Kreg Straight Edge Guide XL-8 Ft

The clamping system is brilliant, well thought out,should have brought sooner

I bought the XL version of the Kreg straight edge so I can make cuts up to a full sheet of plywood length. Like all of my Kreg tools, this works really well. Accurate cuts become very easy using a hand held circular saw when a table or other saw is less practical. With 4 straight edge pieces that can be used in shorter form, or all 4 quickly and securely joined for long cuts, a handle and spring managed, marking, attaching/clamping and cutting becomes very easy. Finding a long enough straight edge used to be painful. Now I can quickly connect as many of the 4 pieces as needed, mark each end of the material to cut, put the guide in place and cut. One thing to consider - the straight edge saw guide includes two adjustable guides to allow marking where the cut will be, line the straight edge up then push guides out the way and cut. Easy enough, but for storing as compact as possible, I need to remove the guides and set up each time. I choose not to use the two additional plastic guides. Instead I carefully measured my held held saw - exactly 4 inches from the edge to the blade where I want to cut. Now all I do is measure 4 inches from where I actually want to cut, one mark each end of the material, clamp and cut.

Once I figured it out works great.

梱包に使われている段ボールと付いてくる物は全てとっておく事をお勧めします。4分割されていて組み上げて使う形です。組み上げに使うのは2.5mmの六角レンチでTハンドルみたいなのがあれば楽に組み立てられます。組み上げは5分もかからないです。使う際にブレが気になる方はクイッククランプ等で締め付ければブレたり動く事はありません。大きな板を切断する方にはおススメです。

Excelente herramienta

It makes your cuts straight and true. Takes a few minutes to put it together as it comes in 4 sections. The set screws and the provided Allen wrench are a bit of a miss mach so be careful not to strip them out. It is super light but kind of a pain to disassemble to make smaller so I would recommend just storing it as the full set. The saw blade markers are awesome make it fast to set the correct line, but you have to set them left handed or right handed. They could have made it ambidextrous which would have made this thing basically flawless. It's a fraction of the cost of their tracksaw kit and if you're somewhat handy this will get you 90% there.
