One company I have had my eye on for a while is EurakaZone. They make the "EZ" system of guide-rail products. They'll still cost a bit, but the quality is very high. If I were to go all out I'd get their EZ-One bench set-up. It's all one would need to knock down sheet goods quickly and easily; however, it costs $1100.00!!! The Makita that More10 linked in his post looks promising, and not a bad price considering.
I see a lot of guide-rail set-ups but few of them have extensions that allow stops for multiple cross or rip-cuts in large panels (48-inches). There's a few out there, alright, but they're gonna cost you. That's the most important thing for me, right now, as I have to make many cuts the same dimension. It doesn't matter how many times I measure, square, or set up a guide-rail, I can never get two boards to be cut the exact same length. I may only be off by fractions but it's not as precise as a mechanical devise would allow. I suppose this is why we end up paying out for one of those systems mentioned above. Maybe someday.
How's the painting coming along?
