Great Quality Safe Buy for Dovetail Marking

I received this product for review. It's durable and very well made, but there are a few things I'd like to do a little differently. The dovetail marking is great, but I wish the orange stripe on the back only came as far as where the dovetail meets the top of the material. If the bar sticks out further, it will be difficult to line up the mark on the end of the board when the ends are unfolded. The label template is great! It's a good weight and the dimensions are clearly marked. My third photo shows the one I'm currently using and the markings are harder to see. Also, my current one is a bit shorter as well, but the round portion of the gold fence is a bit taller, which I would prefer on this new one. Overall the quality is excellent and I plan to replace my current rig in the future.

Pros
  • Dovetail Marking Attachment: Precisely marked with bevel for softwood and hardwood, Accurate dovetail marking, suitable for softwood, hardwood and other woods, this dovetail marking template is a useful marking aid.
Cons
  • Expensive
