I bought one of these a couple of months ago

I thought at first it might be a bit gimmicky but found i use it all the time on the planer for 90 degree edging. I havent had any out of square components since i started using it. It is also usefull on the spindle moulder as well. Unfortunately i have an aluminum sliding table on my saw which it doesnt stick too.

Interesting . Does it work in anger and whats the costs ?

[jonnyd]

It works well I have used it extensively for a couple of months now and it stays put at a flick of the switch and nothing has broken so build quality is good. Axminster sell them for £28 ish or you can buy a more heavy duty version for more money. Its also hard to loose as it sticks to the machine when not in use.

Sounds good to me but i bet i can break it ;D

[jonnyd]

I was worried about breaking it but havent managed it yet ;D even if i do manage to break it i would buy another one.

Yeah but finding the two parts after i have launched them is always a major problem .
