Michael,
Yep, that's the one. I was not able to maneuver the 4x8 sheets of plywood onto a table saw (too much stuff in garage), so I saw that this had just come out and decided to give it a shot. When trying to cut the 19 1/2 inch wide sides for the cabinets, I wound up with the blades binding and wandering. I have used other guides before and never had the problems that I had with this. I thought, well even if it is designed to go 24 inches, maybe the distance is too much-nope, not much happier with the 4 inch strips that I used to make drawer sides out of. If I had not lost the receipt, I would have taken it back. I tried it with a Craftsman 7.5 circular and a Kawasaki 5 inch cordless. It may just be me, but I even followed the directions, which is rare, realigned the blade and guide several times, Slowed down how I moved the saw, tried to gently move the edge snug to the board, but at the same rate as the saw, still looked like a drunken stroll. Kreg had just came out with this product and I had not been able to find any reviews when I got it in Apri, I now see 2 on their site, one of which involved modifing the saw mount. ymmv
