I am a very novice wood worker. I have some beginner books about "2x4 furniture" I have a circular saw, but, as you know, unless you are very experienced, executing cross cuts on lumber is not just a matter of chopping -- you have to measure, and add for the blade offset -- every time!. It was tedious, and i was close to getting a table saw or a miter saw. Fortunately, I came across this clever too -- simply line up the guide on the line where you want to cut, push the saw, and you are done.
Thumb's up!

Why???
Use a speed square it cost like seven bucks and has a thousand other uses.

Fabulous cutting aid
The Bench Dog Cross Cut Saw Guide is an excellent tool...Incredibly accurate, easy to use, and a time saver...not to mention that there is no learning curve in knowing how to use it!

Great little tool!
To the person who said, "why?"
Because not all of us want to take the time to measure, set up clamps to hold a straight edge, just to have it slip. The directions are simple. A novice can use it. It cut down my time to make cuts by at least two-thirds. I would recommend this to anyone who doesn't look down their noses at items to make woodworking easier!

pro cut circular saw guide
This item is great for cutting anything from 2x4's to 2x12's. Once you set it up for your saw it cuts very straight lines with ease.
