Hi Jim:
Thank you so much for your answer.
I can't afford a 16" Power Saw so I was wondering if the Prazi could be a good choice for me because I have already a 7 1/2' Circular Saw ( worm)
I wanna be sure about the quality and efficiency of this product.

Hello Juan,
Even if you really have a sharp blade and it is in good balance, you will be challenged to make an accurate cut on the "score line" of your layout. You will, most likely, with this set up have to "hold off" the line by at least 10 mm (1/4"+)and chisel to the line. I would recommend a good hand saw over this attachment. We do have and use this tool, but it's scope is very limited in general application.
Regards,
jay

Thank you so much Jay!.
Juan Carlos.
the prazi is a crude machine. I was lent one once, and the blade was dull, we gave it back after a test cut. That said, it may be a better machine if it had a sharp blade. but yes, keeping back 1/4 inch is a good idea! not a precision machine!
I have one, but only use it for cutting insulated panels. As others have said, it is not a precision tool, but works great for cutting SIPS.
