Any ideas on how to cut an angle with the rip cut? I love this thing. Saved about $300 putting in laminate flooring. I almost bought a table saw.

In reply to Jackie. You can do a lot with the RipCut but not everything a tablesaw can do. I use both. Ripping full sheets of lumber on a table saw is nearly impossible safely and without binding up your blade and burning your wood because it's so hard to keep the 8' sheet fed straight through. I use the RipCut to cut down a full sheet. If I need small pieces, I'll use the RipCut strategically and then rip to size on my table saw.

HI!
Does this replace a table saw? I’m wondering why you wouldn’t rip it on the table saw?
(Obviously if you don’t have a table saw- but if you do is there a reason for using a circular saw?)
Am I missing something?

Thanks!

Wow! The Rip-Cut is even better than I expected. i didn’t think it was possible to smoothly glide the tee and my saw. Those 4×8 sheets are history and my cuts are better than the factory edges! I bought a sheet of foam too…Great Idea.

In reply to Sandra. Thanks for explaining! I've got to try it that way.
