A few products from this review were sent to me by Banggood for testing. This does not mean that I do get all my products. I review also a lot of products I bought myself. I started these reviews because from my experience not every tool from China was worth buying. So I wanted to make in-depth reviews to show you which products you should consider and which product you better leave alone. The fact that Banggood sent me products occasionally does not change the way I make my reviews.
I still give in-depth reviews and give you my honest opinion! On this, you can count on! I have a good experience with Banggood.com and they have a lot of woodworking tools nicely organized on their site.

Very well done sir-including excellent camera work! I appreciate you quantifying the Chinese tools for us scrubs! 👍🏽🤜🏽
I really love your channel, I’m not wealthy, and finding high quality low cost tools can be difficult. Thanks for the fantastic videos
It is so good to see this level of quality being made on a range of tools from china. Nothing stops this apart from customers willing to pay and manufacturers realising that the quality is worth the extra effort.
The “Wood Whisperer” did an in-depth review of miter gauges well known brands including JessEm and Harvey. From what I can see, the Hongdui is up at the top especially when considering the price even without a fence. Great Job Dennis!
Excellent review, thank you. I bought it after watching your video on the Banggood page and I have zero regrets. I've paired the deluxe flip stop with it and it's great, though I may end up swapping out the stop for a smaller one, as you need a fence around 7 inches longer than the length you need to cut, due to its size. Not idea, but the accuracy is very high. Cheers
The high quality you're addressing is evident in your videos! Very impressed! Well done! Thanks so much!
At the moment you have 428 thumbs up and only 1 thumbs down. That is practically unheard of. Congratulations, you deserve your high degree of approval.
Great review! Love your channel. Extremely informative, fair, and well balanced. Thank you Dennis for the way you make your videos and the info your getting out there.
if I owned a company you would be the man I want reviewing my products amazing job always fun to watch
Clear and informative Dennis - thank you!
Hello mate, I purchased the one you recommended on episode 11 & love it, it will last me for my woodworking life 🍻👍👍👍
I'm always looking forward to your videos. Keep up the fantastic work.
I really apprectiate the thought and consideration put into your reviews. It is easy to see that you do NOT take the opportunity to give your opinions and recommendations lightly. It means a lot to me, as I have limited money for tools. I hope tool manufacturers are paying attention and learning that they need to earn customers hard earned money.
Thank you for all the hard work you do and for sharing it with us.
I recommended the bangood miter gauge to my brother based on your review. He's quite happy with his purchase!
Hi Mark, Good to hear your brother is happy. I still believe it is a fantastic product.
The level of evaluation on these tools is impeccable. Thanks for your work. Now subscribed.
Thanks Robert, Glad to have you on board.
Another great review Dennis, your attention to detail is on Another level.
Dennis, as usual thank you for your well thought out review. I did order this miter gauge from Banggood and I am very pleased with it as per your review. You mentioned you were looking for a "matching" fence. Have you found one that you recommend from Banggood or elsewhere? Thanks. By the way I have ordered several other items from Banggood in the past year and find that your reviews match with my impressions. Thanks again for all of these reviews.
The film-like quality of your videos is outstanding! Thank you.
Honest and well presented review,as always. Not a lot of money for that kind of quality. You are the best reviewer I have watched,and trust you
Amazing review! Thank you so much for taking your time with doing all the research for the rest of us.
Like the video and the miter gauge. Here's to a new year and more reviews.
Great review! I do believe your review nails it that this is likely the best that money can buy, and at a cheaper price than others. In my case though, I’m going to go with that incra clone, the one that you have been using. It’s a lot cheaper, is very accurate (other reviews say same) and I don’t ever see myself needing to cut one degree resolution angles that also need to be super accurate. If I do, I’ll spring for this one. Also, one could reference up any needed angle with gauge blocks like you showed. So for the budge conscious, like me, I’ll go with the cheaper one, at least for now. But thanks for letting us know about this!
An excellent review mate. Hongdui seem to be making the effort not to be rubbish. That works for me.
Great review. Part of me wishes I had seen it before I purchased my Harvey MG. But, by the time I put a fence and micro adjustable stop block on it, it would have been close to the same price. (I got it at a big discount). So, only a small buyer's remorse. Thanks for the great reviews.
I am in the market for a quality miter gauge. I will now have to watch episode 11 to decide on which one I will purchase. As always, thank you so much for what you do. You make my purchase decisions extremely easy.
Excellent start to the year Dennis. Another informative review. Many Thanks 😊
Thanks Mike, good to hear from you again in 2021
Hey Hooked, I just discovered you, I wish you could be a bit more thorough… kidding brother. You are among the very best, DO NOT change a thing, keep it up, I’m on board my man.
Excellent review of this mitre gauge and the one in Episode 11. Both look excellent and I probably will buy one of them later this year! Thanks Dennis
As a Land Surveyor, I found the discussion of cumulative error in the 6-sided figure is interesting. Systematic error is cumulative (bad gauge setting), but random error (wobbly gauge) tends to compenensate for itself over many measurements. The +/- errors balance out, especially with more measurements. We experience this while surveying traverses around closed parcels and are trained to eliminate systematic error by reversing setups, taking multiple measurements, or finally removing the error mathmatically from the measurements because it can be well understood after a few observations. Reducing the dataset (or workpieces) to those only containing small random errors should be the outcome. In a woodworking practice these principles may be applied by flipping parts, alternating left and right cuts, and so on. Repeatability can be a liability in some cases.
I understand what you mean. And when you want attach something to each other straight. This flip over thing will work. But in case of a miter I do not think this will work.
Just another Good Bang from Dennis! Great as usual. Always learning. Tnx
Thanks for this review! It reflects exactly the same experience I made with this gauge. I bought short before Christmas last year (for just 90 Euros!), and I'm still impressed by the quality. It's like a red line through all products made by Hongdui (I have the other ones, too). So, thanks again and keep healthy!
-Frank
The Jessem locks by tightening the handle. The issue with having a tooth lock arises if the teeth break, damaged, or machined incorrectly. By going with a friction lock, they eliminate these issues.
Dude,, I just discovered your channel, your Awesome.. love your Review Style and the china tools episodes are really helpful for someone on a Budget,,👌👌👌
I have bought this one for 65$ on sale. I think this is the best product for this price
Dennis - just found your channel, and wanted to say thank you for the care and enthusiasm that you put in producing these videos.
Minor note: your English is excellent - not just in terms of fluency, but the technical terms as well, however RUclips thinks it's Dutch... so the subtitles are unusable. I think you should be able to set the language to English and let YT re-create the subtitles!
Thanks. The last two episodes I have with good subtitles. I figure out the best way. Tanks for your comment.
Great job Dennis! Keep up the good work, sir!
Dennis I received this table saw miter gauge today, it looks like guy jewelry and it was bang right out of the box, I bought because of your review, now we just need the fence to go with it.
I heard hangdui will come with a telescope fence soon!
Danke Dennis! Noch ein frohes neues Jahr und bleib gesund 👍
Dennis, great review as usually. Thanks for your great work.
Looks good, nice to see you in 2021.
Outstanding channel! Super informative! You've inspired me to get back to woodworking. Keep the video coming!
wow, Richard, thanks for your comments. Feels good to read! Dennis
@@HookedonWood You're welcome, sir. I spend at least 4hrs a day/7 days a week (wife hates it) researching tool review videos... and yours are, by far, the best online. They're consistent in quality, and you do follow-ups to previous reviews... a great display of integrity. Keep it up!
not in my league product, but like usual your review is top class and I learn so much, keep it up
Happy new year Dennis! Very nice review. Thank you!
Tanks Norbert. Same for you!
I've found your reviews valuable and liked this one. Two comments, though.
My first comment. While it is important to have a table saw blade parallel to the miter slots, that has nothing to do with the accuracy of the miters. Even if the blade were at a 45 degree angle to the slots, I believe you would still get an accurate angle. What would happen, though is that the cut wouldn't be clean. Shimming the fence to match the blade will make what would otherwise be an accurate cut have the wrong angle. Try it. Clamp a piece of wood with a dado to the table saw top at some angle to the blade. Put your miter gauge set at 90 degrees in the dado and make a cut. If the wood is angled towards the blade, it will grab as you get to the rear of the blade. If it is angled away from the blade you will still get a cut at the right angle.
My second comment. The reason to have half degree resolution is to be able to miter octagon frames. That requires a 22-1/2 degree cut. Octagon windows are not rare. You can even buy them at Home Depot.
I've started looking at your reviews before buying stuff from BangGood. Your doweling jig review was what convinced me to buy it.
Thanks,
Ken
Thanks for your information.
Awesome review! Thanks for putting this together.
Another Great review Dennis, Clear and informative as always , nice one, thank you ;)
Loved this review and product so much I bought it. Keep up the good work.
I think you will be very Happy with ti. I love it!
Great review, greetings from Portugal 🇵🇹
Another quality video and a fair review. I had an Incra 1000SE with my old table saw. It was a nice product with some glaring issues. If I still had that saw, I'd be on Banggood right now ordering a replacement.
I think you will like it. Thanks
Always interesting and educational videos, thank you.
That was EXCELLENT
Thank You !
Ziet er weer goed uit Dennis, dank voor je uitgebreide review
I enjoy your reviews...also enjoy your projects..
A review on a cheap chinese lift to integrate a standard router in a table ????
12 sided mitres are good for segmented wood turning, although you can build a jig with scraps to do that.
Thanks Dennis... appreciate your work. And I am looking forward to seeing your thoughts on a fence for this top mitre setup. I have a Woodfast 2600 sliding panel saw which of course has the larger slot for a mitre guage on the slider. I think I saw a comment by you about checking out the larger format. Would love to be able to adapt this particular device because of its accuracy or find that there is a bar that I could retrofit. Best wishes from Australia, Phillip
I have a fence currently, but although it works, it is not as special as this miter gauge. So, I want to see if there is a more innovative one. I will give a review on a short notice.
Another excellent video, thanks Dennis!
Dennis, Happy Née Year! I have been anxiously awaiting this vid, ever since seeing you Instagram post. I have a Shopsmith Mark V and the stock Shopsmith miter gauge is the exception to the garbage stock miter gauge rule, but for extreme accuracy it does require the use of a tool like the MiterSet. This one looks very interesting and it makes me wonder if I could retrofit the Shopsmith pistol grip hold down. I doubt it, but it is an interesting thought. Here’s hoping that you make 2021 your best year ever! Scott
I think it will be a challenge to get this shopsmith pistol on it. The shop smith miter gauges are smaller. No, I think it is too challenging.
Thanks Scott, you also all the best this year!
Love seeing these chinese tool videos, but I have to point out a couple things. First, regarding the Harvey miter gauge is that it is adjustable. If your saw blade is aligned properly with your miter slot, then there should be next to no adjustment necessary if the face of the gauge is perpendicular to the rail. Second, the plastic split washers have their own issues. They wear down over time and you have to replace them. Also, if you have a table saw that has seen a lot of use, there may not be enough adjustment with those washers to get a good enough fit in the slot for the guage to register properly. I have tried several miter guages that use these split washers for adjustment and none of them, even my incra, has as good of a fit as the miter guages that use the split bar design. Just another experienced based perspective, take it for what it's worth.
Hi Nunya, thanks for this information. It is always welcome, especially when based on experience. I agree with the right aligned saw blade. But still, I think it is very useful that you can align it. I agree that the advantage of the Harvey bar is that it will not wear out. But I do not find it a sophisticated way. Good to read the harvey is adjustable. I did not find any screws at that side which made this possible. Is it in the fence?
@@HookedonWood To align the fence you lock it at 0 degrees and loosen the 4 bolts across the top and adjust the fence to the blade using a square. The holes are oversized and allow for adjustment.
As a side note, I've also found that outside of the 0 and 45 degree stops, I never use the angle scale on the miter guages... any of them. I'm always using a bevel gauge to set the miter angle along with a couple test cuts.
I like the miter bars with spring-loaded plungers. The split ring adjusters aren’t all that great, especially if the miter slot isn’t perfectly even, like in a contractor saw.
Awesome review Denis, I just started to look for a miter gauge for this very purpose... so I’ll be buying on your review! Thank you 🙏
Lucky guy😀 😃
I was shocked when I looked at the Harvey miter gauge a month ago and it didn't have stops for every angle. I just assumed that high-end ones would!
Hi Dennis! Good to have you back in 2021! Many thanks for yet another thorough review. I’m not too much in need of a miter gauge but this video makes me look for an opportunity to get one! Keep up the good work,
__Frank
Bedankt Dennis! Ik hou echt van je video's! Ik ben nieuw op je kanaal en ik heb me erop geabonneerd. Ik zou heel graag ooit naar Nederland willen gaan. Mijn familie bouwt, restaureert en onderhoudt pijporgels. Deze tools die u bekritiseert, zijn nuttig voor het werk dat ik doe. Ik geniet van de recensies! Ga zo door!
Thanks David. Your welcome!
Thanks dennis the menace is good video is the best fence ever 👍👌👌👑
Love this series. Keep it up!
I'd like an accurate miter gauge, but ever since I've known about the MiterSet, I think I prefer the style of a setup block. It's essentially a flat piece of stock with a miter slot, and reamed holes for pins to set any miter gauge to a desired angle. The original MiterSet positions it's 'angles' by numbering the pin holes by polygon sides, and the original MiterSet allows for closed-loop miters of 4 to 20 sides, plus a 0 degree position. The nice thing about these kinds of setup blocks is that you can have one made, for relatively cheap, with any desired angles. For example, a 17 sided miter loop would have angles of 21.1764706, you're never going to find that resolution on any miter gauge, you'd be lucky to find a highly accurate tenth of a degree on an expensive miter gauge, and almost never a highly accurate hundredth of a degree on a miter gauge without paying a hefty price tag, yet modern CNC machining is easily within tolerance of a couple thousandths and the MiterSet is only 80 USD, which is an amazing value considering the accuracy it can give. I personally haven't seen China copy the MiterSet yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if a Chinese manufacturer has. MiterSet also has a standard version, but it's only limited to 10 miter positions per side, whereas the segment version has 17 positions per side, both for the same price. It's a precision tool that makes any unprecise miter gauge into a precise setup. Honestly, I'm surprised Woodpeckers or Incra, or similar companies, haven't copied this concept themselves.
Products like this make me wish bevel gauges were also a thing. Sure you can just tilt your blade, but you'll _never_ get any amount of precision out of it, even with magnetic angle blocks. I'd rather have a bevel set on a pushed fence/sled that has the accuracy of a miter gauge. Imagine trying to cut material for any complex polyhedron, basically anything other than a cube, mitered dihedral angles are near impossible without accurate setup blocks, precision you'd never get from miter gauges. The beauty of setup blocks is that they can be made to be highly accurate for a significant reduction in price, if not a decent fraction of the price when compared to a miter gauge of similar accuracy. Couple this with the fact that the mitered dihedral angle example requires a good amount of trigonometry just to find the angle needed, and further this by the fact that most sources for these angles use radians and not degrees, something most material workers won't be bothered with doing, millwrights are typically the only ones who actually deal with trig in the shop, when a setup block is a no-math solution with instant results.
Fantastic review. Very detailed. Thank you
Always appreciate your opinion Dennis = ) Hope that you and yours are safe and well, have a good 2021 ! MfG
Thanks John, Nice to hear from you again! And of course alle te best for you too
@@HookedonWood More than welcome Dennis, you put so much effort into the videos and reviews that they are an extension of your work and workshop excellence. Do you follow JSK Kobou ? Different from what you do but he has the same high standards.
Bedankt Dennis! Top zoals altijd!
Great video Dennis. I'm beginning to wonder if Rutlands in the UK are watching you - I keep seeing products you have reviewed here popping up on their website with their branding on. I wonder if this will be next!
Like that Video. All the best for 2021 !
I was on the fence with this one due to the cost for me, $230 Canadian, but the other mitre gauges from China weren't going to cut it for me so after watching this video and having this gauge tick all the boxes I went ahead and got it, just waiting for it to ship.
Looking forward to hear what you think about it. thanks Dennis
Hi Dennis, I always appreciate your reviews (and they have resulted in quite a few items ordered from Banggood..). I'd like to correct you on the reasoning about squaring the miter gauge to the saw blade though, as your line of thinking, can lead to dangerous results.
Saw blade should always be adjusted to be exactly parallell to the miter slot, as a first step, before anything else. Then fence, with possibly a very very small adjustment to the right in the back, away from the blade. Miter gauge then a perfect 90 to the miter slots. Or to the blade, should not matter since they should be perfectly parallell.
Consider a theorical badly adjusted blade, back end 1mm to the right. Rip fence parallell to miter slots. Make a rip, wood will bind at the back -> kickback! Might even burn a bit due to friction against the blade. Crosscut with perfectly 90 to the slot miter gauge, not a problem, wood will just be extra clear of blade in the back. Might even leave a better finish, since it will not touch the teeth in the back! If miter gauge is perfectly 90 degrees to the miter slot, cut will be exactly 90 degrees, that the blade is off does not matter!
Consider the other way, not adjusted blade, back end 1mm to the left. Perfect rip fence, parallell to miter slot. Ripping will work just fine. Might even leave better finish, no upstroke touch of teeth in the back. Crosscut with miter gauge - wood will experience a strong lifting effect when reaching the back upstroking teeth. Might even burn a bit due to to friction against blade just before that. Risk of kickback.
While 1) rip fence CAN be adjusted for a badly adjusted blade, rips will be fine, 2) miter fence can NOT be adjusted to fix this. It will follow the slot, however you adjust it. If blade is to the right in the back, probably ok. Miter gauge must still be 90 to the slot. If blade is to the left in the back, you're screwed. Strong uplifting force, possible burning, risk for kickback.
In short, the whole thinking of adjusting miter gauge to blade is just, sorry, wrong. It works for the rip fence, but not the miter gauge.
I had terrible problems with binding and high risk of kickback on my table saw before I understood this. My fence was a bit to the left in the back.. I think that the reasoning above should be some kind of ... mandatory thing to understand for everyone with a table saw. And if using miter slot to the right of the blade, checking that it's actually parallell to the primary miter slot is important. It's a little ”more” ok if both slots are away from the blade in the back (like a V), atleast if crosscutting thinner boards. But using a slot that goes towards the blade in the back (A-shape) is dangerous.
Hi Daniel, interesting story and you are right. I just have to absorb it a bit to find a right solution. Of course this problem only happens if your saw blade is not aligned with you slots. But people should be aware of the principles you described. Thanks for your post!
@@HookedonWood Thanks! It’s hard trying to correct someone, in text, not in my native tongue (Swedish), om the internet!, without sounding like knowitall/besserwisser. Seems I got close enough anyway. :)
No problem, After seeing some video's on your channel, I thought it would be better to agree with you😂😂😂
@@HookedonWood haha :) I have not seen a video that explain the risks clearly, for rips vs miter cutting on left side vs on right side with blade/rip fence/miter slots at a small angle error to left or right. Just mentions of one or two of the risks in videos about something else. If you manage to explain it clearly, I think that’s actually a video that’s missing from youtube. There’s a finite amount of combinations to describe, but maybe hard to do in a short informative video that people will watch.
@@DanielNilssonSe That is why I have to absorb your comments. I think I want to come back to it in my next China tool video. Have to figure out, how to explain. How to visualize that people get it! and what to do about it. In the end, I think the solution is to align your blade correctly to your slots. That solves the problems, and if that is not possible, there should be aware of this risk. You should think differently about the guidance of a rip fence and a crosscut fence that follows the slots of your table saw.
Brilliant well balanced presentation as always. As the Mitre gauge that came with my Laguna Fusion 3 is not very good I'll consider this one. I'll have to ad around 40euro's extra in DK VAT and tax fee's... Hope the planning of your new shop i progressing well :) Stay safe!
I expert the drawings in two weeks and then It is waiting for the permission (do not know if the is the right word for it)
@@HookedonWood Must be exiting - building permissions are required in most countries in the EU I expect :) Looking forward to more great videos and maybe yo'll tell about your plans also :)?
I lived in China for several years and sifting trough the bad to find the good was always the hardest. They have some companies that make really quality products easily compete with Woodpecker and other for affordable prices. Glad I found this channel.
Thanks Dennis, great review. 👍
I really like the idea of a screw mechanism to adjust the perpendicularity (I've always wanted a reason to use that word 😄) of a mitre gauge.
I have an Incra 3000. It's a great tool but the idea of having to adjust something into perpendicularity with a small mallet seems counter-intuitive. I had to readjust my Incra after resetting the sliding table and it took ages of back and forth and retesting. I guess I spent over three hours; getting close, adjusting, overshooting, adjusting back, overshooting, rinse, repeat... It was very frustrating for something that is an expensive tool.
Hi Mark, I agree with you.
That is a nightmare.
THANK YOU FOR ANOTHER OUTSTANDING VIDEO
Hongdui now has a fence for this.
It would be cool if u could do a review.
Thanks.
Yep, it is on its way to me :-)
Another awesome vid and very informative as usual. Thanks again for this series Denis. I wanted to follow up on the fence, if you had come across anything worthwhile in the meantime, and also get your impressions regarding this one vs. the "New" from ep.11 and if there is any concrete reason to go with this one instead of the cheaper New, aside from aesthetics. Thanks again and keep up the good work. Congrats on the 100k subscribers btw :)
This one has more fix stops. The WNEW is hard to set on specific angles where there is no fix stop. But, I like to work with the WNEW as well. It is lightweight, but sturdy and looks also nice. I heard Hongdui comes with a telescope fence soon. I have an alternative but I find it a bit expansive. I want to wait for the Hooguit fence to make a review on the Fence.
@@HookedonWood Awsome, thanks so much for taking the time to answer. Hongdui definetley seems like the way to go. Let's hope they release it soon and send one to you imediately :) I can't wait to see your review. Thanks again Denis, take care.
Thanks for your great video about this product. Can you advise a fence already to combine with this miter gauge?
Only 19mm bar? Nice improvement, provide smaller one.
Thanks for the review.
I was happy i found some one that uses millimeters instead of inches, but the use of inches and mm together makes it a bit confusing as well as the dollars instead of euros. A shame,
Hi Dennis! I have got the incra 100hd miter. A very good and precise miter gauge. But: I‘m now with the third! degreescale, because the teeth are deforming when you do not be verrrrry careful. And everytimes with 0 and 1 degree! 😤 Thats why my first look was at the covered teeth of the scale.
But with china tools: I got the heathgauge you recomended last week. Ok, it took about two moth to get delivered, no problem, but: I had to pay another 20€ of toll and fees, so in the end ist was a little more expensive than the same heath gauges at amazon. Not that I am a big friend of the american big players. But that are my last personal experience. I ordered also some other tool, some you recomended, others you didn‘t. My overall decision is to have a good look at your perfect and well made videos but also check if there aren‘t any other souces to get them, especial when they are of the same build.
Best regards!
Hi Jorg, Sorry to hear that. Till know, I only ones have to pay duty fees. It does not matter, how much I order, or how expansive. It is always duty free. I also do not hear many talking about duty costs. Because of course that would increase the cost.
I can understand you. Dennis
Wow, I really enjoyed this episode. As always a great video. Thank you Dennis.
Very nice videos peter, instant fan. I was wondering if you also review tools from aliexpress. They have some really interesting hand planes that have an interestiglng price
❤️ you’re reviews great work 👍
That was a very interesting, comprehensive and convincing review. I have been looking for a decent mitre gauge for some while, so have now just ordered one at a very good price of £111 from Banggood. Have you found a fence yet that you can recommend to go with it?
Great review Dennis! Nice and detailed (as always). When I have my new workbench ready, I'll definitely check this one out! Thanks! A couple of videos ago you talked about a new shop build. Will this become a reality? And will you be documenting the thought and building process?
Hi Nils, yes, that will be a reality. I am looking at ways how to make a serie to inform those who like it, in this process. Maybe on RUclips, ore instagram. How would you like it to see? what would you like to know about this proces? You would help me with some input.
@@HookedonWood I'm thinking build-progress videos of the building itself, old vs new layout or design choices. Things you will do differently because you have the chance to do it right for the purpose made building?
Maybe a video in Sketchup (or whatever) explaining the new layout of your new shop and your thought process behind it? Could be the viewers have fresh input or tips on how you can improve your design.
Great review. What fence did u use on your video with this miter?
I purchased the Hongdui Miter Guage after watching your review and I must tell you when I opened the box it looked like a excellent tool. But once I unpacked it and checked the accuracy I soon extremely disappointed. At zero degrees it was out 1/8 of an inch in 6 inches. I had to set it at 1 degree to get close to being square. Worse then that when I checked the 45 degree I actually had to set it in the opposite direction at 44 degrees. Hopefully this is a one off issue but makes me wonder if Hongdui can be trusted on their quality control. Still waiting to hear from Banggood so we will see what they say. Thoroughly enjoy your shows though!
Is you miter slot accurately set parallel to your blade? If so, you can permanently adjust the angle with the Allen wrench. Also you might want to check both of the angle adjustments are both set flush with the base before the initial set up. Either way you can definitely dial this in perfect and have the dial to reflect that accuracy.
I love the cyclops lens.
Fantastic review, dude! Looks like a fantastic product indeed! 😃
What about the other one you showed? It's a new version of what you reviewed in episode 11, right? Do you give it the same score?
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
No, it is the same as in episode 11!
@@HookedonWood Nice, thank you! 😊
Hey Dennis how about a review on the machinist 90 degree square 125mm x 80mm? Looking for good squares without the woodpecker price. Had a marathon watch of all 18 episodes the last two nights 👍🇨🇦
Wow, what a evening 😀 😃 😄. The machinist square from episode 7 is too small? I did not check others. Sorry
@@HookedonWood well how did I manage to watch 18 episodes and miss number 7? Guess I was having too much fun. Thanks Dennis I’m going back to watch it now.
There is some good stuff out of China these days. ( I have direct experience with them not doing so well in the aviation world). The problem with Bangood is shipping. I ordered some of the things you recommended on December 12th and they are on the "slow boat from China" and due to arrive sometime in February. Two to three months is just not good enough.
Yep, that’s the problem. If you meed it now, it’s ‚no bueno‘ to order from Banggood. I don’t care if it’d save me $10 if it doesn’t arrive later than two two weeks. We are indeed spoiled by Amazon.
I do not know what the shipping times are to the different countries. In The Netherlands and Europe, it takes about 2-3 weeks on average.
Dennis....what fences are you using on the mitre gauges? I didn't see the links to them.
Of course, by the time I got to the Banggood site the price was $169. Typical of most of the prices you give - through no fault of yours. I suppose they do that whenever your reviews come out. I agree with your evaluations though I will never be able to afford such fine tools.
Hi, I bought this Hongdui miter gague. Thanks to your review. Can you recommend any fence for this?
Keep up the great work :)
Maybe nice if you some day do some reviews about the new SKIL 20v series.
Thanks Dennis.
Beautiful tool, no doubt! Works as you'd expect considering it's price tag- Top Notch 👌 Added bonus - appearance design and build material match it's functionality - again TOP NOTCH!
Appreciate you very much my friend! Thanks for the constant impeccable delivery and content quality each and every time!
Hey- Your uploads are just like the miter guage in the review... TOP NOTCH 👌 👍 🏆
Thanks again Eric!
