    Kreg's KMA2675 Rip Cut Circular Saw Guide does a great job with breaking down plywood and performing repetitive rips at the same width.

    I just mounted my Milwaukee M18 Fuel circulation. saw to the sled. I had to make a slight modification to my saw base because the R.H. hold down screw interfered with a rib on the top R.H. side of the saw base. I simply filed a 30 degree bevel on the rib until the hold down assembly swung freely. Without doing this the saw wouldn't sit flush against the slide base. Now it works perfectly. Excellent review and video.

    I picked up this at Lowes and didn't realise it had been opened. Not sure if unopened "boxes" are supposed to have instructions, but mine surely didn't and the Kreg RUclips channel certainly didn't help. You, my friend, gave such comprehensive instructions that I was able to set this thing up in minutes. I can't wait to do my first cut with it tomorrow (and thanks to your advice, I'll start by cutting a piece of scrap wood to ensure the tool is accurate. Thank you so much for this video!

    This is so helpful. I watched this before I got the Rip-Cut. Then, when I got it, I started practicing on a rough 4x8 to see how things were. I noticed I was about 1/8" off and wondered the best way to fix that, so I watched your video again. The answer was right at 1:08 with the stop-block. That's the key. I had it set up on the wrong side for my Ryobi lefty. Duh. Gonna change the stop-block to the other side. I got the left-sided saw because that's what a right-handed person needs to be able to easily see the cutting line. It's not necessary with the Kreg, but for that sense of security, a pencil line is always good to let you know you're on the money.

    Used this Kreg jig a couple years ago to turn 10 sheets of 3/4" plywood into custom shelving for a 12' x 15' closet we built onto the back of a customers home. That alone made this jig worth every penny spent. I don't like using table saws, just not practical to haul around with you. With the Kreg Circular saw guide, you don't need one. Lets you rip virtually any size you want off of a 4' x 8' sheet of whatever material.

  •  4 года назад +3

    Thank you for the honest and objective review. My shop/garage it too small to break down a 4 x 8 sheet and I hate searching for someone at home depot or lowes who can do it for me. So at first glance I said to myself I want one. There are just too many compromises to an otherwise great tool. I'd gladly pay more for aluminum or steel version. Until Kreg comes up with one I'll just keep clamping my homemade straightedge to the full sheets in the driveway. On the bright side you just gained a new subscriber.

    @tonyalways7174 3 года назад

    I bought one a couple of years ago. I agree with your suggestions. It takes quite a lot of faffing around to fix your saw to it and it’s often quicker just to use a straight edge and a couple of clamps which is what I do most of the time. My own view is that it’s pretty good but I’m not sure it’s worth the money.

  • @frameriteairdrie578
    @frameriteairdrie578 5 лет назад +7

    I had one from Mastercraft (Canadian Tire) that is all aluminium and much easier to set up, but the rip fence is extremely small and only about 4 inches long. It does ok, but on wider cuts it's more prone to movement and because the fence is so short, it runs off the end of the board before the saw does, so the last 3 inches of your cut is free-handing.
    I just bought this Kregg. The plastic seem flimsy and it's more awkward to set up. But once done, it makes very good cuts and the huge fence keeps saw stable and "under guide" right to the very end.

    If the holes do get worn out in the plastic from being switched a trick I've learned is use a toothpick and some gel super glue and use the toothpick to smear the gel around the threads and it kinda fills em back in. Gives em a bit more life but the captive nut would have been 100% better.
