Rip guide ripoff:

The product came as scheduled in good shape. The product consists of two pieces of stamped out steel spot welded together and painted. It probably cost $1.00 to make, if that. My cost was about $25, including shipping -- that's a ripoff.

well made, only one attachment point:

I thought it would screw into 2 places on the sole but my Porter Cable MAG25 only had one screw hole, maybe to avoid binding? Well made, does the job.

you have to have it:

You simply have to have it if you have one of the porter cable circular saws. My complaints are (1) it doesn't have any measurements marked (2) the tightening screw is hard to adjust.
Also, it makes more sense to simply include the rip guide in the saw kit instead of having it as an accesory. Actually, there's a groove on the inside cover of the carrying case, that fits the rip guide perfectly.

Will Not Last:

I owned and utilized this product on a PC circular saw for over 2 years. The metal is cheaply made as well as the set screws. The metal will bend when you attempt to tightened the screws enough so they will not vibrate loose. Eventually, one of the set screws broke while in the saw's shoe--causing more of a nightmare. Lastly, the guide isn't even marked with measurements--as with DeWalt's. DeWalt, incidently, provides a guide that has a much wider rod.
