nope, just buy a good quality table saw and you make all those cuts better and more precisely plus its only 1/3rd the cost of that thing

if you google "best track saw", you will find many articles that review some really top notch tools, and this device is not on any of them. the reviewed devices are all priced lower than then Kreg, probably because the Kreg also comes with a table.

track saws are very neat for cutting down plywood to build cabinet boxes, primarily because it avoids the need to move the large and heavy material. if you want to rip an 8 foot sheet of plywood on a table saw, you need about 18 feet of room to move the material, and you need infeed and outfeed tables. you also need muscle to move the panel into position and push it through the saw.

track saws sit on top of the stationary sheet, and the saw moves the length of the sheet, so it takes a lot less room and energy. track saws make setup easier too. mark spots on each end of the sheet goods, place the track to the line and clamp. the saw fits on the track, and cuts to the line exactly. no worrying about the sheet wandering away from the fence on a table saw.

i have an off brand on the shelf that i use very seldom, because i don't do much cabinet work with sheet goods. it's not a replacement for a table saw or a chop saw, but it is very handy for what it does, and it takes up much less room than a table saw.

The day I bought a track saw, changed the way I approach projects.

Track saws are far easier and safer for cutting sheet goods and I highly recommend them.

I like Kreg stuff and have several of their Pocket Hole kits but the reviews are mixed on this kit.

The table looks similar to the Festool tables but the reviews on the saw and guide are not great.

I would be more inclined to get a Makita or Dewalt track saw kit.
