Would RecommendI purchased this guide some time back and recently used it to rip a 4 x 8 sheet of T111. I put a board under it to keep from sagging. It worked great. My edge was straight and fit perfectly. For the money (much cheaper than in a catalog I received) it's well worth the price. I'm buying one for my son in law.
was excited until it bent...

Excellence in simplicity
Would RecommendI have used Cutting Guides for 50 years, and have found this design to be the best i have seen. Other units by different makers are too complicated with too many parts to lose.

save your money

not bad for price
Would Recommendi haven't had any problems with this. one side is flat for clamping so the clemps don't get in the way. perfectly straight when i put next to a heavy cast iron machinist's straight edge. haven't used it with both sides connected yet though
