New Woodpeckers Adjustable Track Square

[infer]

If you have one minute time to spend and align the track the EQUERRE EQUETRACK for 46 Euro works great and also allows repeatable width cuts with just a flag stop and an aluminum extrusion. I have no affiliation with the french shop bit I find the tool to work great and extremely cheap for what you can do with it.

This looks like a great tool.  I would however like to see optional mounting holes for mounting other edge guides and  MFT/3 hinge plate mounting holes like the TSO squares have incorporated.

Shame it isn't shipping until 09/30.

The long delay is part of WP's business model, I was told. They would release a promo video, start taking orders and wait for a period of time before going into production. This way, they can keep "unsold" quantity to a minimum as well as gauge the market demand.

Hmm... Doesn't seem a whole lot different than their OTT runs.

Just my [2cents] - I have the TSO version and for me the #1 most important thing about using it is I never have to stop and check, or even wonder, whether it is square. Slap it on and cut, take it off and move on.

Not saying that won't be the case with the WP version, & for others it might be important to have the ability to set angled cuts, it's just not something that is important in my workflow.

Im with Richard on this. No need to calibrate I know its square. Same if I attach it to use the MFT guide rail mount.

I dont do a lot of angle cuts so that ability isnt all that important to me

I'd rather have it be known square. Even though I probably cut more angled stuff than others, it's still 99% square cuts. The angled cuts are likely 80% from a bevel/transfer gauge as I'm needing to match something. The other 20% of the time, it's a computed angle that needs to be set more accurately than that gauge would allow.

The times I've needed a specific angle, I put the AngleMaster Pro (AMP) against a column of dogs, put a fence board against the other side of the AMP, then clamped it in place to be a fence for the boards. Works very well. Admittedly, the AMP is more expensive than any of these options, but any triangle gauge that can set your angle accurately can be used the same way.
