I've noticed a trend at Woodcraft of diminishing selection as their
Festool stock rises.
I've been looking for a Bora MiterMaster...

They stopped carrying them, around the time Festool came out with

I have no doubt the Festool is a better product, however it would be
nice to still have the choice considering the Bora is 1/3 the price of
the Festool.

I would consider it coincidence if it weren't for the lot of other
branded tools that have suspiciously disappeared from the Woodcraft
shelves a short time after getting in bed with Festool.


If both prices were not true ( Bora: 59.90‚¬ y Festool: 160‚¬) they would
seem addressed to naive. people.

Look at (I'm sorry, but it is in French)

this angle measurer has the same functionality and it costs just 9.90‚¬.
You could even do it yourself, it's not necessary to feed the blood
suckers!!!

Good luck,

The tool you linked to isn't the same thing.
The two tools I showed automatically bisect the angle giving you an
adjustment point for the miter saw without having to measure it or
divide the full angle in half.
