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!!"

Purchased the rip it for

"Purchased the rip it for a project that required plywood being cut to size and my table saw is very old and not accurate. This tool did the trick and was very easy to use."

Denise W. (5/5)

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."

This is a little hard

"This is a little hard at first to use for all three tools to use but I am getting the hang of it so far ."

S B. (5/5)

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."

Q&A

What if your edge is not straight? Can a guide be used for a straight edge?
If your edge is not straight, you will need to purchase the ACS Track system or the Accu-Cut.
Can you use this while the saw blade is at an angle (say 45 degrees) to make a beveled cut?
Yes, you can make bevel cuts with the Rip-Cut. Once you have the saw attached the sled and the saw set to a 45 angle, you want to make sure the blade will not contact the sled.
Will this work with a Hitachi C7SB2 7 1/4 inch circular saw
Yes, that saw will work with the Rip-Cut.
Will this work on the ridgid 7 and 1/4 circular saw? Model #R8657B
Yes, that will work with the Rip-Cut.
Will this work with a Dewalt circular saw?
Yes, most Dewalt saw will work.
Do your tracks and rip cuts work with the worm drive skil saw?
No, they will not work as there are no places for the swinging arms to clamp down.
Where does this ship from? Who do you use as a shipping company? UPS? USPS? FedEx?
If purchased directly from us it ships from our warehouse in Iowa. We use FedEx as our shipper of choice.
Can I buy a replacement ripcut track part? I have the 2 blue parts but I have lost the aluminum part.
We only have the sled as a replacement part.
Does this rip fence work with Makita cordless circular saw XSH03Z?
Yes, that saw will work great on the sled.
Will this fit on a Milwaukee 2730-20 circular saw?
No, it will not as the bottom lip on the swing blade guard is too wide to fit with the sled.
