The EzSmart Square being used as a cross-cut rip fence... schweet.

Power tools are inherently dangerous, consider a 8 1/2″ blade spinning at 5200 RPM on a 10+ lb tool that you hold with one hand while you steady a 2×4 with the other hand all while surrounded by air hoses, extension cords, materials, debris and a radio playing some moe. song because thats what the hippy you work with listens to. Thats a mouthful isn’t it? Keep in mind you still haven’t cut that board. For jobsite safety there is nothing safer than a rail system Now everyone knows about the Festool Plunge Cut Saw and their guide rail system but what beginning woodworker has the jack to pony up for that? A little company called Eureka Zone has come up with a great way to get that Festool cut without having to plunk down $500+. The manufacturer claims that you can cut softwood, hardwood and even melamine with no tearout using a 40 Tooth Diablo Blade, that sounds like one hell of a trick. With some clever engineering, some small “anti-chip tabs” and of course the stability of the rail system, added with my knowledge of the Festool Plunge Saw, it should work. But I’d have to see it in action to appreciate it. Now I do not own this item, but it is definately something that I would buy. Actually if it does what they say it does I want to get the Smart Square. Which has an always true square attachment on the rail, and it provides a great place to put your hand while the saw is going. With one hand on the square and the other hand on the saw with the saw resting on the guide rail I can see it providing a nice smooth, clean cut that is as straight as a rail. For the amature woodworker like me, that does not have all the big expensive machines, this is an amazingly versatile way to get started. This can get you started without a miter saw or a table saw, I mean thats at least $500 and up to $5-$10,000 depending on what brand you buy. An amazing value, and its entirely made in the USA so you KNOW its quality.
