Summary & Verdict on the Kreg Rip Cut
This is in my opinion a useful device if you do two things. The first is to take a little time and set it up properly at the start. It should fit most saws. The maximum cutting width is 24" so not suitable for every job.
It can handle 3.2mm (1/8”) up to 610mm (24”) wide. 765 x 290 x 55mm (30 x 11-1/2 x 2").
The majority of buyers thought that this was a very useful tool to own. For me it is a little bit limited in cutting width, but for what it can help you cut, it does a very good job. I also think it is a bit expensive, and don't see the £40 value to be honest. Still that's what it costs and if you plan on cutting a lot of timber, it is still worthwhile getting the wallet out.
