Reviews
I recently purchased the Kreg
"I recently purchased the Kreg Rip-Cut™ and it has been a fantastic addition to my shop. It makes breaking down large plywood sheets incredibly easy and accurate. The guide rail holds straight, and once it's locked in, the repeatability of the cuts is spot on. It saves a lot of time compared to setting up a traditional clamp-and-straightedge guide. Highly recommend for anyone looking to get table-saw-like precision with a circular saw"

I do not love this
"I do not love this accessory. I have to say that your products reflect some severely poor engineering. The Rip-Cut is flimsy, due to the cheap materials used on it. It is clumsy and time consuming to attach my saw, Yes. you can get a straight cut, but it isn't worth putting it on the saw and taking it back off when you don't need it. Reattaching it is a chore. So. I just won't use this - any more than I will use the 5 gallon dust filter gizmo I bought from you, which leaked. I threw it away, and I will most likely throw this Rip-Cut thing away, too. You make your products look great in your ads, but this is what ads are for. . Fool me twice! I dare you to post this review. Buyers BEWARE!!"

Great tool, but missing parts.
"Purchased this to rip pvc board for batten strips. upon opening and assembling, I discovered, I was missing two of the part J, small thumb screw wheels, used on the saw brackets. I was able to put together and complete the job, just would be nice to have all the parts when dropping 50 bucks. Otherwise, the rip guide worked flawlessly. Would definitely recommend this product to others. Would be five stars with all the parts."

Great product like all other
"Great product like all other Kreg products I have bought. Easy to setup and easy to use. We liked it so much we bought a second one so when we have more than one project going on we could have them both setup and going at the same time. Highly recommend."
— James W. (5/5)
Not what I expecteed
"Not what I expected. Don't get me wrong, it seems to to a good job but it's all plastic pieces, and it just doesn't feel like what I paid for. Maybe I should of kept looking but thought Kreg was a good brand so I bought this.
It just seems flimsy and I fell like it will break real easy. But, it has worked but I'm very gentle with it."

Wished I had this years
"Wished I had this years ago. What a great dedign and tool"
— David M. (5/5)
I was excited to purchase
"I was excited to purchase this product from Kreg. However, i was surprised how cheaply it looked and was made. The tool is constructed almost entirely of plastic and takes sometime to set up for use. The bolts to hold your skillsaw in place need to be reimagined for easier and more complete use. I see now why I should have invested in a good track saw."
— ALLEN B. (2/5)
Although a great idea I
"Although a great idea I am disappointed with the rip cut tool. The nuts on the locking knob bolts are not caged and can fall out of the back of the tool. Not only the aren't caged but the bolts are so short that it won't take long to lose one or many. Great design and idea but cheap hardware makes for a surprise from Kreg."
— James F. (3/5)
The rip-cut is very helpful
"The rip-cut is very helpful when producing accurate cuts with sheet goods. As a novice maker, it compels me to do more and build more projects."
— Timothy F. (5/5)
Worked great. Set-up was easy
"Worked great. Set-up was easy and so was installation on my Dewalt saw."
— Jerimiah M. (5/5)

Unleash your creativity with the Kreg Rip-Cut™ Circular Saw Guide.
The Kreg Rip-Cut™ is the fastest, easiest way to make straight, accurate, repeatable cuts in sheet goods using the circular saw you already own. Designed for DIYers, woodworkers, and makers of all levels, the Rip-Cut transforms your handheld circular saw into a guided cutting tool that delivers precision with every pass.
Whether you're breaking down full 4x8 sheets of plywood, trimming MDF panels for cabinetry, or batch-cutting shelving for a custom project, the Rip-Cut helps you get it done faster and with more confidence. Simply attach your saw to the universal sled — it fits most left- or right-blade circular saws, jigsaws, and even compact or worm-drive saws — and slide it onto the aluminum guide rail.
From there, it’s all about simplicity and consistency. The Rip-Cut uses an oversized edge guide that rides the edge of your sheet, keeping your saw perfectly aligned from start to finish. No need to draw lines or follow marks. The built-in measuring scale and adjustable lens cursor let you lock in your exact cut width (up to 24") and repeat it again and again.
The saw stays securely clamped to the sled using tool-free GripMaxx™ hold-downs, while lateral wings adjust to keep the saw centered and stable. A reversible guide arm ensures comfortable use whether you're left- or right-handed.
Whether you're building bookcases, remodeling a kitchen, or crafting a new workspace, the Kreg Rip-Cut gives you the control, accuracy, and repeatability to bring your vision to life, one straight cut at a time.
