Great tool
I used the included screws with some large washers to hold my blank. This thing works great.

More like a kit…
After I took it apart, drilled and tapped some additional holes, filed out the adjustment slot so that it didn’t rub, and tapered the ends a bit, I ended up with a pretty decent knife jig. OH…added a pair of handles. But for the cost I could not have bought the aluminum plates and made my own from scratch and saved any money. Also, the holes that it came with were not all the same size, and don’t understand why. So I drilled them out and re-tapped so that all were the same size. Don’t expect to do much with this jig right out of the box!

Very impressed!
I put this knife jig to work within minutes of opening the shipping box, the machining of this tool is top notch and it worked perfectly. The photos on Amazon don’t really illustrate how solidly it’s built, it also has an acrylic base which not only protected my equipment, but made the jig glide with ease.

Very basic, it does work as intended.
If they want to improve this, they could put on a bevel Guage. Just some angle marks would help. Also, handles would be a big improvement.

Can’t go wrong at this price
When the tool arrived the plastic glide piece was knocked free, I’m guessing from shipping. I immediately messaged the seller, they were very apologetic and offered a substantial partial refund and advise about repairing the glide. A few strokes from a razor blade scraper and some drops of super glue is all it took to repair, very simple. If your doing the type of activities that require this tool then the fix should be a walk in the park. I then hammered out a blade and tried it out. Result were perfect and easy. I’m giving this thing five stars because the next cheapest angle jig is about twice the cost and this one works great and customer service was on the ball.

No carbide surface. Does nothing to hold blade clamps parallel.
What do I like? Nothing. I would not recommend this product to anyone. A file guide has a third block to keep everything, including the blade in place. There is no third piece or parallel dowels to prevent uneven clamping to the blade.There is no, none, zero carbide surface. The thought of anyone getting ripped off makes me sad. Please search for a real option. This is not an option.I have only caked the hardness with an old file. It cut right into the metal. I will do a Rockwell test and add it to the review.

No instructions with device.
Pretty well made but no paperwork or instructions included. Little better than my homemade one.

Simple, well built does exactly what it is supposed to do.

Buena relación precio calidad, está muy sencillo pero es sólido y bien construido. Funciona bien si tienes un medidor de ángulos. Por este precio no encontrarás algo mejor.
