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
this...

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.
Doesn't this tool at 5.97 do the same thing? plus side is no
heart attack if lost somewhere.

If you add an "extender" to it, I would more confidence with it. I
don't trust my ability to extend a 1" line to 24", accurately (try it
and see). Any error you make will be proportional to (i.e. multiplied
by) the number of inches you wish to extend the 1" line. Just ask Lew.
He's good with this stuff!
