🐎 Shinwa Japanese Aluminum Saddle Configuration Review

Distance markers appear precise and edges are smooth. The problem with this square is that the edges don't meet at 90 degrees. A square is not a square.

I didn't think I needed it until I got one on several woodworking YouTube channels and whenever I need it I'm grateful I bought it. It has its limitations due to its size and 45 degree side, but once you get a decent pass you can reach your square to finish the…
