Looks interesting. Do you think it's as good or better than the Incra miter gauge? The segment version seems worth the money to someone that does a lot of segmented turning or multi-sided frames, etc.

Both of the MiterSets work wonderfully well. 12 degree accuracy. one od the best buys I've ever made. Here's a post from a few years ago.

"Why 1/10 of a degree?

Doggonnit:confused: Maybe someone here can explain why it is necessary to measure angles in 10th of degrees???:confused: :confused:

I have had excellent experiences using only 1/2 degree increments. I use the "MiterPro" for all angles other than 45 degrees. The MiterPro is manufactured so we can set the miter gauge to the nearest 1/2 degree. Here is a post from 2009 where I made an 11 segment frame (just for kicks) using the MiterSet. Don't know what the angles are, but it fit together. http://www.shopsmith.net/forums/showpos ... ostcount=1
EDIT: Did the math - The angle is 32.7272727272... degrees.

O.K. - I hardly ever rip bevels or tilt the table, but isn't the need for accuracy the same for bevels as it is for miters?:confused:

In case you are interested - here is a link to MiterSet's web page. http://miterset.home.comcast.net/~miterset/index.html"
