I have the Ripcut and have used it to cut precise pieces to build a lighted vanity mirror, a table out of scrap for the garage, cut LP siding to repair rotted sections on my home and cut a table top down to size.
All the pieces cut were exactly to my measurements. I even cut several identical sized pieces and stacked them on top of each other and they matched perfectly. As long as the sheet you start out with is square and straight and you don't wander you will have no problems.
Sure a table saw is nice but not everyone has a table saw or warrants the need for one or have a workshop. The Ripcut is well worth it.
I just finished up building about 20 kitchen base cabinets and used the Accucut on every sheet of plywood. It mostly worked great. As the project progress, the blue cut line on the jig has slowly worn / chipped away. It's still usable, but is now a bit off. This happened on both sides. At the start, I'd use the Accucut to cut exactly where I needed the finish plywood to be. Now, I leave it oversize a tad and finish up on the table saw (if possible). It's great for what it is, but don't expect track saw accuracy for under $100. I's still buy another one.
Thank you for immediately addressing the title of the video instead of 45 seconds of intro and filler. Just subscribed because of this! I’ve been looking for an answer for which /both to buy for a while!
You're welcome! Glad it helped! Thanks for the sub!
If you're building a high end modular cabinet and material is laminated. I recommend is you break down first the plywood into smaller size and finish it to your desired cut accurately with the table saw.
Accucut tends to make an error by 1mm when you cut it. Its a huge difference when making boxes with pvc edgebanding.
Great job, just what I was looking for!
Very helpful! This video really helps clarify what these two tools do and whether or not you need them.
Glad to help!
So funny! I just received both of these from Amazon. Still have to set them up. Looking forward to putting them to work. Thanks for the info!
Great video
Just wondering if these can cut at an angle? I am thinking of making a bunch of French cleats and wondering if the rip-cut will do the trick? Thanks.
I don't believe the rip cut will allow for that. I'll try to get a chance and look at it today and check
For the accu cut .. should I be worried about it moving a lot during a cut? I don’t see no clamps requires and that just my main concern .
It's got non slip pads on the bottom. As long as there isn't a bunch of sawdust under it, it works perfectly. I never have movement issues.
I don't think I'm smart enough to use my Accucut. I had to cut down a piece of OSB for a wall repair, and, MAN the cut was way off. It started accurate, but by the time I got to the end I was over an 8th out. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but this is one of several times the Accucut has failed to perform as it should. The only things I can think of is I didn't set it up properly, or it's somehow warped.
I really want the ripcut jig, but the one thing it relies on is a straight edge to start with. If you have wood that has no factory edge you won't get an accurate cut. I think the Accucut is supposed solve that problem.
Yeah I'm sad that that there isn't a good alternative. I don't have cash right now to buy a table saw, miter saw, or track saw. So i need to make due with ny circular
