| Good, but at a price |
| Definitely a major time-saver - without this (and it's requisite partner, the DW7050), the process of duplicating cuts would be much more time-consuming. Not the best design (it's a lot of guesstimations if you're cutting a longer piece than the base of the saw - causing you to have to measure with one hand, support the stop with one hand, and tighten it up with your other hand). If this had some sort of fine-adjustment mechanism to get past the need for three hands in such cases it would be perfect (and then actually worth the cost of having to buy both the DW7050 and the DW7051) |

| Expensive, but useful |
| Considering what you get, this kit is expensive. Still, I don't know where I could get the same sort of thing elsewhere. I think the price of DW7050 is probably about right if DW7051 and DW7050 were sold together as one single kit. I won't go so far as to tell you not to buy this, because it's useful. Just be aware that if your do, your paying a premium to DeWalt! One thing to note. Pay close attention to how you put it together. The way you do so depends on whether or not you are putting it on the right or on the left side of your saw. |
