Which other Non-Festool cordless circular saws will fit the festool guiderail

[efandango]

I need to buy a cordless circular saw for offsite cutting down of 8x4 boards. I have TS75, but obviously can't tote that to a suppliers yard; So I am thinking of buying a cheap non-Festool alternative that will hopefully run along my Festool 1400 Track.

Has anyone done a similar thing as this?

How about just a regular circular saw using the guide rail as a fence?

Makita will fit the rails and has a cordless model.

The Metabo looks very interesting.  Looks like it rides on the Festool/Makita guides AND the Bosch/Mafell guides.

Seems like it would be possible (easy even?) to rig up a plate that any corded or cordless saw could ride in or on and use your Festool guides.  Even rig it up for zero clearance tearout protection. 

Possibly a thread on this right here on the FOG, maybe at some other forum.

And now Kreg has a track and a cradle for $80.  But I was just thinking about cobbling something together from scrap.
