EVEN DEWALT SUPPORT OFFERS THIS FOR THE CORDLESS SAW. idiots!

DO NOT BUY IF YOU HAVE A CORDLESS SAW! This WILL NOT WORK for the DCS931 Cordless Saw. It cost me $6 to find out. I contacted DeWalt customer service online and they suggested the exact same rip guide. It's a shame if your own customer service offers the WRONG PART!

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Don't really like it, everything is fine

Has measurement markings, screw and spring included.

This is a heavy duty guide/guide that fits my DeWalt DW368 corded circular saw. The photo provided by Revain does not clearly show the mounting screw and spring that came with the box I received (DW3278 August 2018). There is also a size mark on the fence, but this is not visible in the seller's photo. The fence has a durable appearance and fits the saw snugly.

Pros
  • Dope 🔥
Cons
  • Big and Chunky

DeWalt parallel fence DW3278, quality and fit.

This DeWalt DW3278 fence is perfect for my DeWalt 20V XR brushless circular saw #DCS570P1. It comes with a flat head set screw and a spring in a small plastic bag. Quality shaft, good snug fit, no wobble front to back or up and down. If I ever accidentally bend these at work I will buy them again. I am not being paid for this or any of my reviews.

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Some cons

Fits perfectly on my Dewalt circular saw

I had to buy this as I have no idea what happened to the original I had with the saw. Now that I've bought this one I'm sure it will turn up. I don't know what the other reviewers are complaining about. I have a Dewalt DW3278 saw and it fits perfectly. This is definitely an OEM part. Solid and well made, I suspect some people took a chance and didn't pass. In this case just send it back? Finally, if you have a Dewalt Model DW3278 Circular Saw, this is definitely the part and it will fit easily.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons

The best Flexvolt guide to power tool parts and accessories

This guide actually works with the 575 Flexvolt cordless saw. It fits in the grooves and the hold down screw fits, but after you finger tighten the screw the guide moves back and forth. The scales on the guide are accurate and allow the tool to be used from either side. I assume the instructions are more appropriate for DeWalt corded saws. I also think DeWalt should include a guide bar with their expensive saws as most users will need one. Incidentally, the 575 Flexvolt saw cuts PT material…

Pros
  • Wow
Cons
  • It's ok

Will not fit Dewalt 20V Max Circular Saw

I bought these for the DCS391B saw but they don't fit. The hole for attaching the DCS391B is 12mm and for attaching this fence is 16mm. I am disappointed that this basic accessory was not included with the saw. I'm also disappointed that Dewalt only has one guide bar on the market and vaguely describes it as suitable for most of their saws, but the product description here doesn't list everything it does or doesn't do. When I called support I was only given a Black & Decker guide bar model…

DeWalt, what are you thinking about these days?!

TL;DR: For the true total cost of what you need, you're not far from a Kreg circular saw attachment for around $40. I will do that. The more I buy all the necessary parts that weren't included in the combo kit, the more I feel like I should have just bought the tools individually. And all the more I feel a little betrayed and betrayed by DeWalt, who I expected more from. It becomes a fact finding mission and a headache when I decide to spend my time working on my project. Anyway, on to the…

Pros
  • Great Price
Cons
  • Only available in Black

Pretty Good Overall

First of all my wife bought me a very nice DeWalt 7 1/4 inch circular saw for Christmas last year and I needed to get the right size guide for this saw. It turns out that all DeWalt saws work from the same manual, so that's good, there's no confusion. I've finally used it a few times and am collecting my thoughts on this teardown guide. , and will hold. The metal is also galvanized so I'm assuming it's steel, but the beauty of this is that it shouldn't corrode over time. Depending on which side

Pros
  • Absolutely Amazing!
Cons
  • Exterior

Dewalt is VERY misleading as they claim their guide bar fits most Dewalt circular saws. According to their own packaging, it only fits the DWE575, DWE575SB, DWE364, DWS535 and DW384, all of which are mains powered electric saws. Pay attention to the numbers of other reviewers. This is the only ripsaw that Dewalt sells and while I wouldn't be surprised if Black and Decker didn't have the correct ripsaw for our cordless saws, I haven't found one yet and reviewers who provide a part number are…

Pros
  • GOLS Certified
Cons
  • Compatibility
