Tools and Hardware Reviews of All in One Clamp A-50 50-Inch Grip Clamp Guide w/T-track
Customer Review: Looks like it would be a nice accessory but...
Summary: 2 Stars
...mine arrived with a permanent bow that prevents it from laying flat on a workpiece. That means I have to rig another clamping solution to hold it down (flat). As others mention, it flexes under moderate lateral pressure. My 98" aluminum edge guide ($20 from Ace Hardware) is superior for routing and cutting, although it does not provide the T-slots. Bought this in July 2007 from Amazon, tried it three times, and now it hangs unused in a corner. I may re-purpose it (screwed down) for it's long T-slots, but never again as a routing edge. OK, I'll say something nice: the blue color is pretty.Customer Review: Needs more

I agree with other reviewers who say that this clamp is of little value without the wide jaws attachment. The tool is well designed but with out the wide mouth, it doesn't square up very well.
I agree with others that the wide jaws attachment should not be an option, rather it should be included with the basic tool.
I ordered my clamp by itself and was unhappy with its performance. I went back on-line and then saw the optional wide jaws attachment. I bought it, attached it to the clamp, and now I am happy with the tool.
So if you are considering the purchase of the clamp, figure in the additional cost of the wide jaws before you decide on whether the product has value for you.
Customer Review: Nice Product

This is a very good useful tool. I make car audio boxes and I use it to ruff cut my pieces to make them more manageable. Then cut to exact lenght with my table saw. Works good but shipping is horrendous pay for extra shipping do not use free shipping.Customer Review: Not precision, nor square at all. Keep looking.

Unless I'm doing something wrong, this clamping guide isn't all it's made out to be.
Here's my story: I already have a very nice table saw that has rails long enough to cut a full sheet of plywood in half, though that doesn't mean it's something that I like to do while I'm alone. That being said, I like to use the circular saw to make the panels more manageable in size before putting them on the table saw. This guide will certainly do this, but don't expect your cuts be to square. I even bought longer 'guide feet' (not sure what to call them), which are supposed to create a larger surface to square against, and this too doesn't really help.

If you're going to use a clamping system you should be able to have precision and accuracy when cutting and this doesn't fulfill the promises of the manufacturer. Good luck.
Customer Review: Portable table saw...Just add a skill or jig saw
Summary: 4 Stars
This thing is great. My brother n law turned me on to the portable fence and I had to have one. I don't have a lot of spare room to house a table saw so this was a great alternative. I use it with either my Jig or Skill saw and it makes even large cross cuts a breeze. It is also handy for laying out the cuts in advance. Great product.......
