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 saw a DIY video online of how to make a basic cabinet. She used this tool with such ease, I had to buy it. Movin the sizing is a little bumpy but it holds its place well. Keeps you from having to measure over and over again.

Working on a wood project at home. This tool worked great to make sure the cut was even and straight. Study and easy to use.

I thought I already wrote a review on this. Anyway, I did a very small mod to the shoe plate and screwed it to my circ saw. Now it works awesome. Just like running a piece through a table saw. Most circ saws have a threaded hole in the front area of the plate, like a 10-32 size. Made for their own attachments if you can ever find one. And they won't work as good as this.

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.

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.
