Scott,

You already purchased your table saw, but I thought I would just mention 
that I have one of the track systems that Bob spoke of.  On mine, you have 
to attach a special shoe to the bottom of your circ saw, then that shoe 
rides on a raised ridge down the length of the guide.  The saw blade rides 
along a plastic trim piece on the edge of the guide.  You actually use the 
saw to trim the plastic piece the first time you use the system.  From 
then on, wherever you line up that plastic trim edge, is exactly where the 
saw blade will cut.

Mine has two four foot long sections that can be connected together. 
There are clamps that slide into T slots under the tracks and it makes it 
pretty easy to attach to most work pieces.

I will say that I find the extra shoe thickness and the fact that the saw 
is now sitting up on a track is a bit of a problem as you lose nearly 3/4 
of an inch of depth.  I found that the crappy screws and plastic shoe do 
not make for easy or regular removal of the shoe from the saw, so I am 
probably going to get a second circ saw that will be used mainly for 
deeper cuts so that I don't have to try and remove the plastic shoe from 
the other saw.
