There is no faulting Kreg for their attention to high quality precision measurement tools. The kit is well packaged, the instructions are clear, if a bit terse, and everything works as advertised.
My only problem is that the clamp knob on the production stop is much larger than required. In my particular set-up, it's also in the wrong place: behind the fence. The flip stop attaches with a T-bolt and a small knob that is on top. Easy to get to. But the production stop extrusion isn't configured to allow this. So the knob is in back. It's large enough to exert considerable force on the track, something Kreg obviously thought about because there is a cute little swivel that should help prevent marring the track it presses against. But the bolt is about an inch longer than necessary and the knob is four or five times larger than required for the 1/4 turn necessary to keep the stop from moving. I suppose that in most installations this is a non-issue: most fences have plenty of open room behind them. But my fence has a table behind it, with only 3/4 inch clearance for the track and stop fixtures. If I can't discover a reasonable work-around, I may have to abandon the production stop and order another flipstop (which isn't a bad idea after all). |

| After taking time to read these very helpful reviews I purchased this unit with the production stop, and it is absolutely amazing how easy it is to set-up and use. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for speed and precision. |

| Very accurrate system | 2008-12-07 | 5 / 5 |

I purchased this system a few months ago. It works exactly as advertised. This is a very accurate and precise system if set up properly. I set mine up with about 11 foot to the left of the saw and 10 foot to the right.
One complaint. The rails are not predrilled, they have little marks where you have to predrill them. I feel they could have already done that for the price of the aluminum tracks. |

| Timely delivery. This is a totally awesome piece of equiptment. I have a small work area, and built a compact miter center. This was suggested in an article on efficiency, and it works very well. |
