I can see the tracksaw being useful for breaking 4x8 plywood panels down to door size, but did you end up using a table saw for shorter cuts?

- throwaway892238 4y agoMaybe it's because I work on so many slapped-together projects, but I barely use my table saw anymore. Instead I use my cordless circular and a reference, usually my speed square. If I don't need too much precision I just hold the short piece and square in one hand, lean it against the corner of my deck, and cut. Other times i'll grab some squeeze clamps and scrap wood, make a quick fence/jig on a table, and cut against that. It's just so much faster than setting up the table saw outside (I don't have a woodworking bench). If I have to make a bunch of cuts in succession I might use the table saw, or again I might use the circular. I've been too lazy to build a crosscut sled; if I had one I'd use the table more often.
