Someone quality control?

To be honest I only received this item today and have not used it yet. BUT it was immediately apparent that in the form in which it was supplied it was going to be difficult to use. The surface running along the edge of what you are cutting had sharp ridges on either end left over from the shape it was created in. They are usually removed as part of quality control, but not in this case. If you use this when shipping, those sharp edges will snag on the edge you're sliding on. You need to at least sand it down with medium grit sandpaper. Then I gave a few strokes with a Scotch-Brite pad to remove any traces of sandpaper. Now it's as smooth as a baby's bottom as it originally should have been. Otherwise it looks like a good product. The plastic T-profile holds perfectly on the metal rod, does not twist or slip at all. I expect this to be a great accessory for my Skilsaw and the fact that it also goes with my jigsaw and DeWalt battery only sweetens the deal. Considering the low price, I would definitely give it five stars if it weren't for the quality control issue. So buy, fix, use and enjoy!
