Why does dewalt make it so hard to find the right parts?
The Good:
It is made out of some pretty heavy metal stock, so it is deff not flimsy, and will hold up. The metal is also galvanized, so I am assuming it is steel, but what is good about this is that it should not corrode over time either. The measurements on the main post are pretty darn accurate too, as long as you know how to use the correct mark on the table of the saw depending on which side of the blade you want the measurement to be accurate on. I always do a small test, and measure and very seldom do I have to adjust it. There are a lot of other brand saws that also use the same dimensions for the main post, so I am sure this would work with other brands. I think it is the same as Porter Cable, I know it is wider than Makita, I do not know if the threaded knob that holds it in is the same though, but most saws come with that part anyway (most except for my DeWalt that is).
The Bad:
My only complaint about this item is the mounting screw. The knob is very small diameter, so it is kind of hard to get it finger tight. It does not have to be very tight to hold it in place, but this is a little bit of an annoyance. The knurled like edge is not very grippy either, so that adds to it. I would have preferred a larger diameter or some type of wing nut style handle. Overall though it is functional enough that I haven't sought out something else.
Overall though I am happy with this item, kind of a must have for a circular saw.
sent mine back as it would not work for me.

It is a good accessory to have as it reduces the need to use a table saw in many cases. Nice to get a perfectly straight cut.
