I think one of these Kreg saw guides is considered to be very useful, and the other is crap. I forget which one.

I have this one. And it's a piece of garbage. Luckily only spent $35 on it.

They still sell these?

I figured Kreg would've yanked the plug on this thing after the CoviDIY crowd faded out. The only positive reviews I've ever seen on this came from people sponsored by Kreg; and the people who were completely new to using a saw/tools.

Kreg... for when you don't know any better.
Why the derision? What's wrong with people taking up woodworking?

What kind of pathetic gatekeeping is this?

A good track saw is great... but it isn't a requirement. I'd say, to make one. There's all kinds of YouTube vids to show you how.

It gives you some experience, and it also works better than things like this.

If you want to just buy, and start small, there's all k8nds of better, less costly options to Kreg Items. Harbor Freight has a clamping guide that you just run down the track, and use it to guide the saw.

Personally, I'm still waiting for a "good" left blade track saw to come out. I only have my right arm/leg function, so a right blade track saw is sort worthless unless you can use your left arm. But as a former lefty... I LOVED track saws with right blades.

Track saws are much more precise than a circular saw + a jig. Just spend the cash, you won't regret it. Makita makes a great saw (though i don't like that they only offer a 1 year warranty), even the kreg isn't bad, i think that's the cheapest decent one available.

Your only getting onto people for buying or having what they have ? So whats next for you "getting onto people" driving Ford instead of Mercedes or whatever brand of car YOU deem isn't garbage ? Ok, mr. high and mighty, I don't drive a Mercedes, I have some Kreg stuff that has served me well so far. What I don't need is some random dude bent on making me feel bad for buying a tool brand that works for me and has served me well. Here is a clue x 4 for you, there are people out there that have all kinds of things and brands you don't approve of.

This definitely tracks…I know, and I am really sorry, just couldn't help myself. About to ask the question that seems like it vexes pretty much all beginning woodworkers with limited budgets and space:

A good track saw with adequate track is as expensive as - and, depending on brand/model, more expensive than - a compact job site table saw. When I think about having to pull out and set up a track system every time I want to make a cut, I feel lazy in advance and can see myself avoiding using a track saw. I would really love to be able to cut down large sheets, though, as well as rip 2x4s.

One day, I will be able to afford both a track saw and a table saw. In the meantime, If you had $500 (and couldn't find great deals on those old fab cabinet saws on CL/FB), would you go with a track saw or a job site table saw first?

What do you think you'll be able to be more accurate with, manipulating a 60lb sheet of plywood on a table saw or a 10lb saw on a sheet of plywood ? I'm not a pro wood worker, but I don't particularly enjoy ripping full sheets of plywood on a table saw.

If your primary use case is ripping sheets, you're going to love the track saw. If you occasionally rip sheets but need much more usability, go with the table saw. The track saw is a true one trick pony that does that trick very well.
