Hi there.

I tend to avoid a lot of woodwork as I only own a jigsaw (and so most of my prior projects have ended up with wonky cuts).

I would like to change that and decided to buy a circular saw and then make a wooden guide on circular saw vs track saw(there are loads of videos/instructions on how to do this), so I would make perfectly straight cuts.

However, I have since also come across something called a Track Saw, which has the guide already built in.

They are considerably more in price.

1. How much better would a track saw be?

2. Is it worth the additional costs, given that I am only an amateur user?

Thanks.
