KREG® Accu-Cut™

Product Information

The Accu-Cut™ is easy and intuitive for a novice to use, but robust enough for professionals. Because it eliminates the need to keep the saw straight and manually guide the saw along a cut line, the Accu-Cut™ is ideal for less-experienced users. The Accu-Cut™ solves these problems. The Accu-Cut™ is portable, too, so you can take your saw to the workpiece and cut with precision, rather than having to handle heavy sheets on a table saw.

It’s a little surprising how light it is. Aside from the clamps and fasteners, it’s all plastic. For this review, I mounted my Ridgid 18V Gen 5X brushless circular saw and found that the sled fits like a glove! The clamps that hold the sled to the saw are metal, but watch out for over tightening. Just snugging up the set screws is sufficient to hold the sled in place.

The Kreg Portable Crosscut offers and easy and fast solution for making accurate cuts with a circular saw. Retractable cutline indicator arms help to align your saw to your pencil mark, and show exactly where the blade will cut. This guide cuts workpieces up to 8" wide at both 90 ° and 45 ° . Works with left- and right-hand saws. Poor measurements. Be more careful. My saws have a blade that is offset 5", exactly, from any fence that the saw is guiding from. With the Kreg system, it’s much easier than my level method, plus I get a clean smooth cut. The pads on the bottom do a great job holding it in place when I make a cut. I have two methods for guiding my cuts. I have an 8' shooter board made from 1/4" plywood with a 3/8" aluminum bar screwed onto it. Run the saw along the bar and it cuts the plywood to the exact offset of the saw blade. Now you can align that edge with your mark and you know exactly where the cut will be made. If the edge of the plywood gets messed up, or if you are about to start a new project, just move the aluminum bar over 1/4" and re-cut the board.I've cut plywood and laminates and slatwall, etc. without a table saw for decades. I've made cabinetry and retail store fixtures and on an on. I have found that there are multiple ways that the cut can get messed up: Total Tools reserve the right to change or withdraw free delivery at any time.

Making a cut, then turning one part over and placing the cut edges together will tell you how square you really are. Placing the saw on top of some sort of guide like this can exaggerate out-of-square errors. Wobble. The saw itself must all be tight and stiff. Surprisingly few expensive saws even meet this requirement. It's the first thing I do when looking for a new saw. Wiggle the shoe and see how stiff it is. But another form of wobble comes from what the shoe is resting on. If it slides directly on the board, that's good. If it rests on top of some sort of guide, there is the possibility of wobble.
