good score...
Battery powered would be awesome , as I’m always catching the cord on the material . I’ll design some kind of system in the future to hold it in the air , as well as the vacuum hoseThat's sexy.
But I gotta admit I'm spoiled by my Makita battery powered track saw.

That’s actually a great ideaRick...attach the power cord to the vacuum...that will solve half the problem...:smile:
I once bought a product for my boat that was supposed to get rid of spiders and elephants. It only half worked...haven't seen any elephants yet...:grin:

Totally understand on the battery situation. I'm pretty heavily invested in the DeWalt 20v, but the Makita came with 2 batteries and then another pair for free during the sale when I purchased it.My Triton tracksaw also used Makita track. Wish the made a track about 60-64 inches long for cutting across a 4 ft. sheet. The 54 inch track forces me to add a joint and another piece. A single piece of track would be a little easier to manage. A cordless sounds good until you think about buying yet another set of batteries that don't fit anything else. I often wind up placing 2-3 2x4s across sawhorses, laying a sheet of 1/4 ply on that, and then foam on top of that. Saves the back. Someday, probably before Rick insulates, I'll put up a swiveling hook above this work area and hang the cord and vac hose from it, maybe with a light duty spring to keep the hose/cord elevated. I really like being able to slide the sheet goods directly off the back of the truck, onto that table. Don't need any help doing it.
I cut my sheets right on the truck, Tom! No clean up and better dust control! Accurate marks, a 4' level as a guide and a setup check with a large square (sometimes) does it for me...I really like being able to slide the sheet goods directly off the back of the truck, onto that table.

I did that for awhile, using my DeWalt 18v circ saw with a good blade. But my truck bed is too tall for comfort. Much easier to haul it down into the garage, out of the sun, and make really accurate cuts without killing my back, or having to use a ladder--I don't do ladders much anymore.I cut my sheets right on the truck, Tom!
