Default A walk-along circular saw plywood ripper.

A walk-along circular saw plywood ripper. I put a 4 foot handle on a
circular saw. It was attached to a plywood plate and a right angle
edge, that positions the blade exactly 10" from a ripping guide.

I can rip plywood sitting on 2x4's on the floor by just walking along
guiding the circular saw against the guide. Just like using a lawn
edger.

Very accurate, safe, and convenient.



I think I will pass. I fail to see how safe, accurate, or convenient this
would be. Sometimes a circular saw can be a handful when you are hanging on
to it like it was intended, let alone with a 4 foot extension handle on it!
When I need to rip some ply I either lay it across a couple saw horses and
stand beside it, or just run it through my table saw.
