Scaffold boards make a brilliant workbench...

As far as I know (check the Peter Millard videos ) the Aldi one and I think the evolution one fit to the Festool / Makita track There is nothing problematic about joining the 1.4M rails I have been doing that for a couple of years and providing you align the back edge with a good straight edge when you join them there is no problem or at least not one that I can measure on 2M+ cuts. Some people say the Bosch / Mafil rail joining system is the best but I don't find a problem with the Festool joining.
I've still got the circular saw attachment for my 1970s orange & grey two speed black and decker drill. It's on its fourth blade in 40 years...actually a bit of the plastic handle broke off, but glued back on OK. It does all I need to this day... Not that I have ever been a skilled wood mangler.
I've been quite happy just clamping a 5' section of 1" aluminum square tube to sheet goods and running the saw along that. With the right blade, it is as clean as a table saw. Like a poor man's track saw, simple, cheap, and versatile, but a few more seconds to set for each cut.
That's quality for hand tools and a scaffold board! 10/10Yes, and very versatile. I made an outboard bracket with a single 4m board, a couple of summers back. Using a hand-saw.

I can't blame its imperfections on the type of saw.
No, it was quite elementary. (not white-hot).Did they give it a glowing review?
When choosing a circular saw, power was an essential factor. And the higher the value of the power parameter, the better the quality of the saw will do its work. It is essential when forming specific tasks. Materials with dense textures need to be processed with equipment with maximum power. The weight of the tool depends on the different power levels. This is worth taking into account. Working with a heavy machine is incredibly difficult. I found a cordless circular saw on trimthatweed.com, and I liked that it was relatively light for its power. That's why I took it for my housework.
