Guide Rail Saw Base

Pproper tools, quality excellent don't buy anything else!

I swithered for some time whether I needed one of these. I'm glad I took the plunge. It is a very well designed, robust and easy to use piece of equipment. It is easy to set up the saw on the sled and the track on the timber with the clamp system. The sled runs smoothly on the track with no-play. Note for those who have a Dewalt D23650 with 190mm blade, it just fits on the sled and cuts close to the track. Great value for money.

Super happy with this purchase, I really wasn't sure about spending this much money but it was worth it. with the added extension it has made doing some 200mm long cuts a breeze, every cut was spot on.

This is an excellent kit, but does require a careful set up. Has converted my circular saw into a highly accurate tool to use with my mft table. The track is solid and well constructed, as is the saw base. Setting up was relatively straightforward. Only part of the kit I didn't like was the 4 brackets that secure the saw to the base. These were a bit fiddly, and also mean that unless you are leaving your saw in the base permanently, you will need to go through the whole adjustment and set up process every time you put the saw back in the base. I just cut an mdf template to attach to the base plate which enable me to fit the saw back into the same place every time, which was easy to do. I also don't really use the cut line gauges that come with the kit. I found it much easier to attach a splinter strip along the full length of the track, which then allows you to line up the edge of the strip with your cut line directly rather than having to use the gauges every time.Would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to add accuracy to their circular saw cutting, without shelling out for an additional plunge saw!

Have been looking at one of these for years but wondered can I spare the expense, I should have done it ages ago. Great build quality. I like that with the extension it is 2800mm, which makes cutting 8ft sheets a breeze, clamps secure the jig on the board. Also like the fact that you can attach practically any circular saw to the base. Short answer buy one, you will not regret it. Should have done it sooner.
