Cutting Saw Accessories

Cutting saw accessories are add-ons that make your saw more productive and help it deliver consistently straighter cuts. While a track saw is the ultimate solution for making repetitive straight or angled cuts, that type of specialty saw can be expensive to own and operate. But a few aftermarket products and a simple shop-built jig can help you get more accuracy from your circular saw without the expense of a tracked model. An indexed straightedge such as Kreg's Straight Edge Guide for Circular Saws lets you know where your blade will cut each time, eliminating the need to remember or measure your saw base's offset distance from layout marks. A variety of clamp-in-place guides for crosscutting and angular cuts also improve saw performance. See this article for more on these accessories.
