Simple. Works well. Worth it to me for accurate safe cuts. Used with a handheld router and a compression bit. I cut 1/2 inch thick acrylic for marine hatch boards accurately. Boards were too big for my tablesaw with its sliding auxillary table.

Works great cutting a 3/4 sheet of plywood was in an ajward position couldnt cut it straight with a battery skill saw ..whit the aluminum gide clamped .did 3 vertical cuts perfect would definetly get this again

This was so inexpensive, I bought it as a throwaway if it didn’t work. I was blown away by the speed of set up and the accuracy. It turned my circular saw into a track saw. That is a big statement, but my cuts are very accurate and I have used this many times since the purchase. I highly recommend this as a very price effective alternative to the expensive track saws. I really wanted an excuse to buy a track saw. Now that I have this tool, I will not be buying a track saw. That is the bad news, but the good news is I can use the money saved to buy some other tool. I did make a little jig to help with the setup. I cut a piece of wood the width of the edge of my circular saw to the blade. I draw the cut line, lay down the straight edge, place the jig on the line, move the straight edge against the jig into place and clamp it. I do the same with the other end and ready to cut. I thought about making the jig for several weeks and finally took the two minutes to measure and make it. It made things so much easier and faster. Also improved accuracy because it is now dead on.

Nice quality straight edge. When using the full length I found it needed to be secure at the half way point to avoid flexing away from the line. Simple fix. I would buy this again if needed.
