I must say that Woodpeckers has some of the best, and most professorially designed and engineered, tools available today. I have a few. At age 81, with several cabinets full of tools collected from 3 generations, I am a little short on room. I do not do as much wood working as I used to but, I look forward to Jeff and the Wood Peckers deep dive. I have learned so many new techniques and short cuts from him that it inspires me to attempt new projects. I will say that Jeff is very professional PLUS he explains thing in a manor that he doesn't talk down to the experts yet conveys his messages in a way that the novice can easily understand and follow them. The first thing I do on Friday morning is look for, and watch, the Deep Dive. I have introduced a couple of my wood working friend, as well as a couple professional cabinet makers, who have purchased tools from watching Jeff and the Deep Dive. Please convey my thanks to Jeff and keep the Deep Dive going.

I never cease to be amazed at how much thought has gone into each of your tools. I also thoroughly enjoy the Deep Dive and other videos. Please don't ever feel discouraged by the haters. They have nothing else to do but whine.

Heck yeah man! I appreciate your company's devotion to precision and accuracy... and skookumness.

I just received my EXACT 90 . I haven’t put it together yet but I am enjoying these great videos.great information always . I have friend come by with his new square set from Woodpeckers, they were beautiful but I have no idea of cost until I asked . Wow I thought that’s a lot of money. I had never heard of woodpeckers, now I’m sold on their quality @nd attention to all the details .

I certainly hope Jeff Farris has some sort of ownership interest in the company, because if he doesn't, he should.
The level of knowledge, calmness and enthusiasm he brings to the table in his video presentations are unique in this day and age of online sales.
I watch these not only because I think the brand has much to offer, but also because I know I will be seeing a top notch presentation by Jeff.
Great stuff.

I'm going to save my pennies for this. It looks like a game changer for small projects and cabinetry for the hobbyist.

Great video with equally great information!! (As usual!) I'm 89 years old and Woodpeckers prices generally give me heartburn since I'm on fixed income. I've bitten the bullet, so to speak, several times and own some Woodpecker products that I'm happy with. However, my wood crafting abilities do not justify $330 dollars for this miter gauge.

Woodpeckers, The BEST tools on the market!!!

[heydoyourhomework]

Oh nuts. I gotta de-subscribe. Every deep dive I watch makes me want to buy one. This would be a nice complement to my Osborne EB-3.

[TreeOfLifeWoodworking]

So excited to get mine in the mail! I even ordered a Katz-Moses stop block for it

[tomreese]

I always say 'ouch' at the price, but I own an awful lot of your tools and never regret it every time I use them. That said, I have your miter sled on order which I think will be great. I have an Incra miter gauge I love and used on my Dad's old Craftsman table saw and made it a decent saw, especially once I added an Incra fence. I upgraded to a Grizzly saw last year and added a Jess-Em miter gauge which is great and both allows angled cuts and includes a return-to-90 lock. While I prefer my Jess-Em miter gauge, I sure look forward to getting your miter sled in a couple months! Thanks for great and ingenious tools!

Just got my Exact-90 installed. Love it! The quality is amazing.

Great Job Nicely Done Beautyful Craftsman Table Saw👍🏽

[jacklemley]

I would buy one of these in a heartbeat if Woodpeck would make a bar for the ShopSmith PowerPro table! They used to make SS miter bars.

[marvinwilliams]

I pre ordered one. I wish it didn't take till December to get it

[julu]

You guys make wonderful precision tools. I aspire to own few of them actually all of them

[briangivens]

Any plans for one to fit a shopsmith table saw.

[p.s]

Great vid and looking forward to picking up one of your mitre fences.

As John Barr points out in his on-point comment below "Excellent video as usual but I would have liked to have seen what we all do on the 5 cut method, that is measure the width of the cut off piece at each end and subtract the difference. That will really tell us the error (we can divide by 4 ourselves to make the video simpler) but I'm sure its near zero. Not really elaborate mathematics" - I agree - this simple subtraction method provides one with a quantifiable level of error which is then used to adjust the fence to bring it to square. The video above by Woodpecker Tools does not illustrate a measurable error, nor the actions required to bring it back to square. Further, the 5 cut method as described by William Ng uses the length between the pivot point and fence as a part of the final calculation which is ignored. If amyone has any ideas or suggestions on how to apply William Ng's method and corrective action to the Exact-90, I'd love to hear them. Thank you - looking forward to reading the feedback.

Pre-ordered mine as soon as it was shown after building my first project: a Miter Saw Station...and my Craftsman table saw just could NOT get a 90 degree angle. You can't go wrong with Woodpeckers. I am addicted to Woodpecker's high-end measuring tools!
