Nice find. That said, this seems like a very odd place to sell them
Not worth the hassle in my opinion... except for rough cuts where you absolutely don't have a table saw available-that's it's niche and even then it is limited by the width of cut it can make accurately.
When I'm doing a project at my house, I would rather do the cuts by hand with my circular saw or clean off my table saw and pull it out of the back of my otherwise crowded garage.
Besides that, the guide is bit of a pain to get on and off the saw and leaving it on the saw causes storage problems for me. I've used mine a couple of times in the few years I've owned it. It mostly takes up space in my garage.

These sale prices are pretty universal and are even available at the Kreg site[kregtool.com], however finding available stock may be challenging, so it's nice to see the Focus Camera option.

Groupon has these from focus as well. Today I got a target email for 10 off my next groupon. I was able to get the screw set for 16 shipped. Code was off10
Does anyone know the difference between the K5 and the K5MS? Is the only difference is that the K5MS includes a clamp or does it include other accessories as well? TIA
I don't work with a lot of full-sized sheet goods, but will be doing more work with them soon.
Thoughts on the Kreg edge guide vs just building one of those relatively simple guides yourself? At $35-40 it seems like worth having, either way, but I've always been on the fence about the Kreg due to iffy reviews (e.g. complaints about cheap plastic parts and overall flimsiness, some slop/looseness, etc). Thanks!
I picked up the K5 on a deal last year and have no complaints at all. Has paid for itself a few times over already in saved time and frustration I'll be doing more woodworking in the future so looking forward to using it even more.

The K5MS includes the Portable base and the automaxx clamp.
The portable base is nice because it lets you use the drill guide like the R3 and bring the jig to the work on larger pieces.
