I have worked behind a few carpenters that had that 'hooked thumb' for a guide and was always amazed at how good they did.

Extending a guide out 16 to the side of the circular, IMO, would present a lot of binding problems. As for the guide mentioned, the story above was very successful because the guiding surfaces were long and stable. Prep took some time, but once set-up, the job went fast and the results were perfect. So I mounted a longer piece of 3/4 to the bottom of my circular as a new base so it would provide a steady guide and clamped a straight edge where needed. I needed to finish cut the bottom of a bunch of doors and running them through the table saw wouldn't work. If your work will allow the time, you can't beat set-up. They also have enough practice, experience, and tools to do a great job when needed and a fast good job when not. Patience is what most contractors don't and can't have, time is money, so cut it and move on. I use the guide that comes with my saws for narrow 1-6 strips but when trying to use a similar guide out much further it easier to tilt the saw and get a wavy line so I clamp a guide board/bar to the material I'm ripping. I don't think I have used that particular brand but I have used similar and found it to be more trouble than it was worth. I seen a few alleged pros using a hooked thumb and the results were wavy as hades. I always just use the ones that fit in the shoe slots. However I'm not familiar with the one you posted.
I had a hard and fast rule never buy a circular saw unless I could get a rip guide to fit it. When I was in the business I hardly went a day with out using a circular saw rip guide. straight edge to the stock and use it as a guide for my circular saw. For ripping a sheet of plywood lengthwise, I clamp an 8 ft. not that I'd try to talk someone out of buying more tools I use a small table saw to rip narrow stock. When I have to rip something that is too big or unhandy for my table saw I'll often clamp a 1x to the wood and use it as a fence. BUT, if you see a need for it in your plans, it does appear to be a well made product for the price. I couldn't in good conscience give any thumbs up on it. Even if I need to cut larger pieces of board, I can rough cut them 1/4 long and finish them on the table saw. Is this something that the casual DIY user might find beneficial or a product that leaves a lot to be desired? I move too fast (for an old guy) to be fitting and unfitting my circle saw to a rip guide. While browsing videos on the net for DIY rip guides I saw a video showing the Accu Rip guide (available at HD). The Accu-Cut includes a universal saw sled, which is also compatible with the Kreg Rip-Cut.Accu Rip Circular Saw Guide - Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down? Accu-Cut also makes professionals faster and more productive because it makes a variety of cuts fast and easily in the shop and on the job site. Because it eliminates the need to keep the saw straight and manually guide the saw along a cut line, the Accu-Cut is ideal for less-experienced users. The Accu-Cut is easy and intuitive for a novice to use, but robust enough for professionals. The Accu-Cut solves these problems by providing a circular saw guide, and it's portable, too, so you can take your saw to the workpiece and cut with precision, rather than having to handle heavy sheets on a table saw. Circular saws also often cause splintering of face veneers. Together, these things make it challenging to keep a saw on your desired cut. Plus, it can be difficult to see the blade's cutting path. Plus, the track makes it simple to make straight cuts on sheets that don't have a straight, flat edge.Ĭircular saws don't have effective guides that keep them moving straight along a cut line. They feature an anti-slip coating to prevent slipping and an anti-chip feature to prevent splintered cuts. No clamps are required to hold the Kreg track in place thanks to dual guide strips. The Accu-Cut design makes it simple to set up by just aligning the track with your cut line. The Accu-Cut guides your circular saw along an aircraft-grade aluminum track that keeps the saw moving in a straight line easily. It rips, crosscuts and makes angled cuts up to 48 inch long in plywood, MDF, and other large panels with super easy setup, precision and accuracy, and superb control. Start projects right by making straight, accurate and splinter-free cuts with your circular saw and the Accu-Cut Circular Saw Guide Track System.
