They find a woodworking process that is rather complicated and design a way to make it easier. So it’s not a surprise when they ended up creating a system to make long cuts straight and accurate. With that said, let’s take a look at the Kreg Accu Cut Review. Kreg Accu Cut Review – Overview

To get high-quality cuts with a circular saw, a guide is essential. A circular saw is a super handy cutting tool for your DIY projects. It's not a complicated tool - once you understand the parts, the controls, and what they do. Some people think it's difficult to get a straight and accurate cut with a circular saw. you can get great results, though, with the help of a cutting guide like the Rip-Cut, Accu-Cut, or Accu-Cut XL. If you're not familiar with guided cutting, it's a term we use at Kreg to describe cutting in a way that makes it easy to cut straight, to cut accurately, and to cut with confidence. Our circular saw cutting guides are portable, precise, and simple to use.

Our Crosscut Station offers a simple and versatile solution to make accurate miter cuts with just a circular saw. It is lighter and more portable than a miter saw, allowing for more time building projects and less time setting up and storing bulky tools. The Crosscut Station makes crosscuts at 90 ° in pieces up to 12" wide. It's also great for making a variety of angle cuts from 0 ° and 90 ° with the adjustable fence. Works with left- and right-hand saws. Saw blade run-out. This doesn't affect the straightness of the cut, but makes those ripply saw marks in your edge. A quality saw in good condition exhibits very little run-out. Saw shoe not square. It's hard to get them truly square because blade is small diameter and doesn't give you much to place your square against. 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. 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. Poor measurements. Be more careful. My saws have a blade that is offset 5", exactly, from any fence that the saw is guiding from.

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.

The Rip-Cut simplifies breaking down sheet goods as it rides along the edge of the sheet to ensure straight, accurate, and repeatable cuts. There's no need to measure and mark layout lines thanks to the edge-guided design. This guide allows you to rip continuous lengths of plywood up to 24" wide. The Universal Sled accepts left- and right-hand saws and is also compatible with the Kreg Accu-Cut and Accu-Cut XL.
