Trend 36-Inch Varijig Clamp Guide for Routers & Saws, VJS/CG/36

Very happy with this clamp guide. I paid a bit more getting this vs. the ProGrip based on reviews and really like it. (I have no personal experience with the Progrip and it may be just as good). This has almost no flex and is perfectly straight. I will probably end up getting the 24in as well.

Many of the other guides require space below which makes it tough if you are cutting plywood or anything on the ground on top of the pink foam installation as I do. this one you can do that with! will even hold if the wood is flush with the ground. great product, will def buy this brand in other sizes.

Importé este producto a Chile con un costo no insignificado. Llegó empacado sin etiqueta "Fragil" y sin soporte en la caja. La caja y la herrramienta están dobladas y mirando la caja no hay sorpresa allí. Me gusta el producto pero no sé en qué estaban pensando las personas que lo empacaron. Estoy súper frustrado y enojado con está experiencia. Si los gastos de envio no son demasiados altos; voy a devolverla. Perdida de tiempo y los vendedores tienen que pensar bien en como empacar cosas con dimensiones así antes de frustrar sus clientes. 4 estrellas al producto si funcionó. 0 estrellas al tiempo y frustración de gastar mucho y no recibir algo que funciona.

OK, now I see the benefit of buying the proper tool. This is much easier, faster, more stable, less cumbersome and just better than all the makeshift methods I've used in the past. I used it with my circular saw today and, together with a decent blade, got a first class straight cut through 12mm plywood. It might take a little experimentation before you fully understand how to operate it, but just spend 5 minutes practicing on a piece of board, pushing and pulling all the sliding parts and you'll get the hang of it. (In essence, when you want to clamp it across the board there are 2 parts you can slide: one snugs it up to the wood, the other locks the slider in place. Then the lever tightens it all down.) But, if your the kind of operator to wield a circular saw or router then you'll work it out. Also, you'll look a lot slicker and more professional adeptly using this, and you will be smiling inside; a source of frustration has been nearly engineered away. I may have got carried away with this review.

Used as a guide runner for circular saw Clamp is strong with no movement when cutting

Finition parfaite de cette règle. La fixation se fait en abaissant la poignée ,il a deux positions possibles : la première serre moyennement sur la pièce et la deuxième serre de manière plus intense et dans ce cas, elle tient parfaitement sur la pièce. Cette regle dispense l'utilisation de serres joints.

Easy to use, nicely made and clearly designed by someone who understands the problems of trimming doors (etc). I thought the clamping force was inadequate until I realised that you have to push the lever right DOWN. With it right down, the clamping force is perfectly adequate and I did not feel the need for 'belt and braces' clamps even on expensive doors. When fine-tuning the position of the clamp, there is a tendency for it to 'see-saw' about the centre of the door. A very good example of why you should always measure twice and cut once!
