this is actually a thread that's a selling tool for the EZ guide syatem, then just kindly disregard this post!
