Milwaukee's M18 track saw stands out as a cordless cutting system that feels close to a table saw for sheet goods and long cuts. It has strong runtime, with dozens of cuts on a 6.0Ah high output battery and even 3.0Ah batteries cutting without issue. The saw shares track compatibility with Makita and some third party rails, and the riving knife and single battery setup give it an edge over the Makita version. The main drawbacks are the two piece track seam, which can snag or leave a slight curve, and the need to sort out battery compatibility or adapters.
The deal can stack a military discount with no tax on ShopMyExchange, bringing the purchase to about $332 delivered.
The saw can run many cuts on common M18 batteries, including dozens of cuts on a 6.0Ah HO pack.
The track saw can be used with existing Makita batteries by using a suitable adapter.
Using a track system can replace a guide clamp workflow after switching from a corded guide-clamp setup.
The track comes in two pieces, and the seam can create snag or kink that slightly curves cut pieces.
The track can ship as separate items, which may require managing rail and saw delivery separately.
Track compatibility is limited by rail thickness, so Milwaukee and Makita tracks cannot be combined and some features like anti-tip may not work on compatible third-party brands.
The clearance around the handle may be tight when using a battery adapter, and the setup may need to be returned if it doesn't work.

There are multiple 100"+ one-piece tracks out there, but they're not cheap - $250-300+. Makita has a 118", Milwaukee has a 106" one, but it's all relatively thin aluminum (Milwaukee being the thickest), it'll dent and deform in transit long before an 8ft wood board would. Shrink (damage/loss) can be pretty significant on long/thin items like this.
100"+ isn't exactly easy to transport/move around in use & around the shop, either.
Not really. I've cut through near 2" maple with my Makita without fuss, and I've seen the M18 demonstrated similarly.. but haven't used it to cut any thick hardwood yet. Modern brushless motors are intense.

I believe the WEN, Festool, and Powertec tracks are compatible with M18/Makita tracks saws too, though the anti-tip function might not work.
Dewalt tracks are definitely NOT compatible with the M18 or Makita track saws though.
