Trend 100-Inch Varijig Straight Guide, VJS/G/100

I was sceptical that this would be any better than a DIY track saw guide made with a sheet of MDF and a piece of pine batten on the top, but since having difficulties with the DIY track deflecting by ~5mm in the centre I thought I'd give this a go and I've been really impressed - less than 1mm deflection in the middle and stows away easily. I've used this as a guide for circular saw and router and it works well with both.

First of all, I’m pretty sure mine was used even though it was advertised as new as it had scuff marks along one side and the packaging had obviously been opened and roughly taped up again. But the main reason for sending it back was I just couldn’t lock in a straight edge, no matter what I did. The two pieces are very solid and well made, but the joining mechanism is pretty lightweight. Move the whole piece to slide a new piece under it and your straight edge has probably gone. Maybe I got a duffer.

these are a must for anyone ripping down 8x4 sheet timber or similar. light weight, really well made and sturdy. wish i had these years ago. i am an avid Festool fan, however i can't fault these Trend products for the money.

Great item best way to get a straight edge brought to help cut doors to size. Had to buy extra clamps as the ones that come with it were to small . Thought they were over priced think they should of come with the pack .All said made easy work of getting a nice straight edge.Would definitely recommend

As a carpenter I was after a really accurate straight guide for cutting edges off doors and similar jobs. This does it but because it’s a two part thing that clamps at either end there is flex in the centre at the joint, even if it’s done up tightly. It is good but I think it could be better with a longer centre connection. The short cross cut version is absolutely fantastic; easy, quick, accurate and worth the investment.
