Kreg Straight Edge Guide XL-8 Ft

Product Information

These procedures of cutting with the blade generate small residue that cannot be seen by the naked eye but travel in the air. These residues can get inhaled through our nose and mouth and travel to our lungs. The Kreg KMA4700-E Straight Edge Guide XL-8 Ft is a premium cutting tool that can turn most circular saws, jig saws, or trim routers into precision, edge-guided tools. This tool is a handy addition to any woodworker's collection, as it allows for more accurate and precise cuts. In general, I would recommend getting a guide rail that has foam rubber on it. Foam rubber is really good for preventing slipping when you are cutting material. Splinter Shield

You also want a guide rail that has both a splinter shield (which helps to further prevent splintering) and that also has a good coating of lubricant on it. Benefits of Using a Circular Saw with Guide System Another helpful suggestion is to use a straightedge when taking your measurements. This will prevent any inaccurate measurements and will have you ready to begin your cut when you’re done. If you have access to a power saw, it may come with a laser guide to help you get your precise measurements even easier.Versatile: It helps you to rip, crosscut, and angle cut up to 48 degrees in plywood, panels, and MDF materials. One of the most significant benefits of the BORA system is its ability to reduce tear-out. The two rolls of 55-inch Self-Adhesive Non-Chip Strip included in the set help to prevent top edge tear-out and splintering. Attaching the non-chip strip to the bottom of the NGX clamp edge provides a smooth finish and ensures that your cuts are clean and precise. Alright folks, listen up! Before you start any manual sawing business, you’ve gotta make sure that your saw is unplugged. Yeah, you heard me right. Make sure that you unplug it before you get ready to cut. It’s really important and might save your life. Once you’ve done all that successfully, you can turn the saw on. Now, the key here is to keep the blade evenly on the line. That’s the only way you’ll get a nice clean cut. Once the cut is complete, you can turn the saw off. First off, make sure you’ve got a clamped-down straight edge like a ruler or a square to act as a guide. You’ll need the edge to be securely clamped down to your material so it doesn’t move around as your saw glides through.

The BORA 50" NGX Clamp Edge Extension is a powerful straight cut guide for circular saws that can add an additional 50 inches to your existing NGX clamp edge guide. This extension is designed to fit seamlessly into the NGX clamp edge saw guide, making it easy to set up and use.

Finding Your Next Circular Saw Guide: A Buyer’s Guide

Once you’ve adjusted the blade and it’s at the right angle, then you’ll be ready to make your cut. So, keep in mind that it’s always better to take your time and measure twice before you start cutting. You don’t want to spend all your time redoing a cut that could have been avoided if you just took the time and gotten your saw adjusted correctly in the first place. Making a Straight Cut So, how do you know your saw is unplugged correctly? Well, take a look at the power cord and then try to pull it. If the extension cord and plug are still connected to the saw, then it’s still plugged in.

Measurement Scale: The scale shows both inches and centimeters measurement. You can customize it to operate up to 24 inches or 62cm. The emergence of a straight edge came into presence because no matter the straight cut you claim to make in your DIY projects, without a straight edge guide making straight cuts with a circular saw is not possible. They either have to have a great perception of how to measure a straight line on wood while you make straight cuts, or they have godly accuracy. The first thing you need to do is to adjust your saw for the type of compound cut you’re looking to make. The most common types of compound cuts are miter, bevel, and compound miter. To set your saw for each of these, you’ll need to adjust the settings on the side of the saw. For a miter cut, you’ll need to set the saw at an angle, while for a bevel cut, you’ll need to choose a depth setting. For a compound miter cut, you’ll need to adjust both settings. Now while we’re on the subject of safety, let’s make sure that your circular saw blade is fully secured in its place. You don’t want any embarrassing mishaps in the middle of your cut. Also, be sure your circular saw is adjusted to an appropriate level – what’s the use in having a super powerful saw that is set to minimum output?Secondly, don’t forget your safety gear. Protective glasses, hearing protection, and gloves should be among the items in your project arsenal. If you’re thinking about not wearing them, think again. No one wants their project to have a tragedy that could’ve been prevented. Now, while this seems simple enough, there’s actually a specific way that you should adjust the fence of the saw to get the best possible cut. To do this, you’ll want to make sure that the blade is around halfway between the surface of the item you’re cutting and the saw’s fence. This ensures that the blade is perfectly balanced, which will mean fewer mistakes and smoother, more flawless cuts. I know a lot of us out there are used to our work surfaces being scratched; it’s an unavoidable consequence of using a circular saw. However, a guide rail can help keep your work surface unblemished. Guide rails will keep brand new work surfaces looking pristine since the base of the saw will not scratch on the work surface.
