I have found that there are multiple ways that the cut can get messed up: I have to say the Kreg Accu-Cut system is pretty neat. There are a lot of times I try and free cut along a line. Sometimes it comes out straight, other times it looks pretty bad. The times where I really need to make sure the line is straight, I always set up a straight line.
