Some sort of rack and pinion setup with a measuring scale might be useful. Otherwise it would take longer to dial the right offset in than it would take to do a dozen cuts with a track saw. You'd still have a giant bar sticking out of your saw waiting to get bent or scratch stuff.
The point of this thing is to sell it to hopeful/stupid people who just need more practice. A beginner who thinks they just can't get a consistent cut, might grab this thinking it it is the cure to all their problems.
I have one, use it all the time, I like it, I use it for things I would’ve needed a table saw for (mostly ripping osb), it’s not quite as precise, but a lot lighter, cheaper, doesn’t take up a ton of space in the trailer, is safer to use, faster for what I’m using it for, and requires less moving around the sheets, making it more efficient.
As an Industrial designer . I would have made the base plate adjustable by allowing the user to adjust the required length to suit their circular saw. Some one didn’t do their target marketing properly. As NO one would purchase a silly contraption to make their saw impractical to use.
Trust me, no product on the planet Earth will keep me straight.
table saw and a power feeder for $$$
Pretty sure that was meant as a pun@CowsGoM3ow
@@itsnot1673 I understood the innuendo. But "make" is better than "keep" if that was his intended delivery.
😂 yup. I just saw an ad for this the other day and thought 🤦♂️

i was wondering about that product .i also couldn't find a reason for it . i do like have a longer saw guide but yeah a track saw does it all better .
Its the perfect gift for that someone who loves roller skating/blading and sawing
I get the point - but the saw comes with a metal sidewinder already? So the only difference is the rollers?

Yeah I was a bit sceptical when I saw it the first time...
Skateplate are good for old weathered OSB or plywood that are splintering
Just found your channel and Subscribed. Interesting. Very nice video
Welcome aboard!

What a joke. Looks like the only thing it’s good for is reducing the cutting depth of your saw.
What a load of bollocks.
As useful as a chocolate tea pot
Isn't the point of it to make rip cuts? Like a table saw? Which you can do without it but the saw tend to drift, hence the rollers.
🤣
