How to Make and Use a Rip Guide With Your Circular Saw
Start by laminating the two pieces together lengthwise with the out side long edges directly on top of each other. Install the straight edge on the top with the straight side on the side of the bottom that reveals. Use glue and short staples or brads that do not completely penetrate the two pieces. Allow the glue to set before continuing.

After the glue has set clamp the guide to a work bench or suitable support. The clamps need to be on the side with the two layers and as close to the edge as possible. Rip the lower edge of the guide using the same saw that will be used while using this guide. Be sure to keep the base plate of the saw tight against the factory or straight edge of the guide. I recommend using a new high quality blade in the saw and using that blade anytime you use the guide. This step will cut the guide exactly where the saw will cut in the future.

To use this guide, mark the work piece at both ends. Clamp the guide on the marks. Keep in mind which side of the work piece that you are keeping or you will cut the piece short by the width of the kerf.

Guides like this can be made to use with routers, however they are tool specific. If you make one for a router it needs to be made for that particular router and what ever cutter that will be used in that router. It works great with a plunge router to make flutes in columns.

My passion for woodworking was a gift from my father. The idea of being able to create beautiful furniture has been a lifelong passion. I began building custom furniture for major rock stars, academy award winning movie directors and Emmy award winning television directors as well as famous talk show hosts. I enjoy sharing my expertise with others. Several times a year I hold weekend workshops where students have the opportunity to create a project and benefit from my years of knowledge and experience.
