Anyone have any thoughts on kits to adapt a circular saw to a track saw? I spent $700+ on plywood today and would rather not eff it up. I am not confidient ripping it down on the table saw. Track saw's I think are out of my budget.

Like a saw guide? https://www.homedepot.ca/product/bora-ngx-50-inch-clamp-edge-saw-guide/1001552465?rrec=true
Never used one myself though

I have that exact one. Have had it over a year but haven't actually used it. I can't cut straight for the life of me. So I don't trust myself to be able to hold the saw to the one edge.
So I am looking for solutions where I can't screw up. Bora sells an attachment for that. But it doesn't review well. Also I'll need to do length wise rips as well.
Brought a used Anykit boroscope, fantastically cool thing... until I break the internal cable that makes the tip change directions while showing it to someone. What a facepalm... guess I'm going to find out how good their support is. Le sigh.

Not quite the same as a track saw, but I've used this with decent results in the past ripping on 4x8 sheets of plywood.
Though now I think I'd just use a piece of HSS and some clamps for speed and ease.
I have the Kreg Accu-cut one. https://www.kmstools.com/kreg-accu-cut-48-quot-circular-saw-track-system.html
It was a bit fiddly to get my OLD Ryobi circular saw mounted, but works great. I'd suggest getting the associated track clamps as well if you have a lot of cuts to make.

I think I may shell out for the Ridgid track saw. Not available in Canada yet, but I've got an extension that should hopefully notify me when there is stock.
I have a cheap B&D circular saw I bought maybe 5 years ago. Every time I've tried to use it I was horrible crooked. I thought it was user error. Today I was cutting 3/4 sheet for the shed with it and it is ALL over the place. So I go buy a Diablo framing blade. Holy hell what a difference. Cuts like butter.
Yup, a good blade makes a world of difference. I bought some 40 tooth blades and now my circular saw cuts almost as nice as the 80 tooth blade on my table saw. https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0B2QBS1Z4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1
Well shit, a Ridgid tool I don't have?.... guess I'm buying one of these too.
I have used a long level clamped down to the piece of wood I wanted to cut but it's a pain if you have to do a lot of cuts of different sizes
