KREGKMA2685 Rip-Cut Circular Saw Guide - Track Guide & Guide Rail - Cutting Tool - Saw Guide for Circular Saw

EDIT Its update time on this one yall.To start I stand by my enitial review of the product. After a few uses the slideing action did smooth out as I thought it would. As I allso mentioned the plastic felt like it was to brakable. And this latest episode ads credence as to why I feelIt should be all mettle. The plastic lock snapped while I was sinching it down after an adjustment. I had not at any point in time gottent ruff with the tool. BUT it was sitting out in the blazeing sun for a good while as I was working out doors and had no real shade. So I do wander if the exces heat on the plastic didnt play a part in it. Iv uploaded picures to show whare the failure occuredI'm highly satisfied with this tool. It's a snap to put together its light waight and easy to use. If you can mess up your cuts with this you mayby might want to find something ells to doNow despite my happiness with this product I do have some mild constructive criticism.1 it would be really nice to get and all mettle version of this tool. I just feel like all the plastic parts can be broken. Even at a cost premium I would pay it2 the adjustment on this thing is herky jerky rough not at all as smooth as I feel it could and should be it can allso effect fine mesurements. But Mayby this will level out with more use3 this gose back to the all metle parts thing again. But the plastic clamp that holds the main line in place i wish wer metel as it feels like something that could eventuilly get warn out and iether snap or not make good grip. As well as the saw clamps themselves theyr metle rods anchored to plastic and the way that whole portion of the unit flexes upwhen ypu put tension on the mounting screws. Yea I think you can do somthing about thatNow befor anyone starts throwing rotten food at there monitore I'm actuilly not bagging on this product far from it. So far nothing is brocken and everything is holding together. This is so far a good product. These are all just feed back for the company to take into consideration on any future tool updates

Another wonderful product by Kreg, this make rip cutting quick and accurate every time. Thanks for a great product by Kreg once again another wonderful tool for my tool shed.

Bought this to brake down full sheets of finished ply wood faster then clamping a straight edge each time, worked very well and I would recommend this product, only con is there is alot of plastic parts so if your rough with tools or drop it I dont feel like it would take alot to crack or break it. But way faster for braking down plywood and easier then a table saw with one person

I don't have room for a table saw, no matter how much I want one, so this was my hope for a lot of the building I have to do in the coming months. I've only gotten to use it on a couple cuts, but it really was pretty easy once I got it all set up. The initial setup can take a little time, and I ended up looking to a video to get a better idea of what to do than the included instructions, but it's not all that hard. My 6-1/2" Dewalt fits on it great. It's pretty solid. It's certainly not an ultimate replacement for a table saw, especially in sturdiness, but it's compact size definitely help make up for that.

Works great with my old black and decker pro saw. This along with a 24 tooth diablo blade make short work of ripping 4x8 sheets of polyiso insulation for my little house. The cursor can be a bit fiddly to get dead on, but once it is, its spot on every cut every time.

Such an amazing tool. Attached to my saw in minutes and made perfect cuts. Used this to make garage cabinets and they were perfectly symmetrical.

Adequate for general cut requirements. Very easy to assemble and connect to, but definite issues. Allows for left and right motored circs. It is better suited for more contemporary saws (7 1/4, etc.). Very dependent on plastic...not the strongest choice. It is better than a simple straight edge, but not a great deal better. Does NOT replace the accuracy and precision of a table saw. Anyone who sells this as a table saw replacement is doing the buyer a disservice. That is, uinless it is being compared to a weak, basic capable job site saw. There accommodation for tilt capabiility, to make straight line angled cuts, but does not provide for angled mitred cuts--also a capability on even to the most cheapest table saws out there. The critical anchor points for securing the saw to the base (the essential element of the setup--there are only two) are steel, but rooted in the plastic base...design flaw...seriously limits the available pressure that can be placed on the anchors when securing the saw to the base. This means that any resistance encountered during the cut, whether by knots, sap filled wood grain, or even an unintentional uneven pressure on the saw sled, can cause the base to move from its front mount. This means an ever so slight offset results which gives an offline result. So, is it worth the money? Depends on what you are using it for. For serious woodworking, where real precision counts, no, it's not worth it. For more general applications, it is better than nothing, and would probably, probably be welcomed...that's about it.

At the price point, this thing is a lot easier to setup and get great results with for ripping down sheets of plywood versus getting my table saw out and trying to do it solo. Highly recommend and as long as you dont torque everything overly, I think it will be plenty durable.
