  Bench Dog 10-019 ProCut and a Worm Drive Saw October 3, 2008 The ProCut is a great idea. Wish I had it years ago. Did not try it with a right bladed circular saw since I now only use worm drive saws. It still works with a worm drive but there is only a small amount of procut bed under the saw. As a result you have to hold the saw up on the bed of the ProCut with a slight CCW twist of the wrist. Once you make your first cut the ProCut is customized for that saw.
  Circular Saw Cutting Guide September 6, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
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.
  Great Tool July 29, 2008 I ordered this guide some time ago, but did not have a particular need at the time. However, I just obtained a job that required the cutting of several 2x 12 boards. The guide worked great and I was able to cut the boards accurately and straight with little effort. All shop should have one!
  Great little tool! August 22, 2007 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
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!

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.
