RIPCUT UK .

Anyone know if the ripcut available in the u.k. yet.

Mick,

I'd suggest making an inquiry at your local area tool suppliers.

Have you checked with D&M tools in the UK?

Ken checked with d/m they do some kreg products very limited amount no ripcut.Rutlands do not seem too market any kreg products.

Mick,

Are you really sold on getting the rip cut?

[Ken Darga]

Mick,

I'd prefer Kreg would come out with a ''track saw".

[michael evans]

Hi ken , i thought the ripcut would be a useful edition too the armoury,at present i use a small circular saw with a adjustable metal straight edge its a bit of a pain too set up.Track saws are very popular here on construction sites ,but do not want too go too that expense for something that will not get used that often for me anyway.

 Here is another product that is similar and available from Amazon.

The down side of this jig is twice the cost and does not have the measuring scale.  The plusses to the guide I have not seen any of the complaints about the end of cut wondering at the end that are present with the kreg rip cut. I have the rip cut and love it because of the scale and the wondering isn't that bad if you don't rip anything over 10 inches wide you get out to 24 inches its a problem. This guide also adds anti chip out to your cut because the blade is zero clearance.

Mick,

I like this edge guide---available from Rockler---

  

Ripping, cross-cutting

low-profile

52-104" (104" O/A---2 joined frames

Clamps to the underside of the project material, or the like.

Mount saw to plate---

adaptor slides in track groove

lifts on and off for easy access

Write-on tape, (use pencil), for use as a story stick.

routing---mount router to plate

adaptor for grooving

Auxillary frame for use as a T-square

Mick,

I like this straight edge design

shop made---(can be made from 1/4" pressboard)

various lengths can be made to suit your needs---2', 3', 4', 8'

simple--easy to use

clamp to work-piece

saw base runs along edge

blade cuts along edge---suffices as a ''zero-clearance" feature

I use a variety of these jigs for sawing (ripping and cross cutting panels, as well as edge routing.
