Review of All in One Clamp U-99 99-Inch Ultra Wide Grip Clamp with Double T-Track

I can not begin to describe how well this clamping tool guide works.It is easily adjustable to clamp on any width work piece but, obviously, this one was made to rip 8' sheet material.The guide has three levels of clamping force but the first level is enough to secure the guide so that it will not move during ripping.

This guide absolutely does not bow to the side as you rip.You can press the base plate of your circular saw tight against the side of this guide and rip away.For the first time I can rip a full 8' sheet of plywood and the cut is consistent width the full length.This is virtually impossible to do with cheaper guides like the thin-gauge, two-piece one from Johnson.

This guide has two t-slot tracks as well so you can design jigs and stops to attach to the guide.I purchased the optional 9"x12" HDPE saw plate for circular saws that runs in the T-track of the guide but I haven't used it yet.I don't know if I will ever have the need to.If the guide doesn't bow sideways, and believe me, this one doesn't, you can get a straight cut without the need of linking your circular saw to the guide with the optional plate.

The guide has slots that allow you to insert optional ruled scales (SAE or metric).However, I have purchased these and they are no good. The measuring scale is made of thin plastic laminated on paper and is off by 1/8" within 48".See my review for the "All in One Clamp I-99 99-Inch Scale (English)" product.This applies to all the E. Emerson all in one measurement scales that I have purchased.However, the extra wide surface between the T-slots on the Ultra Wide clamp leaves plenty of room to add a quality adhesive backed measurement tape such as those sold for table saw rip fence rails.I plan to purchase one of those to enhance my Ultra Wide.

This clamping tool guide is well worth the price and I'm glad I finally made myself try it.Do yourself a favor, through that cheap two-piece tool guide away, or that not quite straight piece of scrap lumber and buy one of these.You'll be glad you did when you start getting really straight cuts from your circular saw.

I also have the 54" Ultra Wide, the 50" standard width and the 36" standard width.See my reviews for those too.
