@woodshopdiaries: My favorite way to shiplap is this cheat 😉 AD Adding “slats” is such a great, simple way to add detail to a project. But instead of having to buy and cut a bunch of individual pieces, I like to cut shallow kerfs in plywood. This gives the illusion of separate pieces, but the stability and efficiency of one. Extra tip: you can apply black stain to the grooves to make them really POP 😍 And my favorite way to cut them? The @Kreg Tool Rip Cut 🙌 This guide attaches right to my circular saw to make quick, accurate and consistent cuts on both big and small pieces. I’ve used this for bookcase backs, cabinet doors, hall trees, and more. What else would you add fake shiplap to? #kregjig #kregpartner #kregtool #woodworkinghack #woodworkingtips

I love my Kreg accu rip for breaking sheets down but not as much for precision. I use it to break it down and then the table saw for the tight work. But if you don’t have a table saw this would be a great alternate for sure! Like someone said above maybe it’s just my user error with the rip jig lol

I seriously cannot get this to work. I can’t even get straight cuts with this. I think the jig is so cheap and awful because the little things that hold it don’t do a good job. But I truly think it’s user error because so many ppl love this lol rip me

Put your saw on 45 degrees and then you have a v-groove

Omg, I was on my hands & knees with my 4 x 8 ft plywood in my front yard last week (propped it on 4 landscape border stones) and I was always about 1 tiny degree over or under cutting across and it drove me crazy! I'm sure this is what I need!!!

it looks like exactly what you did. ship lap has nothing to do with what you were going for. nickel gap? ship lap is a way to mold wood to install boards on a wall much easier than T&G. you can have a tight ship lap. no gap.

Or you could use a router with a groove cut bit

Looks like a decent rig but I'd be reluctant to start another line of li-ion batteries for a relatively limited selection of tools from Kreg. You know what I use for offset spacers to hold up a panel when cutting? ... Make some 1.5" cubes from a 2x4, and strategically place them under the panel.... they rarely even get cut. They all go in a small bag when not in use.
