Every time I used my previous homemade track guide in past videos someone would ask me what it was and if I had a video showing how I made it. A quick search shows a bunch of other creators that have made track guides but I guess it won’t hurt to have another!
Using a few scraps of plywood or hardboard, and your circular saw, you can build yourself a DIY Track that turns your circular saw into a fully functioning Track Saw. Don’t need any expensive tools, just a circular saw, and when you’re done you can use that circ saw to rip and crosscut large pieces for you shop!
This is an easy way to help you break down large sheets of plywood so you don’t have to wreak your back trying to move them into and around your shop. Break them down outside and then be able to work with smaller pieces in your shop.
Want to make something similar check out the video at the top of the article! Have a great weekend folks!!

I’ve built one out of hardboard and it has some flex in it, but it still gets the job done.
Tyler,
I have the same Ridgid cordless circular saw that you used in your video. I noticed you have dust collection for it. Can you tell me where and how you did that? I love your videos. I have bought some of your project plans in the past. I especially liked your small portable paint booth plans. I built it and use it all the time.
Thanks, Jim
James, it was a custom hack job! Lucky for you, the new octane circular saw that RIDGID is releasing soon has a dust port option!
very good easy to follow
