Kapex and extentions

[DANIELKARL]

I have a question about the kapex extensions.
I am sure that the stops are accurate at 90/ 0 degrees
But is it accurate at an angle?
If I cut a angle will the measurement still be accurate either at the toe or the heal of the miter?
If anyone knows from experience I would love to hear from them, prices are going up and I would love to spend some money this leap year
Thanks, Dan

I have the UG extensions. I calibrated the extensions/scale to measure and cut at 0 degrees. When I cut on 45 degrees the cut is approx 1 mm shorter then the scale. This is a nothing to do with the extensions however. My Kapex just cuts 1mm closer on the 45. I would have preferred it to be more precise obviously but I can adjust on the fly. I've never had another miter saw with a scale before so I didn't have any expectation that the miter geometry would be accurate below 1 mm.
