The Bench Dog Cross Cut Saw Guide is an excellent tool...Incredibly accurate, easy to use, and a time saver...not to mention that there is no learning curve in knowing how to use it!

Use a speed square it cost like seven bucks and has a thousand other uses.

pro cut circular saw guide [Posted on 2007-05-13]
This item is great for cutting anything from 2x4's to 2x12's. Once you set it up for your saw it cuts very straight lines with ease.

Great little tool! [Posted on 2007-08-22]
To the person who said, "why?"
Because not all of us want to take the time to measure, set up clamps to hold a straight edge, just to have it slip. The directions are simple. A novice can use it. It cut down my time to make cuts by at least two-thirds. I would recommend this to anyone who doesn't look down their noses at items to make woodworking easier!

Circular Saw Cutting Guide [Posted on 2008-09-06]
When rough cutting, a good craftsman can follow a pencil line. An accurate straight cut requires a straight edge clamped to the material to be cut. This items attempts to shortcut that process and just doesn't work.

Because it's a one item fits all device, it first has to be cut to fit your circular saw. The problem is that it has a minimal edge to support the circular saw when starting the cut, so you frequently start off in the wrong direction. Despite its being made from plastic, there was a lot of friction between it and my saw. which caused the whole unit to shift, making cuts less than perfect. My freehand cuts were just as good as cuts made with this device.

Sears makes an item that is both cheaper and more useful.

They used to make a table that converted a circular saw into a 45/90° miter saw, that I bought 30 years ago.
