Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] accu-rip saw guide or something similar?
The Accu-Rip Guide Tool Review from This Old House reads as follows:
"Making straight, accurate cuts on 4x8 sheets of plywood or long rips in
boards is less of a challenge with the Accu-Rip saw guide from Craftsman
($40). Just secure its 27-inch-long aluminum arm to the base of a
right-bladed circular saw, "zeroing" the arm with the saw blade. Then slide
the "cut guide" along the graduated arm to the desired cut width and tighten
it in place. This guide runs against the edge of the board, ensuring
straight cuts as wide as 24 inches and as narrow as 1/16 inch; no other
ripping guide cuts as close. As with any saw guide, the last inch or so has
to be cut freehand; and when making wide cuts, a hand is needed on the cut
guide to move it and the saw together."
An easy home-made guide would simply be the straight edge of a piece of
plywood that you clamp into position at both ends. You would need to line up
the blade of the circular saw with your intended cut line, then lay the
straight edge in position against the edge of the base of the circular saw
then clamp the straight edge in position.
