Recently (maybe couple of months ago) some woodworking magazine had a comprehensive review of all the 'cutting guides' in the market, from the pricey Festool to cheaper $30 ones (eg : http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?page=16448) . Does anybody remember which magazine/issue it was? I am very sure I have that particular issue, but with all the mags I have accumulated, I am unable to dig it out !
I am hoping to buy something relatively cheap but somewhat reliable to rip 8' plywood. I currently use a home-made plywood edge, but am tempted by the self-clamping ability of most of these clamps in the market, instead of having to fiddle with clamps at each end.
I am hoping to see which of these guides allow for cutting a range of length from 24" to 48" to 96" with minimal deflection in the middle. I am not sure the rockler piece above allows for more than 50" (ie, by combining two such).
