Inexpensive cutting tools, how are these?

[k_graham]

Here are some inexpensive items I've found links to, what do you think?

http://www.imageedge.com/products.html . Not so sure about the track though, any chance the head would work with a saw track track like eurekazone.com track mentioned below?

Alternative would be something like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAO5C_Y9qKg but would not lock into track like a imageedge .


For panel ripping and crosscutting


http://www.wallboardersbuddy.com/ , happened upon this in youtube as a gyprock tool, do you think it would be good for coroplast, gatorboard, foam board?

http://www.eurekazone.com/product_p/ez-ueg.htm , would have to do this from my home shop to keep dust at bay in the printshop. Seems like a quicker alternative than a track saw and good for 1 person use unlike a tablesaw.

Tracksaws look like a good portable alternative for long cuts that aren't simply cutting up sheets. Could be nice if they included a knife attachment as mentioned above, or what do you think of a Logancutter with the Eurekacut, though it would not lock into the track of a tracksaw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAO5C_Y9qKg

http://www.eurekazone.com/tracksaw_systems_s/1953.htm , or is their justification for a plungecut system like festool.

On my DeWalt track saw I love how once the track is down it stays put when using the saw. I really never use the clamps. I can also use my router with it. The cordless setup that I use was originally like $1,200 bucks I think but I got one on ebay for somewhere around $400 with a track. I am super pleased with it and would replace it same day at any price if something happened to it. One of the best tools I own.
