I have never used one, but some variations of it. Personally, I went to a metal place and bought a 20 foot length of aluminun 1 x 2 channel. I got 4 straight edges at 8, 6, 4, and 2 foot lengths. With a clamp on both ends of the channel, you can rip almost table saw straight. robo hippy
I'd be worried about slight waviness in the cut--there's nothing keeping you going straight other than your own skill.
The ability to cut thin strips is interesting though--that's one disadvantage of the usual straightedge approach.
