Both the ripping dude and the crosscut side have some set to the teeth, so it's not really a flush cut saw-- it'll scuff the surface you're cutting to if you ride up against it. Still a good saw, but not the 100% ideal for trimming plugs.

As you've already heard, yes it can. You lock the saw in place on the two rails and tighten down the "rip fence." How well it makes rip cuts depends on the material. I cut both laminate and engineered hardwood flooring. I (and a few other reviewers) found that, if you're installing laminate, you'll get about one rooms' worth of use from the blade before it will slow down significantly and burn its way through your rip cuts. I used a new blade when installing the engineered hardwood and the blade was still good after two rooms' worth of cuts. The blade size is non-standard, so you'll need to buy replacements where you buy the saw if you decide to go this route. As you've already heard, yes it can.

If it is the sane model I have you can buy them at Lowes. I think the length is not exact but they work fine because there is a lot of adjustment on the saw.

It seems the fences need to be for the saw. There is a universal fence that comes with different with rules but it doesn't have the hold down screw.

This accessory rip fence was advertised to fit a Bosch CS5 circular saw. It did not fit the Bosch saw but supposedly was the correct part for Skil circular saws. I do not know if it will also fit a Skil jigsaw.

Putulowski is correct--this saw has a very accurate rip fence already. It is very easy to dial in 1/32" accuracy just using the rack & pinion knob. That said, to install an aftermarket rail you would have to remove the rack & pinion rails from the front and back. I am not sure there is anything of substance to bolt an aftermarket rail to; you should look at one in HD or Lowes. The major problem is that, after you took off the existing fence, you would be left with only about 10" or less ripping capacity to the right of the blade and less to the left.

no rip fence. its pretty light duty actually, barely enough horse to cut anything, wont have enough power to do any good rip cut above 2".

No. A miter attachment comes with it. I had to make my own rip fence. The table is cast aluminum. I also had to rework the arbor for the blade to eliminate the wobble in the blade. A sharp blade is important and don't rush it, then the motor won't get too hot.

No. I bought a 3/8" blade to supplement the stock 1/4" blade and use the wider blade to rip with a straight board clamped to the table. It can cut thicker wood than my 10" table saw & can rip small stuff difficult to rip on a table saw.

Won't be the cleanest cut compared to a standard circular saw. Purpose of this saw is to trim/destroy/take down items vs. achieving a "clean" cut. In the absence of, it's better than a hacksaw but your challenge would be securing the wood door saddle well enough for this to cut its way through. The reciprocating push/pull action of the saw causes considerable vibration that isn't conducive to the cleaner cut of a circular saw.

The teeth are set for rip. There is very little set. However I have used it successfully for both rip and cross cuts. It also makes a decent flushcut if you are careful.

The saw has a large duct outlet on the bottom (4"+?). I imagine with sufficient adaption any dust collection system could be connected to it.

My understanding is that the digital attachment for the rip fence is an optional extra. I do not have it and I don't miss it. But, I would suppose that if you are a maker of fine cabinets or other high-precision work you might find it helpful. I do not know the cost of the digital fence.

This is super inconvenient! there is no excuse either, as the thumb screw doesn't come with the saw, so of course it should come with the ripping gauge. and on amazon you could spend the same amount as the ripping gauge on a thumb screw! try a good hardware store. home depot in my area doesn't have it. maybe a different home depot, or maybe lowe's... it's a 10-32 thread thumb screw, probably needs to be about 3/4" long

I am not aware of any attachment. I believe you will need to have diamond bore to fit this saw.

Gary im sure there might be one as an option to buy, but my kit did not come with one, i just got the tool and the seller threw in a few extra cutting bits, thanks for your question tho, id research that a little more, im sure worse case scenario you could make a collar out of like pvc an attached it to the machine to allow you to guide it around a circle, maybe a rod to the center point (middle) or a string on a nail/screw and it would work sort of like a compass
