"I was unable to get the measuring guides to work properly because they were too tight of movement and I was afraid I would overtighten the locking mechanism. I removed them and simply measured the distance from my cut line to the edge of the guide. Worked great. The straight edge itself is sturdy and very well designed and built. It's very easy to set up and use."
"Simple genius. While I love the track saw options and approach this is a simple, easy to use alternative for those of us with investments in existing tools. Works great, easy to put together and simple set up with great flexibility. Kreg is my go to for tools and accessories that simply help make the work easier, more consistent and high quality."
"Woodworking and cooking vie for my time away from my mentally exhausting day job. The Straight Edge Guide XL is going to force woodworking into 1st place over my culinary pursuits! 🤩"
"Better than expected!"
"This product does not work for 8 ft. It does work for 4 ft or less, although it's difficult to adjust properly, but at 8 ft, it's too flimsy and wobbly to keep the adjustment. I wasted some plywood. Also, the plastic parts and the spring won't last long and make it a low quality tool."
"Works exactly as I had hoped it would. Easy setup and very accurate."
"It is 99% perfect, which is NOT Kreg's fault. Hindsight, I think I should have two of the smaller Straight Edge Guides. 1) built with the long(est) track for large sheet goods AND 2) built with the smallest track for the smaller custom cuts. Storing the long guide needs to be thought out in your work space. Just a suggestion. None of which is Kreg's fault. I am going to build the sewing table (Kreg Project) for my daughter this coming month. I will be employing all the Kreg tools I have accumulated so far."
"I like that it’s compact when not in use and easy to set up for use."
"haven't tried it yet. but it looks great,"
"Way over-packaged requiring a new box knife blade and still it was difficult. Trying to score around the tool failed and I ended up cutting the plastic parts with the box knife. The last straight edge cutting guide I purchased came in a plastic bag inserted in a shipping tube (where it is still stored today)."
