It quickly became one of my favorite tools since it lets you completely break down a full sheet of plywood (or similar) without resorting to a table saw. The edge clamp lets you measure your cut on the sheet of wood, tighten it down, then just run a circular saw along the side of it and get a perfect, straight cut. It takes a bit of fiddling to get the measurements just right, but it has enabled me to make very precise cuts that I can&#8217;t do with my portable table saw. It&#8217;s also saved me a ton of wasted material vs. hand-cutting and inevitably veering to one side or the other.<\/p>\n<p>This tool is for weekend warriors, not professionals who would have a large high-quality table saw or even a panel saw. I don&#8217;t have space or money for these dedicated tools, so this lets me get a professional result without making mistakes or injuring myself trying to push a 4&#8242; sheet through a cheap table saw.<\/p>\n<div class='ctx-module-container ctx_default_placement ctx-clearfix'><\/div><span class=\"ctx-article-root\"><!-- --><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Self-clamping straight edge to guide your power tools for truly straight cuts<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false},"categories":[1450],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25682"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25682"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25682\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":25684,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25682\/revisions\/25684"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25682"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25682"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25682"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
