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."

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."

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."

Worked great. Set-up was easy

"Worked great. Set-up was easy and so was installation on my Dewalt saw."
