The Miter Saw can convert angles to a cutting path. It is perfect for transferring angles from a wall or work piece to your miter saw to recreate them in molding or something. If you want to calculate an angle and take this reading to do something else with it, (as many people believed it did), then this is not for you.
The locking mechanism works perfectly well, provided you use it as intended. From a lock standpoint, you don't need much at all. It is recommended that you don't apply any pressure to either of the wings after you have taken your measurements. Make sure it's locked and go to the saw, step it up against the fence and move the blade until it touches the yellow blade stop, then remove it, make your cut, and chuckle at how simple it Nothing fancy here, not even intended to give you your angle in degrees or hold you steady as you bob up and down with.
An aid to measure corners that were not square was required to install baseboards. Though the corners weren't too far off square, cutting them with a tool would be a bit more difficult. It looked like this tool would make life much easier, so I bought it in hopes it could make my job a little Taking a gamble was relatively reasonable for a tool of this kind. I have no complaints about the tool. It did what it was supposed to do For the price point, the construction of the building is decent. It is a tool that I would recommend.
This tool is a basic one that can be used in a variety of ways.
It doesn't have to be fancy or digital to do the job. I use it whenever I need to measure an angle quickly. I find myself using the tool frequently because it has a simple layout and fits its purpose well. I have it constantly out on my bench or in my hands. I can do crown moulding, baseboard or any outside corner that isn't a true 90 (I can also do inside corners).
There is a need for a redesign of the lock mechanism. options too tight so it will not hold against minor bumps or too loose so it will not hold against even minor bumps. If the lock mechanism had been constructed with another material or a different design, this would not have happened.
I love how logical and simple this is. So forgiving, yet so forgiving at the same time. Based on my experience, I used it for cutting baseboards and shoe molding as well. My perception of the house was that the corners didn't make sense as there were not many true 90° angles (either inside or outside) in the house. It appears, however, that all of them were 90° according to this handy little gadget. NOT AT ALL.
Waste of time. There is a 30 degree angle between each number. It is impossible to be accurate enough for crown or even base boards with a tool such as.
What makes it unique is that it acts as a traditional angle finder, but it does an even better job of bisecting the angle, allowing me to set my saw to the optimal angle for perfect cuts. I hope he had it patented.
A pro is I used it for a project I was working on. The con is This one turned out to be cheaper than the one I purchased previously.
