KREG® Accu-Cut™

Product Information

We offer several different types of cutting guides, and each one functions a bit differently. However, the end result is the same: straight, clean, accurate cuts. See how to get great cutting results with a circular saw. Making straight cuts can be difficult when cutting down plywood and other large material. Our Straight Edge Guide offers and intuitive and approachable way to break down sheet goods. The Straight Edge Guide comes standard with a 48" cutting capacity, with a 24" extension available. The Straight Edge Guide XL is also available with a 96" capacity. These guides work with both left- and right-hand saws, as well as jigsaws and trim routers. The Accu-Cut™ solves these problems. The Accu-Cut™ is 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.

I have two methods for guiding my cuts. I have an 8' shooter board made from 1/4" plywood with a 3/8" aluminum bar screwed onto it. Run the saw along the bar and it cuts the plywood to the exact offset of the saw blade. Now you can align that edge with your mark and you know exactly where the cut will be made. If the edge of the plywood gets messed up, or if you are about to start a new project, just move the aluminum bar over 1/4" and re-cut the board. The Kreg Portable Crosscut offers and easy and fast solution for making accurate cuts with a circular saw. Retractable cutline indicator arms help to align your saw to your pencil mark, and show exactly where the blade will cut. This guide cuts workpieces up to 8" wide at both 90 ° and 45 ° . Works with left- and right-hand saws. The next key component of the system is the saw sled. It’s a little surprising how light it is. Aside from the clamps and fasteners, it’s all plastic. For this review, I mounted my Ridgid 18V Gen 5X brushless circular saw and found that the sled fits like a glove! The clamps that hold the sled to the saw are metal, but watch out for over tightening. Just snugging up the set screws is sufficient to hold the sled in place. Circular saws don’t have effective guides that keep them moving straight along a cut line. Plus, it can be difficult to see the blade’s cutting path. Together, these things make it challenging to keep a saw on your desired cut. Circular saws also often cause splintering of face veneers. The Accu-Cut™ solves these problems. The Accu-Cut™ is 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. If you're not familiar with guided cutting, it's a term we use at Kreg to describe cutting in a way that makes it easy to cut straight, to cut accurately, and to cut with confidence. Our circular saw cutting guides are portable, precise, and simple to use.

The Rip-Cut simplifies breaking down sheet goods as it rides along the edge of the sheet to ensure straight, accurate, and repeatable cuts. There's no need to measure and mark layout lines thanks to the edge-guided design. This guide allows you to rip continuous lengths of plywood up to 24" wide. The Universal Sled accepts left- and right-hand saws and is also compatible with the Kreg Accu-Cut and Accu-Cut XL. Yaw. This is "directional instability" in nautical jargon. If you are using an edge guide, it can grab and release and cause the saw to sort of jiggly-yaw around and gives a rough edge.

I've cut plywood and laminates and slatwall, etc. without a table saw for decades. I've made cabinetry and retail store fixtures and on an on. I have found that there are multiple ways that the cut can get messed up: Total Tools reserve the right to change or withdraw free delivery at any time. Estimated Delivery Timeframes
