All of my Makita came with rip guides. Even the jig saw.

That saw is 25 years old. I think the rip guide disappeared around 24 years ago.

I have a special place i hide all those kind of things, now if I could remember where it is.....

Who took that picture and why?. Are they so proud of the red neck track saw its needs to be shared with the w.w.w.

This is priceless... you cannot beat that it will still do any job :thumbsup:
I still love and enjoy using my Old Porter Cable saw Model# 617 that takes a dab of grease on the side :thumbsup:.

I saw that trick in Finehomebuilding. I tried it once but didn't find it that stable.

 

[Tinstaafl]

You mean I can't patent it as an original invention? I'm devastated. :sad:

I wouldn't want to trim cabinetry that way, but for a couple of 16' deck boards, it works like a champ.

I used to use 2 small c clamps for that a long while ago.
I know someone who uses his fingers for that, just pinches the base plate at the front about 1 1/2" or farther from the blade and slides the side of his index finger along the wood as he cuts. Thats too close for me, I will do 4" or so. Need very thick skin for that.

That's actually what I do most times. But for several 16' rips on nasty knotted PT... :no: :laughing:

I make a line with a pencil by holding the lead against the measured mark of a speed square and run it down quick and then just freehand the cut.

I bought a brand new maloti circular saw at the hd and it didn't come with a rip guide.

I've used the vise-grip trick but generally use my finger and thumb... it's fast and does an accurate job.

This is what caused me to buy a track saw. I always made fun of them and managed to get quite accurate with index finger than one day ran a splinter from knuckle to knuckle.

Now festool is in my life.
