Milescraft 1403 Universal Saw Guide for Circular and Jig Saws Rip Guide Extends 14in Cuts Circles up to 24in

A good product. Works with both right hand and left hand circular saws. Well worth the price. Well thought out.

I used this to rip 2x10’s down to a standard width for a deck that had a beam underneath, and the height of the joists was important to me. My only complaint is that the red part of the guide bar is not quickly reversible, to allow it to be on either the left or right side of the saw. Also, the instructions lead you to configure it for the right side, which limits your rips to about 8 inches, and places your saw away from the rip. I took the screws out of the red part and reversed it, to allow the guide bar to be on the left side, which increases the rip width to about 13 inches, and places the saw over the top of the rip, which is more stable for trimming 2x10’s. The pictures show my guide bar on the left.

When I first opened the box of this tool I was a little wary based on the somewhat plasticky and inexpensive feel and I was afraid I wouldn't be able to get it to fit securely to my Dewalt cordless circular saw base plate. After assembly and a little fiddling I was able to confidently get it secured and I have since been using it to rip a small amount off of replacement doors in our home. With this tool and a new saw blade, it has done a pretty flawless job. Every cut has been smooth and even and pretty easy to keep straight. For a budget tool that I needed essentially just for these door installs, it has been pretty good.

You need to be a rocket scientist to figure out how this thing works. I was so disgusted. I threw it in the garbage.

Poorly written instructions and difficult to see pictures on this purchase. Needed 2 people to figure out how it was supposed to fit on jigsaw, and discovered that it can barely be held in place on my corded Ryobi orbital variable speed saw. Seems to fit more easily on older lower end saws with flat top shoes. Almost afraid to try using on the expensive wood I need to cut, so no great review for this Milescraft product. Even if it works, I cannot recommend it for jigsaw unless you are ready to return if you can't make it fit safely. On the other hand it works fine on my 7/14 circular saw so its not a total loss. I will try to modify this unit to secure on my jifaw, but that is not a happy effort on my part. Since other "universal fits" all seem to be the same, it is worthy of average rating, but no more.

I specifically picked this because it was labeled as universal so I could use with my jigsaw and skill saw. It’s clear adding the skill saw function was an after thought. The plastic wing nuts and double sided screws to lock the guide onto the saw aren’t reliable and don’t give a tight enough fit to trust. The saw was able to easily shift not only giving a bad cut, but exposing the user to potential harm when it unexpectedly shifts away from the guide. I haven’t used it for the jigsaw yet but because it will sit in the middle of the device it will probably be more secure. The included instructions leave a lot To be desired on proper setup and use, I wasn’t able to find any setup/demo videos that Boone online either.

Arrived on time / safe and sound. I put it to work immediately - performed as advertised

Great and works

Good tool

I'm an amateur and this gave me the confidence to install and cut Ikea sidepanels, which is the nightmare of anyone installing Ikea kitchens. It was a bit vague on the installation instructions, but if you're smartm enough to figure out how to install an Ikea kitchen you can figure this out... just need to swear one or two times until you figure it out :-)
