Pairs well with
Blade
24-tooth framing blade (match your saw's size & arbor)
The everyday blade for 2x4s and deck boards: fast, forgiving cuts.
Check price →Blade
40–60 tooth fine-finish / plywood blade
More teeth = cleaner edges and less splintering on plywood and shelving.
Check price →Guide
Kreg Accu-Cut or Rip-Cut style saw guide
A straight edge you clamp down makes perfectly straight cuts much easier — huge confidence boost.
Check price →Support
Folding sawhorses + a sheet of foam board
Support the board on both sides of the cut so it doesn't pinch the blade.
Check price →Safety
Safety glasses (ANSI Z87.1) & ear protection
Saw manuals call for eye protection; cordless saws are loud (DeWalt declares 91 dB(A) for its compact saw).
Check price →Clamps
A pair of quick-grip bar clamps
Hold the workpiece and the guide so both hands stay on the saw.
