Rockler Woodworking and Hardware has introduced a safer and easierย way to rip or rout 8โ sheets of stock with the Rockler Straight Edgeย System (SKU #36495). Included with the system is a pair of 52โณ extrudedย aluminum edges that can be locked end-to-end or used separately to getย accurate and cleaner cuts whether using a circular saw, jigsaw, orย router. Also included is a power tool guide which locks a saw or routerย to the straight edges, keeping cuts safer and straighter by eliminatingย drift and kickback associated with freehand cuts. The all-in-one systemย also includes two T-track clamps that lock the edges securely in place,ย a T-fence attachment that essentially turns the system into a T-square, and anย adjustable handle that allows the user to move the system from oneย project to another.
โWeโve given our customer a better and much saferย alternative to snapping a line on 4โฒ x 8โฒ sheet stock and making aย freehand rip- or cross-cut. This system comes with two 52โณ edges thatย lock end-to-end and are clamped down with the included T-track clampsย for a 104โณ long guide; perfect for 8โฒ rip cuts. Or use just one edge toย make a 4โฒ crosscut. Add the locking sled to the equation and the resultย is accuracy and safety not possible with freehand cuts.โ
โ Jim Frey, Product Developer for Rockler
The system allows users to cut 4โฒ x 8โฒ plywoodย panels far more easily and accurately than ever before. The system guide is also very handy because it adds tangible safetyย and accuracy elements.
