Well as all early adopters know this can be problematic. I was never happy with the version I had built and was tempted to revert to the previos setup which worked well. When the next version of the EZ-One was released I studied it carefully and decided to upgrade.
So what can an EZ-One do that makes it worth the substantial investment in the equipment? Well because of the unique Bridge settup you are able to clamp a workpiece in place while you cut. Additionally there are several sliding rails which allow you to adjust and clamp parts in place while you work on them. The wood is held stationary while it is being cut and this mean no kickbacks are possible.
So you can rip, cross cut, create dadoes, some miter cuts, as well as gang cutting. Instead of a conventional rip fence the EZ-One uses special stops which can either be used to clamp wood or to limit the travel of the wood. In addition to making conventional cuts like a table saw, the EZ-One can be turned into a variety of other woodworking systems.
With the addition of the raised Top Kit, you can double the size of the work surface to serve as either a cutting area or as a work table. There is also a clamping table top which converts the EZ-One into an assembly station. Additioanlly you can convert the EZ-One into a clamping table with the addition of the clamping table top set. It is a special glue resistant top which has various track extrusions embedded in the surface.
These track can be used with the special clamps to hold juust about any type of project. I have not personally used the clamping table because I don't do much work needing this type of tooling.

The very best product designs enable masses of people to either a do things they couldn't do before, or b do things they did do before, but in a better way.
Ex-carpenter Dino Makropoulos' designs for the EZ Smart Woodworking System, which can be used by both professionals and average consumers alike, satisfies on both counts. The EZ System is rather vast, so for this article we're going to focus on one of its main products, and one that we feel even a casual DIY-er would find extremely useful: The Smart Guide System.
This simple but ingenious tool, in conjunction with a circular saw--any circular saw--puts the power and accuracy of a table saw in your hand, minus the danger. It enables even the clumsy or inexperienced to cut wood with better-than-factory edges, among other things. What used to be tricky, dangerous, or two-man operations become, with the Smart Guide System, something one person can easily accomplish, in less time.
What is the Smart Guide System and how does it work? You attach the base to the bottom of a circular saw of any brand , and your saw then rides cleanly along the extrusion in a perfectly straight line, as determined by the raised guide rail in the extrusion. With this in place it is impossible for you to cut anything except a dead-perfect straight line.
The extrusion has small channels on either side. You slide plastic inserts--the anti-chip feature--into these channels and, when new, the plastic extends slightly beyond where your saw blade ends up. The first time you use the system, you trim these plastic inserts by making a pass with your saw. What this does is give you a WYSIWYG for your cut--no more offset measurements, you can line the edge of that plastic guide exactly onto your cutting line.
And more than once, my bad math led me to cut the wrong place and ruin my last piece of wood, inevitably leading me to call my girlfriend and explain I'd be late for dinner.
There are two larger channels on the underside of the extrusion, and that's where you slide in two custom-designed clamps to hold the wood. There is no fence for the wood to bind against; the clamps press the wood securely against the extrusion.
If you bind the blade, or if the material is improperly supported, the wood can be thrown back at you at very high speed, causing a nasty injury. If the material is not supported, things can go wrong. This system ensures the wood is properly supported so you get a clean, perfect cut, every time. The extrusions come in various lengths, and you can attach them together make cuts of infinite length.
The first time I met Dino I thought he was crazy. For the product demonstration he set the EZ Smart Guide up with a circular saw and large piece of melamine-coated wood as the target piece--but instead of cutting it himself, he stepped away from the table.
I thought he was crazy because he had only known me for five minutes and had no idea if I had any experience at all with tools. My neighbor, an office drone, once asked to borrow my circular saw; I grilled him to be sure he had used one before and knew what the hell he was doing before lending it to him. I don't want to get sued by somebody with no thumbs, and I had assumed Dino would be the same way.
I stepped up, put my right hand on the saw and tried to position myself. But the wood and the Smart Guide were placed on the table in such a way that I couldn't get my body in the desired spot. I should point out here that I'm right-handed--I won't even brush my teeth with my left hand.
Totally crazy , I thought. Nevertheless, with my left hand I pulled the trigger and guided the saw through the wood. It took very little effort; the saw traveled securely on the track, and at no point did I feel like it might come off or was difficult to handle. Dino seemed to know what I had been thinking a moment earlier; after I'd completed the cut he looked at me over his glasses and said "I wouldn't have let you do it if I wasn't sure it was totally safe," he explained.
He removed the guide and saw and showed the edge to me. Sure enough, it was completely straight, the edge completely perpendicular to the surface of the board. Even more surprising, the melamine edge was factory-smooth--even though the circular saw had a tooth blade, the kind you use for rough framing work. I then tested the EZ Smart Guide out on one of my own projects, making a simple cabinet for the studio I run. I made my measurements, marked my wood, and started ripping, cross-cutting and trimming.
I was impressed with the edges I was getting--dead perfect, every time, and with no tear-out--and was even more impressed when I looked at my watch. I never realized how much time gets sucked up by calculating offset measurements, checking the fence and blade for square on my Delta portable table saw, and cleaning up the edges. Since I work alone and in a very limited space--I am a Manhattanite whose "workshop" is the hallway of my studio building--cutting large 4x8 sheets down to size, accurately, is always a problem for me.
I typically rough it out with the circular saw, and once the pieces are a more manageable size for me, clean up the edges as best I can with my imperfect Delta or the circ-saw and some homemade guides. For me to achieve these kinds of cuts on a table saw, I'd need a larger hallway and an assistant. Next I tried duplicating something I'd seen Dino do in the demonstration videos--cutting wood into extremely thin strips.
I'd had to do this before on a table saw, and never did like getting my fingers too close to the blade. With the Smart Guide I was able to do this quickly, easily, and accurately, and my fingers were nowhere near the blade. I even did tapered cuts, which I've found to be a big pain in the neck on a table saw.
Bottom line is, Dino is a carpenter with 25 of years experience; I am not. But using this tool, I was able to do exactly what I'd seen him do--on the first try. To me, that is a big deal.
