Hello everyone.
I have been lurking around this forum for about a year now.
Early on, I read a post about the EZ Smart Gide CS system and ended up buing it with excellent results. Well, last weekend, I had to go to a wedding in New Jersey and took the opportunity to visit the EurekaZone factory in Edison. I got to meet Dino and to see the prototype of the Repeater. I had been reading about this accessory and had visited the EZ web site for more info but really could not figure it out.
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p> </o:p>
The prototype was slick. It was well made (sturdy) and was easy to figure out how it functioned (even an accountant could figure out how to use it with minimal effort). Essentially the new Repeater is a clamping system that will attach to the bottom of the EZ Guide and will support a measured rail that is used to set the desired width of cut. Different rail lengths will provide the necessary flexibility to accommodate narrow to very wide repeated cuts. The Repeater is easily “zeroed” for square and to the CS blade. I also saw some novel uses of the EZ Guide in a vertical orientation to use for mortising tasks. All in all, the on-site demo really explained a lot.

Thans to everone for all of the good tips and commenst I have read about here at Sawmill Creek.
