Style: Jig Saw
Features
- Saw Guide Compatibility: This saw guide turns your circular saw into a precision edge-guided tool; works best with a regular (side-blade) circular saw, corded or cordless, that has a blade guard or base that allows the sled to clamp securely
- Woodworking Tools: Universal sled holds guide rail and edge guide, making the circular saw guide portable; not ideal for saws with plastic upper blade guard because guard might interfere with the sled clamping or alignment
- Versatile Carpenter Tools: Works for left- or right-bladed saws and users; please note, this guide does not work with worm drive saws, as the base or motor housing tends to interfere with the sleds ability to sit flat and clamp properly
- Accessible Workshop Accessories: Large handle on the edge guide maintains contact with the material;, this saw guide is not ideal for saws with bulky or odd shape guards that prevent a flat fit with the sled plate
- Premium Kreg Tools: We offer products that help woodworkers close the gap between idea and outcome

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 feel It 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 occured I'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 do Now 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 it 2 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 use 3 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 that Now 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

For the most part this works really well. It isn't difficult to set up and fit the Bosch table saw perfectly. Below is my summary. Pros: - Easy to set up - Fits the table saws I own (Ryobi and Bosch) - Works well when cutting further away from the edge of the board - Seems like solid design and construction Con's: - The ruler is not accurate. I have to draw the measure line and align the saw to that and then lock it. - Sometimes with cuts closer to the guiding edge, it doesn't work as well and tends to drift. I have tried different ways to hold it and align to the edge and still have this issue (doesn't always happen) Other: - The movement of the slide up and down the guide isn't super easy. It takes a little manipulating to get the saw to move which means it's hard sometimes to get it to always line up consitantly. - There's no really quick connect/disconnect. I guess if you take taking 10 minutes to remove screws to get the saw off then that could be considered a quick connect/disconnect but I find that a hastle. All in all, if you don't have a big table saw and can't rip long pieces straight on your own then this is worth owning. I'm glad I have it but I definitely have to be careful ripping into expensive sheets.

The Kreg KMA2685 Rip-Cut guide is a game-changer for straight, accurate cuts with a side-blade circular saw. Setup is fast and simple, and once clamped, the guide stays rock solid — no wobble or drift. Cuts come out perfectly straight every time, which makes a huge difference on sheet goods or long boards. I’ve used it on plywood, MDF, and solid wood, and it performs flawlessly every time. It’s lightweight, easy to store, and incredibly sturdy. Tip: Double-check your saw’s compatibility before purchasing, but if it fits, this guide will dramatically improve your cutting accuracy and confidence. Highly recommended for DIYers and professionals alike — precision and peace of mind in one simple tool.

My main complaint was that I received the item in a well-constructed "bubble" pack, intact, but a critical item ("filler strip") was missing making it unusable. I note from other reviews of this and other Kreg products that is not unique problem. And in today's modern error free manufacturing that's a big issue. It would have meant that the weekend project I bought it for would be delayed a week. I called tech support -- they took a voice mail but never said they were closed for the day nor what their hours of operation would be. I got a call back on Monday, far too late. I realized that at the best case it would be two to four days to get the part or replacement product. So I went to Lowe's to buy another one, and returned this to Amazon, not the worst thing in the world but also not the experience I was looking for. Using the tool I agree with the common complaints of many reviewers here and on YouTube: the materials are a little flimsy and not the quality you'd like to see. A better grade of plastic, nylon instead perhaps would make the product feel stronger. I did have a bit of a learning curve with it, but that means one piece of not expensive material had to be scrapped as I got the hang of it. All things considered it works well, though design should allow for easier switching of the operation from left to right handed, which is essentially another materials issue. I don't know that you could switch back and forth frequently without the screws or the plastic part held by them eventually loosening. For some very weird reason I found my blade alignment in the jig somehow became 1/4 inch off; that is, it was aligned correctly then a later cut suddenly was that far off the line...I realigned and can't figure out what wnet wrong, but it hasn't happened again so I chalk it up to some error on my part. I bought it because I have a project that eventually requires two foot rips in 4x8 panels and the hassle and cost of doing this on a table saw (which I don't have) made this an ideal solution. I have not yet gotten to the point where I will do that particular operation but it has worked well in the less difficult cuts I had to make. So all in all, it's worth the shortcomings in terms of utility vs cost.

Key words “Saw guide”! This item works as it should and is well worth the money. It’s amusing that so many bad reviews have been left because the item “feels like it’ll break”. This item is made of ABS plastic which is the same material found in the interior and exterior of cars! Its durable hard plastic. Indestructible? No absolutely not. I purchased this to use as a GUIDE and it did exactly what the marketed name implies. Other reviews state that it wasn’t square out of the package. Mine was slightly off but I unscrewed the guide handle and adjusted it prior to use. Other reviews stated that the “ruler guide” was off by an 8th of an inch so I didn’t even bother using it. I used a T-edge that I already knew to be accurate to mark my cutting point prior to adjusting my saw/saw guide. My only complaint is that i wish this guide attached to the saw at both ends because when you attach it to the nose of the saw the guide pulls away from the saw base plate at the opposite end. This doesn’t impact its effectiveness for once the saw is laid down the weight of the saw closes the gap but some people tend to lift their saw at the end of the cut instead of pushing all the way through the cut which could be problematic resulting in chipping especially if you’re cutting a MDF/HDF with a veneer as I was. FYI i used a 40T blade to prevent the veneer from chipping.

Presumably you're considering this guide either because you don't have a table saw or because you sometimes do wood-working "in the field." I fall into the first category--I don't have a proper space for an indoor workshop, so no table saw, and I do most of my work on my patio. (Which is now covered in sawdust!) You're probably hoping this guide can help your circular saw do three things: cut straight, cut reproducibility, and cut accurately. The common alternative is to just use a straight piece of wood as a fence, and guide your circular saw along that. So in this review, I'm going to focus on how it compares to using a fence for each of the three goals. CUTTTING STRAIGHT: When using a circular saw with a fence, I find it very hard not to have the last several inches of the cut deviate from a straight line. That's because the stress of the wood as it's about to separate tends to pull or push and change the cut. For me, it typically makes the last few inches of the cut a bit wider (i.e. further from the fence) than the rest, and sometimes miters the end of the cut a bit. Maybe if you're really good at figuring out how to support and clamp the pieces, you don't have that problem, but no matter how I arrange supports it comes up for me a lot. So is the Kreg guide better in this respect? No--it suffers from the same problem. In fact, it's maybe a bit harder to avoid, because the long ruler part makes it more difficult to locate clamps appropriately. Still, it's just the last few inches, so if you're ripping a four foot long piece, it's not a big deal: you can either cross-cut the last few inches, or block plane it back into alignment if you need the whole length. CUTTING REPRODUCIBLY: Say you want a bunch of pieces ripped to exactly the same width. With a fence, that's a bit tricky, because you have to make sure the fence and the piece are positioned exactly the same way each time. With the Kreg guide, it's effortless; just leave it set in the same position and use it on one piece after the next, and each will be exactly the same width (except maybe for the wonky part at the end of the cut discussed above). So for this purpose, the Kreg wins over a regular fence. CUTTING ACCURATELY: This is where the Kreg really shines! Say you need a piece ripped to exactly 6 7/16" wide--no more and no less. (That might well be the case if you're doing cabinet work or something like that.) With the Kreg, just take a piece of scrap wood and make a cut, measure the width of the result, and set the cursor to match. You can then set the Kreg to any width you want, and that is exactly the width you'll get (again, with a possibly wonky bit at the end of the cut). It's much harder to do that with a traditional fence; you need to think about kerf, and sled width, and the pencil width, if you measured and marked with a pencil, etc.. Note: This guide is described as for rip-cuts, and that's what it's good for (well, long cross-cuts are fine too). It's not going to work well for, say, a cross-cut across a piece of wood that's only 3" wide. But if you've got something a couple of feet or more long that you need to rip to a precise width, it's great.
