KMS8000 Precision Trak & Stops Kit - Track Guide for Miter Saw - Woodworking Saw Guide - Miter Saw Accessories - Woodworking Tools

Standard high-quality material and construction from Kreg. This system is a must for your chop saw table. I can now spend more time actually working on a project rather than the mundane task of measuring and marking pieces. The measurements from this system are dead-on and the cuts infinitely repeatable. This is one of the few tools that can enhance the skills of a novice woodworker to the point people may think you actually know what you're doing. Get one. I didn't build the box recommended in the instructions. I had an existing table where the saw is recessed to level-up with the actual table surface. I resurfaced both sections of the table with a sheet of melamine board and cut a strip to stand vertically for mounting the top track. I sandwiched this vertical strip with two sections of melamine board to form the actual table top front and back surfaces. It looks great. Hats-off to Kreg (...AGAIN) I also bought their router table stand and top system. That's another favorable review. I find my shop taking on a significant blue contrast to the sea of "black and yellow" tools.

I built a miter station and this was a perfect fit. Installation was easy although it took some time to get my miter aligned. When fully installed, it cuts my cutting time in half. No more annoying measurements for multiple cuts of the same size. In fact, the accuracy is so precise, I no longer use a measuring tape for my cuts. Highly recommended.

Excellent quality, Kreg is a name you can trust

I don't know that anyone gets this track system without knowing how nice they are. And they are. I have my bench set up to where it has six feet of track on each side of the saw - so about 82" each way after accounting for the saw base. I didn't really have a choice given some other things I wanted the saw to stay clear of but if you are able I'd have one side with at least 8' of track even if you have to offset the saw with less track on the other side. I bet we all tend to use a dominant side anyway (left side if you are right handed, etc). But back to the product itself. Very easy to install if you build the fence according to their recommendations. Mine is made of MDF and works great. Track mounts easily, tape goes on easily, and the stop measuring indicator is generously adjustable to easily dial in the exact measurement. I used swing stops on both sides of my saw and I like them. I don't see a use for the production stop yet that came with the kit. I figured I'd appreciate the convenience of moving the swing stops out of the way which I do a lot. My only slight disappointment is where the tracks butt up to each other. The stops don't glide over the joints very smoothly despite my best efforts to mount them aligned and snug to each other. But that's a small complaint. This system rocks.

I recently upgraded my miter saw station to the Bosch GCM12SD and thought I would upgrade my fence stop system at the same time. I purchased two of these kits and have them installed and am very happy with them. Couple of problems though. FIRST: Kreg needs to consider the supplier of the tape. I used one R/H and one L/H tape and on both of them I had considerable trouble removing the paper backing from the tape. It would leave little pieces on the back edge and I would have to take a box knife to get it started again. It did this constantly the whole 106" I was using on both tapes. Not a big deal but after wiping the trak down with alcohol and trying to keep it clean to get the best adherence it kept getting little pieces of paper on the trak. SECOND: If you are doing fine carpentry and expect to be cutting any 45° angles you will have trouble if you mount the trak to a 3/4" wood fence. If you do, the production stop (main one), will have a gap between the wood fence and stop of about 3/32". This will allow the tip of a 45° cut to wedge itself between the wood part of the fence and the stop of your second cut. Example- cutting picture frames or top casing for a door or window. I ended up milling some 4/4 stock down to 27/32" and it resulted in the production stop being snug against the wooden part of the fence when tightened down. After those minor considerations it works great!

There’s no doubting this is a quality addition to my radial arm saw. It’s easy to set up and there’s no play in the stops. Don’t do what I did and cut your fence without reading the instructions! It must be 2.25 inches, not a penny more or less and 3/4” wide. With my Freud blade, the clearance with my motor housing is the thickness of a steel rule, probably about a 1/16th of an inch. Any less and I would have needed to buy a bigger blade to raise my cut. Postscript: I’ve said there’s no play in the stops. The stop on the right of the photo is rock solid - zero give. The stop that lifts on the left flexes a 1/16”. I’ve marked it with the pencil. That may not bother you especially if you have a light touch. I don’t. It just means that I’ve bought an extra one of the stops on the right as I use the radial arm saw to cut tenons. I’m happy with that 😊.

For some reason, I was a little concerned about setting up the tape measure accurately however I encountered no problems once I read the supplied instructions. Entire system well built and easy to install.

Kreg hace muy buenos productos y gadgets, cierto es que caros, sera porque es empresa americana y aquí nos suben el precio tela, porque los mismos productos en América están por la mitad, pero vamos obviando eso, tenemos una guía super útil, sobre todo para cortes repetitivos de inglete, una vez bien puesta y calibrada, te hace los cortes mucho mas fáciles, con muy buena fiabilidad de medición.

Es muy funcional para tomar las medidas

Fantastic and a great addition to my crosscut
