EZSMART and left hand blade saw

[Jim McCarty]

Does anyone know if the ezsmart guide will work with a worm drive skillsaw with a left hand blade? All the pictures show a right hand blade saw. I have 4 worm drives and don't need to buy a new saw. Right now when I'm in the field and need to make a VERY straight cut I just use a 2 layer straight edge made from 2 pieces of 1/4" temp. masonite ( 1 is narrower than the other and the saw kerf is the actual edge of the cut so no measuring is needed to allow for the blade offset).

Hi Jim.
The Ez smart works with Left and right bladed saws.
We just don't recommend the left bladed saws to new woodworkers and DIY's.
But for someone who has master the warm drives (4?)
is better to stay with them.
This is our first base (a modified right base)

The only benefit that you lose is the anti chip protection off the guide rail.
With the guide rail you have anti chip protection on both sides of the blade.
it will be available for purchase by Monday.
Thanks.
