Ratings & Reviews for Kreg Rip-Cut Cutting Jig - Make Precise Rip Cuts and Crosscuts up to 24 Inches Wide

Does not cut straight

I tried to use to cut some baseboards out of MDF. Locked my saw in tight (only the front) you can not lock the back in, and went slowly and carefully keeping the guide on the edge. I ended up with a minor snaking line that was not straight. The plastic is flimsy it has give. Glad it was only $40 I wasted. Trying the new Straight Edge Guide system to see if that will work.

Saves on plywood.

Very precise. Does what it claims to. With plywood costin as much as it does, this is a necessity. Sets up fairly easy. Would like the measurement marks to be darker.

Bad design with bad quality causes safety issues

Cheap plastic clamp broke after two uses. Difficult to clamp your material and use this tool. Device that attaches saw to the tool is just a terrible design with delicate screws and inadequate security. If somebody gets hurt with this I can imagine a lawsuit that’s how bad this is. You are better off using a straight edge as a guide/rip fence. Do not buy

It does the job,but.

This product does have some problems. The philips screws that hold the device to the saw are very delicate. Obviously, you need to tighten down these screws because they hold the divice to the saw and the first time I used the device I stripped the philipshead. You need to buy some screws with bigger heads. Alsothere is no way to line up where the blade on your saw is with the curser. There should be a mark on device that you line uo your saw blade. There is a stop you set on the device we...

As advertised

Works just as advertised. It is a little bit difficult to get it setup with a larger circular saw, but not too bad since that's a 1-time deal.

does not attach securely to saw and is made of plastic

Cutting assitance

Does a reasonably good job assisting in making a straight cut. Only shortcoming is the plastic locking mechanism on the measuring slider. I t tend to come off and move out of place when adjusting. I broke it slightly trying to get it to lock down. Figured out you have to push it in and down to get back in place before attempting to lock. But overall satisfied with the performance.

Plastic Lock Breaks Easily

There is a plastic lock to lock in the saw to the rail. Its stiff to use and it broke on my first lock. I just knew it was going to break, i tried to wiggle it around see if it needed a better seat but nope...broke on first latch. Why design the one part that will have the most clamping pressure to be pure plastic is super dumb.

perfect for plywood ripping

very easy to use and much better than a table saw when you should rip a plywood sheet! Perfect with my Dewalt DCS573

Great for ripping 4x8 sheets

Loved it! Used for cutting 8 feet by 12 inch wide boards from 3/4 inch mdf sheets. 3/4"x4'x8' mdf was too bulky to use with my table saw. Had a little difficulty getting an accurate measurement with the first cut, but ended up measuring from the blade instead of using the given measuring guide. Once it was set, all boards came out perfectly.

Good got many but not all applications

Works well, but you will need at least one straight edge to start with.

Works Great- Speeds up Ripping

Rip-Cut makes ripping 4'x8' much easier. I'd been using a shooting board but have to move/reset it for multiple cuts. With Kreg's Rip-Cut I just make the next rip. A time saver and rips are probably more consistent.
