Bit bulky but it is good quality
Great quality

Works great
This is so much more robust than the single port designs. The longer bar combined with the dual ports make it rock sold. It is almost impossible to veer off your rip cut. Bar runs ahead of and behind the blade, so your cuts are straight at the beginning and end. Measurement guide is accurate to the blade. Previous ones I have had are accurate to the edge of the guard, so you were always off using just the guide.

Almost like a table saw
Cuts almost as straight as a table saw! I've used it quite a bit ripping 2x4's and cutting plywood. You have to make sure you keep the side pressure you apply to the front of the guide is in front of where your blade is cutting our it will bind. The arms are aluminum and I can see how people accidentally bend them, but with a little caution I haven't had a problem. The measurements on the arms are precise and easy to use and adjust. It's a little spendy for what it is, but it does come in handy. Overall I think this is a great accessory to have for the DeWalt circular saw.

ALMOST fantastic.
LOVE the build quality, the dual port stability, and the ample purely on the guide. DO NOT live the fact that the laser etched scale on the arms are a full 1/8" off and no way to adjust. Not sure if the issue is in the assembly process, or it was just poorly engineered, but it's FRUSTRATING having nicely etched measurements that are unfortunately useless 😑

Works good, i had to make a tiny tweak though
Works good, i had to make a tiny tweak though. When i installed it the fence was off by about a degree or two. The fence was not true to the saw base and i had to adjust the bars slightly to get them to true it up. To be expected i would think since its marketed as a folding fence. One of the folding arms locks in place and can't be out plumb but the other in order to fold down it needs to be slid down a channel and then folded in, and that's the one bar that pulled the fence out of parallel. I adjusted the hardware to snug it up a little. Worked great as is but just to be a stickler i made it perfect.

If you don't own a table saw, you need this.
So glad i found this! I have used it a lot, with amazing results, with my 60v DCS577 (worm drive style) saw. If you put it on the left side, you can do 1/2" rips. Easily folds to go in your tool box. People tend to freak when i pull it out and pop it open. I had 2 pieces of 1" x 3" x 10 ft cedar from sawmill. I used the fence and the cordless to rip each one into two ½" x 3" boards , that came out beautifully.

Great rip guide
This rip guide is more accurate than the standard flimsy T-style ones I have used before. It is more stable and accurate because it has two attachments to the saw rather than just one.

slick... works very well...
very skeptical but this fence on my saw cut plywood down better than a table saw. As long as you have your wood clamped down so it won't pinch and have your cord so it won't catch, you won't be able to tell your cut from the factory edge. I ripped various widthsof maple plywood with a 40 tooth carbide blade, went the whole 8 feet and it went so fast I was amazed. The strips of ply are actually perfectly straight and smooth. This fence is pricy but it is well worth it.
