Found this article in a special catalog for model builders. I assumed it was new. I bought it to either use my mini miter saw (which I already have) or to buy a new accessory to cut the strips. As for me, I assumed both options were limited in their use. With a tiny "T" I now wonder how I ever completed anything without it! For accuracies up to 1/64 inch this is definitely a must. This is a high quality stainless steel, truly square with accurate and precise marking guides. The holes are tiny: I thought I'd need a special pencil, but the slate pencil I already had would work just fine. For any aspiring modeler, Tiny "T" will eliminate many of the frustrations that arise when parts don't fit together and all those hours of hard work result in a crude end product. For intermediate level, Tiny "T" will increase your accuracy and help you achieve the goal of realism. I truly believe that every advanced level has this tool in their special recipe for success. If I could give MORE THAN 5 stars for accuracy and ease of reading and use, I would. This tool is a game changer, seriously.
