Review: Why didn't I buy this sooner? Massive time saver and very useful - Excellent product. This was way easier than using a table saw, gave me repeatable and accurate cuts. This is absolutely the way to go to rip down large sheets of plywood. The one thing I am struggling with is how to properly support the cut and the stock at the same time, I bought saw horses but I didn't think about how to actually cut the wood without hitting the saw horse. I ended up just going slow and supporting it with a stool but think I'll buy some insulation board to cut on in the future. I purchased this to help me create a french cleat wall and I needed to rip 48 4" strips out of 4'x8' plywood. I initially intended to use a table saw before I realized how heavy and tedious that would be. This Kreg rip cut made it significantly easier and faster. The worst part about this was the set-up instructions as the parts, pictures, and write-up did not match the parts in the box. All of my screws were the same size and 2 different colors and it was difficult to figure out which ones were supposed to go where. Overall this is great value for the money, well built, and extremely effective. I wish I had bought it sooner and am glad I went with a reputable brand like Kreg so I know it will last and will remain accurate in future use.
Review: Precision cuts made easy — a must-have for any woodworker - Especially Beginners - The Kreg KMA2685 Rip-Cut guide is a game-changer for straight, accurate cuts with a side-blade circular saw. Setup is fast and simple, and once clamped, the guide stays rock solid — no wobble or drift. Cuts come out perfectly straight every time, which makes a huge difference on sheet goods or long boards. I’ve used it on plywood, MDF, and solid wood, and it performs flawlessly every time. It’s lightweight, easy to store, and incredibly sturdy. Tip: Double-check your saw’s compatibility before purchasing, but if it fits, this guide will dramatically improve your cutting accuracy and confidence. Highly recommended for DIYers and professionals alike — precision and peace of mind in one simple tool.

## Features

- Saw Guide Compatibility: This saw guide turns your circular saw into a precision edge-guided tool; works best with a regular (side-blade) circular saw, corded or cordless, that has a blade guard or base that allows the sled to clamp securely
- Woodworking Tools: Universal sled holds guide rail and edge guide, making the circular saw guide portable; not ideal for saws with plastic upper blade guard because guard might interfere with the sled clamping or alignment
- Versatile Carpenter Tools: Works for left- or right-bladed saws and users; please note, this guide does not work with worm drive saws, as the base or motor housing tends to interfere with the sled’s ability to sit flat and clamp properly
- Accessible Workshop Accessories: Large handle on the edge guide maintains contact with the material;, this saw guide is not ideal for saws with bulky or odd shape guards that prevent a flat fit with the sled plate
- Premium Kreg Tools: We offer products that help woodworkers close the gap between idea and outcome

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will the kreg KMA2685 guide fit for a dewalt circular saw**
A: Hello,
There are a lot of circular saws out there. The things to look for when trying to determine if your saw will be compatible with the Rip-Cut is to make sure that it is not a worm drive saw, because they are not compatible. Make sure that the top front of the saw base has at least 1/2 inch of space or more across the width of the shoe or base so that the sled of the Rip-Cut can attach to the saw base. Make sure that the front of the base does not angle or curve upward any more than 1/2 inch. The last thing is to make sure that the width of saw base is wide enough so that both lock downs on the sled can make contact with the saw base. (5-1/2"  in width or more)

**Q: Does this only work on full-size saws or will it work with compact saws like https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/b072vltg4s ?**
A: I've been able to secure it to my rockler saw that's similar, but honestly I would not recommend it.  Those screw holes rotate just enough to secure my plate, but the heft of the whole thing doesn't feel as secure and relatively kinda floppy, so i have it more permanently hooked up to my dewalt 7 1/2 inch saw.   

So all in all, kinda, but i would recommend a standard circular saw.

**Q: Will this guide work with a makita 3 3/8 sho2r1 circular saw ?**
A: Hello,
I took a look at your particular model of saw and I am sorry, but do not think that your saw will be compatible with the Rip-Cut. It appears that the saw  base is to narrow to latch onto the sled properly. 
Thanks!

**Q: Will this work with an old 7.25" porter cable frame saw model 743?  i just want to make sure.  i love my old saw, i'll keep it forever.**
A: I haven't seen it tried on that particular saw before, but based on the pictures of it I believe it will work.  If you have any troubles with it, I encourage you to call Kreg tech support at 800-447-8638.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for Big Rip Cuts — But Packaging & Build Quality Lower the Score
*by D***O on November 25, 2025*

I used this Kreg cutting system to break down large plywood sheets while building shelves for my built-in closet, and it definitely helped make the project more manageable. I’ve attached photos showing the plywood I ripped — from oversized sheets to narrow precision cuts. For large boards, this tool is a huge help, and I was even able to make cuts as narrow as 1 inch. However, several issues keep this tool from earning a higher rating. First, the product arrived in basic plastic packaging with no protective covering, and the jigsaw guide piece inside was already bent and scratched before I even started. For a tool meant to support precision work, this was disappointing and cost it a star on its own. Next, the latch mechanism used to set measurements doesn’t always stay locked. Adjusting the ruler takes more effort than it should, and at times I had to hold things manually to keep my measurements steady. The entire system is made of plastic, which raises durability concerns. Even tightening screws by hand caused bending — without using a drill. That doesn’t inspire confidence for long-term, repeated use. Sliding the jigsaw along the guide also takes finesse. The head attachment can shift or loosen during cuts, which slows the process and affects consistency. The instructions were okay, but I strongly recommend watching a video tutorial first. The spacing between the saw head attachment and the actual blade isn’t perfectly accurate, so doing several test cuts is essential before starting real projects. Despite these issues, this system does handle large rip cuts well, and with patience, you can achieve more precise cuts too. Overall, while this tool is very helpful for DIYers, especially for breaking down large panels, the packaging damage, plastic construction, and latch issues prevent it from being a top-tier product. Still, it’s a useful addition to a DIY toolkit — just expect some quirks.
