Ensure highly accurate and cleaner rip cuts and routing tasks on stock up to 8' long with the Rockler Straight Edge System. This must-have edge system includes two 52'' highly durable extruded aluminum edges that stay right where you want them with a pair of iron-grip T-track clamps. Prevent your Straight Edge Clamp from slipping with Straight Edge Grip Tape (sold separately). The self-adhesive foam rubber is easy to apply and keeps a firm grip on most surfaces. It's so easy to apply, too, just lay the tape in place and remove the backing to reveal the self-adhesive. Also works very well with jigs or in places you need to reduce or eliminate slippage. Each roll is 1/2'' wide x 110'' long.

Technical Details:

  • Two 52'' extruded aluminum straight edge pieces Use separately or lock them together using built-in steel union bars and set screws
  • Power tool guide fits straight edge groove for total control with your circular saw or router
  • Two T-Track Clamps with a 2-3/4" capacity and T-knobs for easy adjustment
  • High-visibility yellow erasable story stick writing surface
  • Convenient removable handle slides along the T-track and lets you move the edge from one project to another
  • T-fence attachment turns your straight edge into an adjustable T-square
Shop Built saw/router sleds not included. Acrylic base for power tools sold separately. 1/4'' Thick Material Required.

Great product. My only complaint is that the clamps aren't faster to use and they can make the edge wander a little bit while tightening.

Purchased while I was trasforming my garage into a Man Cave / Woodworkers Ultimate Workshop. Just looked at the shipper, that was 4 months ago. I spent time cutting, shaping, drilling the acrylic base to fit my DeWALT DC390 Circular Saw yesterday. Today was the first time I used this system. It is one of those V8 moments: "Dang, wish I had this a long time ago". I will only use this system to cut large sheets, window frames or doors, so the 6 1/2 blade will do the job and I did not want to mess with cords. I went with the DC390 because it is super easy to remove the motor from base so I could drill/tap so I could mount the acrylic sheet. On the inside I had to remove a lot of tap to get to the parts, Rockler did a great job of shipping this to me, they didn't take any chances. Everything inside the box was taped down and secured.

This is a great product for ripping full sheets of plywood. It is very sturdy and lets me finally make accurate cuts with my circular saw.

Using a precision square that is accurate to 0.0028" per inch, I was able to attach the T-square and get squared up in just a few seconds, using the t-bolts. Using it to layout and cut some sheetrock for a wall repair took only a few seconds and allowed me to get the job done in less than 2 hours. You can tell by the construction and accuracy of the setup this is a very well made tool. As usual, Rockler has produced another great, accurate tool for woodworking. Keep up the Great work Rockler!

Ordered straight edge system on a Friday and received the item by the next Wednesday. On Saturday I was cutting cutting 4 x 8 plywood panels far more easily and accurately than ever before! I attached the system guide adapter directly to my circular saw base and can now rip a panel perfectly. Only request would be to acquire additional guide adapters so I could have other tool adapters made up and ready to go. Rockler comes through again!

This product does the job nicely but would be better if the clamps could be tightened from above or below. It was purchased for working in limited spaces and there is inevitably something too close to allow access on one end or the other.

I just received this system and have only used it for a couple of cuts with a jig saw. Results were reasonable for a edge guide type cut as there was a bit of side wandering by the unconstrained jig saw which was due to the less than ideal stock support that I had.
I first tried to use the T-square but found that as soon as I clamped it from the far end that it went out of square. Then I used the T-square attachment to mark a line and then removed the attachment and used the supplied clamps. This worked well.
I checked for squareness with a digital protractor and found it to be within 0.1 degree or the accuracy of the digital device. I also linked the two lengths together and after tightening the set screws, found that there was a slight bow in the center. Both of the ends seem to be slightly out of square. I corrected this by placing a straight edge level against both pieces before tightening. This left a small gap on one side of the joint. After moving the assembled bars around, they seemed to stay straight.
This is not an unreasonable result or practice as a 0.5 degree error over 52" amounts to a 0.45" offset at 52" per my CAD drawing.
I would agree with other reviewers on two points, extra accessory guide adapters are absolutely required to gain full value from this system, and some instructions on use are highly desireable.
