If you’re sick of having the guys at Home Depot cutting all your plywood because you don’t own a table saw, this jig will be perfect for you.The setup is very simple and intuitive and can be broken down after every use to fit in the toolbox. Fast and clean cuts. Definitely recommend running a few test pieces to get the hang of if. Overall it’s another great Kreg jig.

I don't have room for a table saw, no matter how much I want one, so this was my hope for a lot of the building I have to do in the coming months. I've only gotten to use it on a couple cuts, but it really was pretty easy once I got it all set up. The initial setup can take a little time, and I ended up looking to a video to get a better idea of what to do than the included instructions, but it's not all that hard. My 6-1/2" Dewalt fits on it great. It's pretty solid. It's certainly not an ultimate replacement for a table saw, especially in sturdiness, but it's compact size definitely help make up for that.

This product has been very helpful and fits many circular saws as long as they are on a sled. It’s important to make sure you tighten down the screws appropriately to your sled so that the apparatus does not move relative to your saws. If you do not do this correctly, your saw will move as you apply pressure which at best will lead to an inaccurate cut, at worst it is very dangerous and you could cut yourself. Please take all the proper precautions, and consider working with someone for extra safety.

At the price point, this thing is a lot easier to setup and get great results with for ripping down sheets of plywood versus getting my table saw out and trying to do it solo. Highly recommend and as long as you dont torque everything overly, I think it will be plenty durable.

Nice tool, great to make straight cuts with

Adequate for general cut requirements. Very easy to assemble and connect to, but definite issues. Allows for left and right motored circs. It is better suited for more contemporary saws (7 1/4, etc.). Very dependent on plastic...not the strongest choice. It is better than a simple straight edge, but not a great deal better. Does NOT replace the accuracy and precision of a table saw. Anyone who sells this as a table saw replacement is doing the buyer a disservice. That is, uinless it is being compared to a weak, basic capable job site saw. There accommodation for tilt capabiility, to make straight line angled cuts, but does not provide for angled mitred cuts--also a capability on even to the most cheapest table saws out there. The critical anchor points for securing the saw to the base (the essential element of the setup--there are only two) are steel, but rooted in the plastic base...design flaw...seriously limits the available pressure that can be placed on the anchors when securing the saw to the base. This means that any resistance encountered during the cut, whether by knots, sap filled wood grain, or even an unintentional uneven pressure on the saw sled, can cause the base to move from its front mount. This means an ever so slight offset results which gives an offline result. So, is it worth the money? Depends on what you are using it for. For serious woodworking, where real precision counts, no, it's not worth it. For more general applications, it is better than nothing, and would probably, probably be welcomed...that's about it.
