Its magnetic base, backlight, and overall ease of use make it an indispensable addition to any toolbox. We highly recommend it for its quality and performance.

Good product, shipped quickly. The small size works very well for truing up table saw blades to the table. The magnetized base hangs onto the blade. Just zero out the gauge on the table, then hang the gauge on the blade, and dial in exactly the angle you want to cut. Can be any angle, not just 90 or 45 degrees, so if you want to make a pentagon, or hexagon, or octagon (or whatever) sided box, you're covered. The readout is clear, and reads in decimal degrees. I think the accuracy is +/-0.2 degrees, which is fine for woodworking, and better than trying to use a protractor or square. I always find the square approach problematic, since on most saw blades the carbide teeth are wider than the steel part of the blade. This gauge avoids fouling the carbide teeth of the blade, so you get an accurate blade angle reading. Cool tool!

I bought this product, because I have a really old table saw and it just has hash marks on the side to tell you your angle. There was no way I was trusting those hash marks. It turns our I was right not to, after using this device. The table was close, but I would have cut incorrect angles if I used those marks to set my angle. This device worked well, though. I cranked my blade out to get enough surface area without resting the edge on the teeth. That would have given an incorrect angle.Like I said, my table saw is old and wobbly, but that wasn't a big deal. I just let it find it's own low spot and zeroed the table to there. Then I put the device on the blade. They recommend setting the blade to 90deg off of the table saw, then putting it on the blade and zeroing it out again. I didn't do that. I just subtracted my 15deg bevel from 90deg. The reason is because my table saw wobbles when I'm adjusting it. By leaving it zeroed to the table, I could put the device on the blade, adjust it, then let it find it's center of balance, check that the table was still at zero(taring it if not) then returning it to the blade to make sure it was still 75deg, which is what I was shooting for.All of that sounds complicated, but it's not. This simple device allowed me to make my desired cut with rickety equipment, which is about all I have. Anyone who's cut with such tools knows what I'm talking about. It allowed me to easily make a cut that would have been almost impossible otherwise.This product is ideal for table saws and compound miter saws, but to be honest, I think you could even use it for a circular saw or jigsaw if you used the method above. The important thing is that during your final check, when you zero the base, you don't shift it when moving it from the base to the blade. This product is well worth the money, though.

Very accurate, well worth the price. This is a replacement for a similar model that I left the battery in for an extended time and it corroded and rendered the unit useless. Dumb! It's a well made and great.

I saw a device like this on some YouTube woodworker channel, and my jaw dropped. So easy.So I ordered one. So inexpensive.It arrived. So easy to use.(1) set it flat on your table saw, and hit "zero"(2) raise your saw blade, put its magnetic surface on the blade, and just dial in the angle you want.Reads to 0.1 degrees; I'm not sure what the accuracy is, but it must be in the neighborhood of 0.1 degrees.Highly recommended!!!!

Works greatI probably wouldn’t use it to build the Pyramids.

Simple, easy to use and accurate. What more could I want? What more can you want? Highly recommended

Works great and fast service.
