Tools and Hardware Reviews of All in One Clamp U-54 54-Inch Ultra Wide Grip Clamp with Double T-TrackCustomer Review: Great Straight Edge for Circular Saw Cutting Summary: 5 StarsThis is an excellent straight edge for cutting plywood with a circular saw. It does not flex at all and the clamping mechanism holds securely on 3/4" plywood.
The best part is the clamp grabs the edges of the plywood and secures with a single lever. Now when I have to cut plywood, or other sheet goods, I throw a piece of 3/4 particle board on my saw horses, then a 2" thick sheet of pink insulating foam, then the sheet I am going to cut. This way I can make multple cuts on the pywood without re-positioning the sheet/sawhorses. The particle board+foam supports the entire sheet so I do not have to worry about "catching" the piece at the end of the cut.
The clamp does not self align so you have to either check the squareness with a tape measure or if you are making multiples of the same cut, make a measuring jig with a stop block out of some scrap lumber. I wrote the required offsets for my circular saw base right on the clamp to speed things up when I am using a tape.
I just finished cutting sides for 6 base cabinets using this clamp and two measuring jigs, one for the height and one for the width. It took about half the time as my old method of using two 6" clamps to hold a straight edge to the board. There was 1/64" or less variation in size between the pieces.
Other Comments - I would not bother buying the guide that rides on the top track if your are using this with a circular saw, it is really easy to keep the base against the guide. The guide has a low enough profile to clear my saw motor so I can cut with the guide against either side of my circular saw base, this is a nice plus.
