Woodpeckers One Time Tool - Bevel Gauges

I agree they seem to be coming out more often.
Interesting how these things go. Lots of people complained about the Bar gauge set. I actually liked it and ordered a short set-up. On the other hand, even though I use a bevel gauge all the time (gotta have a bevel gauge) I won't be ordering this tool. Just seems to expensive, overblown and the plate thing seems dumb to me. I'm transferring the bevel to my saw, whichever it may be. Why I would need a fancy plate escapes me.
Not complaining, just commenting.

Personally I'll pass again.  But I do find a reference plate handy.  I had one for years and it finally disappeared temporarily in my trailer.  If it doesn't show up soon I will buy the one that Lee Valley sells.  That way I can get it sooner than November.  Here is a link to that one:  http://www.leevalley.com/US/wood/page.aspx?p=52403&cat=1,42936,50298,52403

Holzhacker,

I use the plate to determine the exact angle I have so that I can divide it when mitering trim etc. on my compound miter saw.

While I own and really use many Incra and Woodpecker products, Woodpecker seems to be trying to reproduce many products already available in similar quality but about half the price - I am referring to Lee Valley products. I love high quality tools but the prices recently just seem to be double what they should be - IMHO. I have purchased a few of the one-time offerings but lately they just seem to be extraordinarily high priced. Yes they make very nice tools and I am not criticizing the quality at all - just the value.

I thought the same thing when I received their latest email.

I have and use a lot of bevel gauges.  Still love the one-handed operation of the Veritas model: http://www.leevalley.com/US/wood/page.aspx?p=32593&cat=1,42936,50298,43508

I ordered one, the 7" and 12" models plus the plate. Though I dont use bevel gauges all that much. But i dont own a decent one.

I figured if I got a good one then i use it.
