I'm sure others have done this too, but I thought I'd share... I had to make some clean cuts in exterior siding for rot repairs. Thankfully the large flat spot on the f-rails allows room for screw heads to pass underneath the saw. I just drilled some 3/16" holes (slightly larger than the scerw's shank to allow for fine adjustment) and used washer head screws. I don't think this would work with the Festool rails, the saw would hit the screw heads unless you were able to put the holes inside the rib. Attachments:

I found it easier to hit my line dead on by keeping the track off the waste and placing the splinter strip right on the line. Other way around you have to account for the thickness of the blade, and I never get it quite right.
I used the KSS-40 and it was really easy to use in either position, no cords!

I see what you are saying. I didn't think of the waste coming loose as you cut. And a cordless makes everything nicer to work with. The kss40 has been my go to saw a lot lately.
