I bought this large speed angle just to align the fences with my table saw blade. I find 6 inches too small and this one is just perfect. I prefer 6 inches for joinery when using custom lumber and I'm sure it will be perfect for that too. It's easy and pretty accurate. Out of the box it's about as square as a workshop can measure with regular tools, so it's perfect for aligning my jigs with a good square on a table saw.
