Review on POWERTEC 71035 Table Saw Tapered Cuts Jig - 24-Inch Aluminum Rails, Laser Etched Scale, 15° Angle Cutting by Jesse Francilme

TLDR: This device is suitable where its limitations are known. It's probably worth buying a better device. The initial installation of the device is easy. A few screws and bolts and you can start bevel cutting. Its maximum angle is about 15 degrees, which can be determined using the scale attached to the device. The scale is difficult to assemble and adjustable for some reason. An adjustable scale may be useful, but the device must be opened to hold the bolts to attach the gauge plate. Of course, this makes it difficult to "zero" the scales. With degrees per tick, even a slight movement is enough to make the measurement inaccurate. Mechanical Problems The first problem I encountered was cutting wood less than 3 inches thick. My table saw has an impact protection device and a blade guard. A lever spanning the two sections of the fixture projects outward and prevents the fixture from pushing the workpiece through the entire cut. The easiest way to fix this is to use a fairly wide wood, but this limits the usefulness of the jig Accuracy The accuracy of the jig moves rather poorly or doesn't compensate properly when the adjustment screws are tightened. th piece as I adjusted by aligning the top and bottom marks on the board. Initially I tried to measure from the stop, but the fixture is too bulky and observation from above did not give the required accuracy, the measurement was too far from the part.
