I have this. I just used it with my makita hypoid saw. Takes maybe 2 minutes to mount the sled to the saw. I ripped down 20 4x8x.7" plywood panels in half, lengthwise. Easy one hand cuts. Took me about 2 minutes per panel to set up and rip. Only had one bad cut b/c i tried to go a little too fast and my blade was getting a little dull. I would recommend it if you dont want to invest in a proper track saw

This thing sucks for what it is, there are SO many ways to skin this cat that are either cheaper or better. Hell, in a pinch I will joint a 2X4 and use that if I need to make an 8ft cut and don't have anyone to help guide it on the table saw.

Is this a good price? I see the regular price is just $10 more than this.

I owned this but ended up returning it. Setup was easy enough and it was nice for cutting straight lines without figuring offset. The issue with it is the flex. There is a slight 1/32-1/16 sway each way while cutting. It would make a straight, wobbly edge cut.
I used it with a Hitachi circ saw that's decently heavy, but being made out of plastic allows you much flex.

I've used this to build my first ever wood project this summer. Never use a circular saw before the project. This kreg is beginner friendly, and works well. It doesn't slide if you keep the bottom clean and free of dust. Does straight cuts, no angle cuts. Would recommend.

A home owner here trying to be handy. Was thinking about getting a table saw so I could rip. Safety was/is a concern. A track saw could be a good compromise for me. Thanks OP

It really depends on how much you need to saw and to what precision. I've been very successful with just using a circular saw with taking my time. I did use this product to help and was happy with the results.

Honest question here from an amateur: you have to make your two marks to line this up. But without this gadget, I do that anyway, and simply use my $15 metal straight edge and a pencil to mark a line between the marks. Then I just do the circular saw myself carefully. Is this that big of an improvement?

I was going to say that at $70, maybe it would just make as much sense to spend a bit more and get a full WEN track saw, if the recommended route with this is to leave a saw dedicated to it/on it. Since at least that way you end up with a plunge saw, if you're going to end up with a saw dedicated to it either way (granted, who doesn't have a corded circular saw or two sitting around?)

But apparently WEN no longer sells the combined track and saw that they originally did for so cheap, now you have to buy them separately for what ends up being notably more. Not that the original ones were amazing, they're no festool, but they were still a steal for what you got at the price they were (especially after some basic mods).

Still might be a route worth at least considering versus this (if doing so, pay attention to which compatible tracks for the newer models), if wanting more than just a simple edge guide. I will say that even now that i finally have a table saw, the track saw still gets a lot of use, especially for cross cutting sheet material: whether this or something else, the general concept is a sound investment. I can cut a "fairly" straight line free hand if I go slow, but the track saw is much faster and gets perfectly straight cuts, and ridiculously easy to align precisely. This seems a little weirdly intermediate between just a basic edge guide/clamp and a track saw, but I guess there's no longer any ridiculously cheap options there, so maybe it's worth it if you have a spare saw sitting around and don't need plunge cuts for anything.

Bought this awhile back for $35. The instructions for setup aren't the best. I could never get the sled you clamp on to the saw to ever connect securely to my Dewalt 20V 6 1/2" saw. Even if you do, it only clamps to the front of your saw and not the back, and when traveling on the rail there is some slop. Overall you're better off with a straight edge.
