Questions & Answers
I'm not sure, but I don't think so, but they do make a longer version of the saw guide, which I have and it's 98 inches long. However, because it is one solid piece, it may pose a storage issue. If you make a lot of long rip cuts, the money and any storage issues are well worth it.
It can be adjusted to grip an item as short as you want it to be (half an inch). The unsuitable length, on the other hand, makes it awkward to use on a short piece, necessitating the use of a separate supporting structure. The 24" version is ideal for a complete armamentarium, but if you only have room for one, the larger version is the most versatile.
If the side of your saw's plate is parallel to your blade, it'll most likely work. The guide has a thicker edge, and it's another Yost quality product.
If you need accuracy, don't buy it. When pressed against the fence, the soft pads allow it to flex slightly. The E is for sale. If precision and quality are important to you, Emerson is the person to contact.

This is adequate for the task at hand. It has a light feel to it, but I can't say I'm disappointed with the price. Because the item's ruler is essentially useless, I always use a tape measure to ensure that cuts are made when they are required. It's suitable for use at home.
Nice quality, but won't work with my Sears circular sawbr>The saw's motor hits this guide, making it impossible to use with my Sears circular saw. br>For a return, I'll need to find a long, narrow cardboard box. Bottom line: UGHbr> If your saw's motor is running at a low speed, it's time to replace it. You won't be able to use it if it hits the guide. br>Apart from that, I'd have to say - The quality is excellent - However, I find it useless.
This is a lot better than I had hoped for. I'm a complete beginner when it comes to working with wood. Even with 48" stair treads, cutting with a circular saw with the guide is simple and precise. The locking mechanism is straightforward, but it's effective.
This aluminum guide is true in terms of being straight, but it has warped to the point where it no longer lies flat. I've been storing it in my insulated garage since the beginning, hanging it from a small built-in hole, so there haven't been any unusual temperature changes or pressures applied. To keep my saw from straying when it reaches the slight upward bow, I'll have to put a weight in the middle of the unit.
I'm surprised there were so many positive reviews before.
Used for precision cutting layouts, this product is of high quality.
I'm using it as a table saw fence.
But not in a good way. Packing was a disaster. The ruler was applied in an ineffective manner. It appeared to be a disaster. Quality assurance is lacking. Scratched and simply did not present a fresh appearance. Buyers who have been verified as having paid for something should be avoided.
