Introducing the all-new Kreg Square-Cut™

[KregRep]

Square-Cut™

Available Starting March 1st, at Kreg Dealers Nation Wide

MSRP: $16.99

The problem with traditional squares is that while they give you a straight edge, they do nothing to simplify and speed up the process of aligning your saw to your pencil mark. The Kreg Square-Cut™ simplifies this process with an adjustable guide arm that can be set to work with any circular saw or jigsaw. Simply match the arm to your saw’s unique offset, then use the Square-Cut™ to make fast and accurate cuts over and over again.

The Square-Cut's adjustable guide arm can be set to match any circular saw or jig saw. It compensates for the length from the blade to the edge of the base plate. What does this mean for you? Instead of eye-balling the blade on the pencil mark or using your tape measure to set back your saw from the line to a specific length, all you have to do to get a perfect cut is place the guide arm next to your mark, and make your cut. Faster results, fewer mistakes, and much less aggravation.

Thanks to the adjustable guide arm, you can set and reset it on-the-fly to match different saws you own. As a Kreg Jig owner, does this new product interest you? Please leave your comments below for our engineers and others involved in this exciting new project!

You should select some Kreg users and have them evaluate some "in the field". I belong to another woodworking club that offers product testing to its members in exchange for unbiased testimonials. Do you plan to make one for "lefties" or people that use cordless saws that have the blade on the left?

[Mike Wagner]

I like Anthony's question regarding "lefties" -- I'm one!

Maybe you can create a "skunk works" page in the community for advancing the conversation about tools like this and reviews from users?

Keep creating, Mike

Does the adjustable arm go up against the side of the blade for the offset? If so, when you bring your saw forward, wouldn't it technically start nicking the end of the arm? Thus, after a while, would it really damage the square's arm?

[Mike Hedgecock]

I'm with you Don, What- is - the offset? It looks like the arm would get nicked. Just an observation,... this does look better than my speed square. At least I could hold this without running the saw's motor over my knuckles.

[Nathan H]

Definitely interested but like the previous comments, I would like to know about a cordless saw version too. Ps. I'll be a beta tester!

[Don Harris]

I volunteer to be a tester. I suspect if you adjust the guide arm of the square with the blade tooth it would not get cut off.

[Kevin Coombs]

That looks nice, but I share the questions the others have posted. For now, I'll stick with my saw boards.

Great questions, everyone!!

#1 (LEFTIES) As of right now, this is the only model planned. This is a good idea and I will be sure to share it with our engineering deparment.

#2 (ADJUSTABLE ARM) Don is right, the arm is set using the saw blade's teeth as opposed to just the saw blade's body. This ensures that your cuts will be exactly accurate and the tip of the guide arm will not be damaged during the cut.

3) (OFFSET) The offset is completely adjustable. You can use it with a corded circular saw, a battery powered circular saw, or even jig saws which have a significantly smaller base plate.

[Kevin Coombs]

Thanks for answering our questions so quickly. Any idea when it will be available? I'll give it a try.

[Mike Hedgecock]

OK,..I'll ask,.....
When might we be seeing this? And whats the MSRP?
