Track Saw Guide - Universal for 7-1/4" Circular Saws, 50" Cutting Range, 2" Depth, Aluminum

Good quality product. Easy to,use.

This is a great alternative to purchasing a dedicated track saw. I have tested it with both my corded 7" DeWalt and a cordless 6" to summarize my feedback over the span of over 100 cuts: Pros: + The rails are easy to connect and align before using the provided blade alignment plate to place your circular saw onto the base. + The tracks are straight and sturdy enough. + The tracks are grippy to prevent sliding on the material being cut. + Included clamps are a big bonus but not always necessary to use. + Overall great build quality and attractive price-point. Cons: - Not a fault of the product but in most cases (with most circ saws), you can't expect dust collection as with a dedicated track saw. - Both the saw cradle and track have a few sharp edges, careful when transporting not to scratch or dent your walls/car. - While the guide bushings are advertised as an optional feature, I highly recommend installing them regardless; it will greatly improve cut accuracy when you are maxing out the span of your rails, otherwise the saw cradle can wander off course every so slightly - Connecting more than two rails at a time introduces a bit of flex, use more caution when handling and transporting them. A longer, optional rail would be nice! - Ensuring the saw blade is parallel to the cradle can be somewhat finicky. I was aiming for maximum precision and it took a little bit of back and forth, possibly due to user error.

El artículo está hecho de buena calidad y resistente. Viene en dos partes la guía. En caso de que se requiera, solo ensamblas las dos partes para crear una guía relativamente larga. Los cortes salen muy derechos, lo cual me tiene muy satisfecho con la compra. Hay otras guías similares pero con materiales de plástico y eso fue lo que no le gustó de las otras. Esta es hecha con aluminio las guías y la plantilla para la Sierra Circular. Cuenta también con dos prendas para sujetar las guías a una mesa de trabajo. En resumen, vale la pena cada peso que vale el artículo. 100% recomendado. 😉👍

je l'ai acheter suite a une video youtube et effectivement belle qualitée Attention pas compatible avec les petites scies circulaires rioby et toute autre marques avec des formes exotiques.

Update to post: Have had the Miles craft guide for a few months now and recently decided to swap it onto a more powerful saw, namely Metabo HPT 36v 7 1/4 (most recent model with torque boost). I was initially concerned about the zero clearance strip and whether I would need to buy another. Had zero issues swapping over to my Metabo-cuts were square after getting the saw settled in the guide. Just like with my Kobalt it glides smooth on the track, definitely recommend using a 36v/40v with the guide. The additional power output is certainly noticeable and makes long rip cuts a breeze for me. I did pick up one of their track squares since my initial buy and it has been invaluable. Makes getting everything squared up a breeze. Also highly recommend the Milescraft Track Guide Rail Mount by HuntingBuilds on Etsy - they're nice wall mounts for the tracks that make storing the tracks/clamps/square easy. Plus it's only $17/2 std mounts. I keep my clamps plus square in the track guides and have no issues storing the track using the mount. It keeps the track out of the way especially useful if you have limited room. +Added a couple pictures ---------------------------------------------------------------- I was looking at my options for either a guide system or cheapish track saw, I am more a DIYer using this for remodeling projects at my house. If I wanted a decent track saw I was looking at 3-400 + batteries/accessories, but since I already had a spare Kobalt XTR 7 1/4 saw w a couple 8Ah batteries that I could dedicate to a guide setup, I opted for a guide system and landed on the Milescraft based on my research (seemed to be the most accurate and reliable). I paid 100 for the kit, after receiving the item I found everything packaged well, each item was protected to ensure no shipping damage. Item quality is phenomenal for the price, track is solid and has held square, saw base plate also well built, nice metal construction, clamps work well and hold tight to the material. With everything unboxed, setup was simple, just follow the directions to get setup for your clearance cut. Clearance cut went fine, no issues, so I decided to make some test cuts to get a good feel for the system. Made several cuts on relatively thin material, cut was nice and smooth, no deflection or tearout on my wood. Saw glides effortlessly on the track throughout the cut, have had no issues plunging into material either. The only con (and it really isn't even a big issue at least for me), dust collection is not great - hooked up to my extractor and I will still leave a lot of saw dust on the tracks. I expected this but just wanted to throw it out there so folks know. Aside from that no cons from my POV, for 100 I have a pretty darn accurate track capable saw. I plan to mount it permanently with some epoxy to reduce the chance of it loosening and reduce the risk of introducing more play. I will be snagging one of their squares for the track though, even with that added expense still much cheaper than buying a dedicated track saw. If you are a DIYer and need something to make straight cuts or breakdown material, 💯 recommend this system. Great build quality, easy to set-up and use, and simply put it does what it's supposed to do.
