I felt this was a nice touch and indicative of a well thought out tool.Īlso, there is a recommendation of using a minimum of 40 tooth saw blade and to increase the depth adjustment on your saw blade to be sure the blade protrudes at least an 1/8th of an inch through the plywood. Should you have a flat saw base, a flat head screwdriver is needed to wedge the strip out and a simple flip creates a flush base. It is packaged with an angle to support saws with an angled front saw base as the DeWalt in the photos had. Prior to attaching the sled, a filler strip can be adjusted to suit your saw. The edge guide stayed flush against the plywood while cutting and felt solid and secure to the track. It truly became a matter of preference and application. I actually tried this assembled both ways, and I could use the Rip-Cut either direction. The edge guide can be easily flipped to allow for left or right-hand use. Two screws set easily while two other plastic spacers insert into the unused slots for maximum stability. One other thing I felt could use improvement is that the track felt like it should be weighted on the free edge to counterbalance the jig, as it would improve stability when making smaller cuts. Obviously if they had made the track a full 48 inches it would satisfy more needs, but for the bulk of consumers 24 inches is likely sufficient. With a standard plywood sheet being 4 feet by 8 feet, it quite literally allows you to cut it in half. The Rip-Cut’s track cuts up to 24 inches. The instructions were incredibly simple to follow, and the photos were well thought out for easy set up. Once opened you find only a few simple items: The Kreg Rip Cut, model number KMA2685, comes neatly packaged with pictures on the back showcasing the features of the Rip Cut. So, lets investigate and take a look at the Kreg Rip Cut Review. Kreg comes in with the Rip-Cut, their solution to the common struggles of cutting down plywood or paneling and doing accurate cuts that are simple to repeat on them as well. Outside of getting a massive panel saw you’re left with a lot of measuring, marking and praying. We all know Kreg for their pocket hole jigs, but what about some of their other innovations? Cutting plywood can be difficult no matter what your experience level is.
