I worked with the sawstop a couple of years ago and I think its a great invention too!
It works really well for batch sawing and stuff, and it's fairly accurate too ( about 2 millimeter off on 3 meters)!

You mean 0.2 mm, right? 2 mm doesn't seem that accurate.

No Ken i really meant the 2 mil per 3 meters. But .66 mil every meter thats not that bad though?
I measured it myself with a stanley tape measure. I used the tigerstop when working for a company who made prefabricated roof panels, and there isnt a slight inaccuratie much of an issue.I guess there must be a way to fine-tune the tollerance of this piece of equipment though.

I wouldn't accept 2 mm off either. Saws can do a lot better.

I didn't want to drag this out originally, but after the last couple of posts, let me just say that I'm not sure if Rene talking about mils is using that as an abbreviated form of millimeters or he picked up a spec that said mils which technically refers to 1 mil = one thousandth of an inch, which is a lot less (0.001") and that equals 0.0254 mm.

Ether my English explanation isn't good or im getting stupid... Lol [big grin]
Maybe this one will do better:
If you want to cut a piece of wood 3000mm long, you type in 3000 in the tigerstop.
You cut your wood, take your tape measure and it says 3002mm... your off by 2 milimeter, am I right?!
That makes it .66 milimeter off every metre (2 milimeter divided by 3 metre).
And I really don't know if there is a way to calibrate the tigerstop...
(Although I can't imagine there isn't)
