I just got the Exact 90 and it does exactly what they said it would which is why I purchased it and it does it all well. YES it's pricey but with the added "Flop Stop" it is a good tool when you need to make exact 90 cuts on wood that exceeds the distance from the edge of the blade to the edge of the table saw and that makes it worth the price for me. BY THE WAY, I also agree with the phrase on yoour shirt and praise God For it "By Faith Alone!"
Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad to hear that it is working out for you. I have used it a lot recently and have been very pleased with it. Soli Deo Gloria!
That's a good question. It is tricky for me to answer because of the price point for a tool that does just one thing. Although I think it does it quite well. I just check the Woodpeckers site and the price is actually reduced right now ($270 instead of $330). I bought mine at an introductory price that I don't remember right now. So, if the price isn't a problem and you need a solution that once calibrated you know will make accurate square cuts on your table saw, then I think this is a good option. I bought this because I thought it would be a good option for getting good square cross cuts on larger panels which is something I have struggled with in the past. However, since assembling and calibrating this, I haven't had any projects where I needed to use it so that also makes it a little difficult to be definitive about it. Sorry if I am being a little wishy washy, but it is a decent amount of money. Thanks for the comment, like, and subscription.
Did your Exact 90 not arrive perfectly square? WP claims that the gauge is meticulously adjusted square at the factory, and that they typically should not need user adjustment. Obviously, they do provide for calibration. Just curious, as I’m getting ready to buy one.
I'd say it was pretty accurate out of the box. My first test for square showed that it was out by 0.0008" per inch. That seems pretty good to me. I messed with it a few times to see if I could improve on that but to answer your question, it was "square" when I received it. I put that in quotes because in my experience, if you are able to measure to a sufficient level of precision, you'll discover that nothing is truly square. Or to put it another way, square is relative to what you are working on and for most any job that I would be working on, it was square enough on arrival. Hope that helps.
I don't get why ppl waste so much money on these tools. How much is one of these anyways? It's probably 500 quid or something like that. Woodpeckers are too expensive for what ur getting. U will never get a perfect 90/45 or whatever angles ur looking for. Ur working with a product in wood that will never be perfectly square. U can get within certain tolerances. These clowns selling these super expensive tools for saws, etc tell u it's a perfect 90 yet look at the trouble u went through and u could not get it perfectly square and this is their whole selling point. It's all nonsense and they know it yet they seem to still get ppl to buy into it. Look u earned ur own money so u have the right to spend it on whatever u like. That's not my business but I think it's hilarious that u had to buckle ur head by going through all this crap and u still didn't get the so called "Perfect" 90 or "Exact" 90. It's not what they sell it as. 330 dollars for that product. I don't get how ppl keep being duped by all these expensive products but u have it bro. Like I said It's ur money ur spending. It's not possible unless u get some kind of computer system working ur mitre cuts and 90 degrees like a CNC machine of some sort. I think woodworkers are being hoodwinked by all these companies. How many types of tools have u all bought over the years for the perfect straight cuts, 90's 45's, etc, etc, etc.. STOP LISTENING TO THESE FOOLS AT THESE BIG COMPANIES.. I get more and more wound up every time I see one of these videos from Woodpeckers or Incra or any of these systems that ae being sold today. I could say I'm turning into my father more and more but that's not a bad thing. My father was a smart man. He wasn't taken in by these companies claiming perfection. Sorry man but the video from woodpeckers that lead me to this from yourself wound me up no end. It's nothing to do with ur video man. Take care mate..
Thanks. I put one together yesterday, and see I made a mistake that you showed how to do correctly.
Wow. Thanks for the comment. It's good to know that my video helped.

Very nicely done video. Like & Subscribed. So...do you recommend this device?

Thanks for showing us your errors. It is nice to know that you are human and make common mistakes.
Yep. I make plenty. That's for sure. Thanks for the comment.
Based on my experience with Woodpeckers' regular miter gauge, I would never buy one. In fact I doubt I'll ever buy anything from Woodpeckers again.
Thanks for the feedback.
