Kreg Straight Edge Guide XL-8 Ft

Product Information

Clamp a perfectly straight board or metal straightedge to a sheet of plywood to make cabinet-quality straight cuts. The key is to align the straightedge at exactly the right distance from the cutting line (Photo 2) and keep the saw shoe tight to the straightedge as you cut. Photo 1 shows how to make a test cut and measure the distance from the edge of the shoe to the edge of the blade. Measure carefully and record the dimension for reference. Then offset the straightedge from the cutting line by this distance (Photo 2). The primary purpose of a straight edge guide is to ensure that the cuts you make with your circular saw are straight and precise. A good guide will have a solid clamping system that keeps it securely in place while you are sawing, as well as a variety of markings and measurements to help you accurately line up your cuts. It is also important to consider the size and shape of the guide, as this will affect the size and shape of the cuts you can make. There are a variety of different materials that straight edge guides can be made of, including plastic, aluminum, and steel. All have their own advantages and disadvantages, so it is important to choose the material that will best suit your needs.
