Kreg KMS7801 Standard Swing Stop Review

I'm very happy with my Kreg track and stop system. Setting up your miter saw with stop system is mandatory in my opinion.The old tape measure/pencil mark/chase the mark and make a cut method is such a waste of time I'm amazed when I see builders doing it. Need 8 cripples at 33"? Set the stop and chop as fast as you can. And they come out perfect.
I've use the Beismeyer stops for 10 years and they work well. But they are so proud of their little stop which looks like it was made in a garage they think it's worth over $100. For that price I instead bought 2 4' kreg tracks and the flip stop.It works every bit as well was easier to set up.
So my advice--do not buy a miter saw with out also building a table, fence and kreg stop system.Sure it will take a couple hours and add $100, but it will be worth it.I'd rather have a cheaper miter saw than omit having a stop system. Any time you use a tape measure, you are wasting time.
-SteveMy only minor complaint is the flip stop has a tiny bit of play in it.We're talking a tiny little hair of play-Maybe .015 inch. So I have tightened the nut down and made it a non-fliping stop for fine cabinetry. For a constuction site and most projects, the flip stop would be the way to go, but I should have purchased the "production stop" to get the highest precision.

Accuracy is critical in the shop. Kregs new line of precision measuring accessories allow your machines to cut materials with more speed and repeatable precision than ever before. This Solid Flip Stop has a curved front design that lifts out of the way to bypass the stop for squaring an end or cutting to length without moving the stop.

Kreg KMS7800 Solid Production Stop Review

Kreg KMS7800 Solid Production Stop
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This has helped my business phenomenally! It is very quick and easy to use. There are a few improvements I'd have made. 1) the back of the stop isn't a straight vertical - it doesn't line up with the fence unless you angle your fence. Each one that I've purchased I've had to fabricate it to be flush with the fence. 2) the threads will strip eventually. They need to make the treading part a steel component or do something stronger on this. Don't overtighten! 3) this is more the fault of the actual track - the sections are 24" long but where you join the sections together your stop will stick on the joining of them seemingly no matter how well you mount them. It'd be nice if these were steel so you could weld them together and then grind it down. Overall, a great product and a time-saver for sure!

Kreg KMS7831 Perfect Miter Attachment for Kreg Flipstop and Solid Stop Review

Kreg KMS7831 Perfect Miter Attachment for Kreg Flipstop and Solid Stop

This miter stop works as it should but the quality of manufacturing is horrible. It is a casting and has a milled T slot running through it and it is not deburred anywhere . It is very very rough with heavy burrs inside the T slot and small burrs on the fingers. I am surprised that Kreg who is supposedly a presion tool manufacturer would let something like this go "maybe it was a Friday tool". Be prepared to finish this with a mill file and scraper if you get one like I did.
