Has anyone made some parallel guides for the DeWalt track saw?

I found a cool set on sawmillcreek that someone made with some extruded aluminum profiles. And other than buying a Festool track and guides, I’m kind of at a loss to work this out.

Have you got a pic or a link for that.

I’ve tried a mates festool in mine and its like its made for it 😉

Are you using the guides on a DeWalt track?

I know the DeWalt saw fits a Festool track. So I COULD buy a long Festool track and parallel guides, but that’s a little pricey for me.

I’m close to pulling the tigger on a design. I’m working with a sales rep from 80/20 to find the perfect extruded aluminum for the rails. The profile used in the link above, is a bit bulky and oversized in my opinion. I was hoping to put a few cam locks but I can’t seem to work it out in my mind.
