Kreg Rip-Cut™ | KMA2685-INT

Kreg Rip-Cut™ Circular Saw Edge Guide | KMA2685-INT.

The Kreg Rip-Cut™ Circular Saw Edge Guide turns an ordinary circular saw into a precision edge-guided cutting tool for making straight, accurate and repeatable cuts in plywood, MDF and other large sheet materials. Instead of taking a large sheet to a stationary saw, the Rip-Cut™ allows you to take your circular saw to the material, making large sheets easier to break down while working on your own.

The Rip-Cut™ can make rip cuts and crosscuts up to 24" (610mm) wide without requiring you to measure and mark every individual cut or manually keep the saw aligned with a layout line. Its long edge guide follows the straight edge of the sheet, while the built-in measuring scale and precision cursor allow you to set the required cutting width. Once the width is set, you can make a single cut or produce multiple pieces at the same size without repeating the measuring and layout process for every piece.

To use the system, mount a compatible circular saw onto the Universal Saw Sled and slide the sled onto the aluminium guide rail. The Universal Saw Sled accepts most circular saws with either left- or right-positioned blades. After completing the simple one-time calibration, adjust the sled to the required cutting width using the built-in measuring scale and adjustable precision cursor. Then hold the edge guide against the edge of the sheet and guide the saw through the cut.

The oversized edge guide helps provide precise control throughout the cutting process, while its reversible, dual-position design accommodates both left- and right-handed use. Constructed from impact-resistant polymer and aluminium, the Rip-Cut™ combines a practical edge-guided cutting system with the portability of a circular saw for sheet-material cutting applications.

Straight, Repeatable Cuts Without Layout Lines:

The Rip-Cut™ uses the edge of the sheet material as its reference point. Therefore, you do not need to mark a conventional cutting line for every cut or concentrate on manually following a line with the saw. Set the required width using the measuring scale and precision cursor, position the edge guide against the sheet and guide the saw through the material.

Ideal for Breaking Down Large Sheet Materials:

Rather than moving a large sheet to a saw, the Rip-Cut™ allows you to bring the circular saw and guide to the workpiece. This makes it easier to cut down large sheets, particularly when working by yourself. It is designed for rip cuts and crosscuts in plywood, MDF and other sheet goods.

Repeat Multiple Cuts from One Setup:

When several pieces need to be cut to the same width, the Rip-Cut™ can remain at the selected setting. This allows multiple pieces of the same size to be produced without measuring, marking and laying out the cutting width again for each individual piece.

Features & Benefits:

• Up to 24" (610mm) Cutting Capacity: Makes rip cuts and crosscuts up to 24" (610mm) wide in compatible sheet materials.
• Precision Edge-Guided Cutting: Turns a compatible circular saw into an edge-guided cutting system for straight, accurate and repeatable cuts.
• Built-In Measuring Scale: Allows the required cutting width to be set directly on the guide without measuring and marking every individual cut.
• Precision Cursor: Provides a clear reference for setting the required cutting width and can be adjusted during calibration.
• Universal Saw Sled: Accepts most circular saws for versatile compatibility.
• Left- or Right-Blade Saw Compatibility: The Universal Saw Sled accommodates most circular saws with either blade configuration.
• Oversized Edge Guide: Provides controlled guidance against the edge of the sheet throughout the cut.
• Reversible Edge Guide: Dual-position design accommodates left- or right-handed use.
• Repeatable Cutting: Allows multiple pieces to be cut to the same size using a single setup.
• No Layout Lines Required: Eliminates the need to measure, mark and follow a conventional cutting line for each cut.
• Material-to-Saw Convenience: Allows you to take the saw to large sheet materials rather than moving the material to a stationary saw.
• One-Time Calibration: Once the saw is mounted and calibrated, the measuring scale and precision cursor can be used to set subsequent cutting widths.
• Impact-Resistant Polymer Construction: Forms part of the durable guide system construction.
• Aluminium Guide Rail: Provides the rail system used by the Universal Saw Sled during cutting.
• Accu-Cut™ Compatibility: Designed to be compatible with the Kreg Accu-Cut™ system.

How to Use:

1. Mount a compatible circular saw onto the Universal Saw Sled.
2. Slide the Universal Saw Sled onto the aluminium guide rail.
3. Complete the required one-time calibration.
4. Set the required cutting width, up to 24" (610mm), using the built-in measuring scale and precision cursor.
5. Lock the saw sled at the required cutting width.
6. Position the edge guide firmly against the straight edge of the sheet material.
7. Guide the circular saw and sled along the rail while keeping the edge guide against the sheet.
8. For repeated pieces of the same width, retain the existing setting and make the additional cuts without repeating the measuring and layout process.
