I was just wondering what people thought of the latest one time tools from Woodpeckers. It seems a little more reasonably priced than some of their other tools. I am a relatively new hobbyist and have no had much use for complex angles. Most of what I've worked on has dealt with 90 degree cuts but hopefully expand my abilities and the complexities of my products in the near future.

Holes in fairly thick material… that is not going to be very precise. I think the Incra protractor and rules are superior and far better value:http://www.incra.com/measuring_marking.html

(I am in no way affiliated to the company or any of its vendors.)

I kinda thought people had typically moved on to digital protractors these days [blink]

Aside from the questionable utility of this, some of the engravings look kind of strange and uneven--the 60, 67.5, and 90 marks almost look hand-painted (as seen in the video from 1:50 to 1:59).  Maybe this was just a prototype?

Ill stick with the Incra layout tools.

Yeah another non-starter for me as well. I really think WP should install a voting system for their next one-time tool run. As there are things in their past catalog of OTTs that I would easily hand down readies for and (and with less grumbling) pay the huge shipping costs to AU.

Cheers.

One already exists...i think that's the reason we've seen some of these OTTools brought back from the grave.
