4.0 out of 5 stars you have to have it, September 1, 2004

You simply have to have it if you have one of the porter cable circular saws. My complaints are (1) it doesn't have any measurements marked (2) the tightening screw is hard to adjust.
Also, it makes more sense to simply include the rip guide in the saw kit instead of having it as an accesory. Actually, there's a groove on the inside cover of the carrying case, that fits the rip guide perfectly.

1.0 out of 5 stars Will Not Last, July 13, 2004

I owned and utilized this product on a PC circular saw for over 2 years. The metal is cheaply made as well as the set screws. The metal will bend when you attempt to tightened the screws enough so they will not vibrate loose. Eventually, one of the set screws broke while in the saw's shoe--causing more of a nightmare. Lastly, the guide isn't even marked with measurements--as with DeWalt's. DeWalt, incidently, provides a guide that has a much wider rod.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rip guide worth every penny, June 19, 2000

This is a great rip guide. It is nice and long, so you can adequately contact the work before the saw blade contacts the work. They used good thick metal bars for rigid control of the saw. It is a "must have" for great precision cuts.
