Cheap MasterGage SB-1 SuperBar, Part # 400-01 Review
Other reviewers have already noted the inaccuracy and other flaws of this plastic gizmo. Don't waste your money. You can get the "real-deal" for only three-dollars more.
TS aligner Jr "lite" is only three-bucks more, is precision-ground from stable aluminum, (not plastic) and is easier to use.
It does everything this gadget can, and then some.
The TS Aligner is VERY accurate.
If you decide you want the advanced features of the higher-priced TS aligners, you can upgrade without buying an entire new unit. There ARE NO upgrades to this thing.
The TS Aligner is MADE IN THE USA by a real machinist.
TS Aligners have free videos that shows you how to use these tools. The videos are dry, but have good photography, close ups and clear explanations. The instructional videos ALONE are worth the price!
We got fast personal service and sound advice from the Ed Bennet, the owner of the company. Visit his site for a truckload of valuable info Ed provides for free. He gives you choices for different indicators, angle-blocks and models so you can choose the best tool for your needs and budget.
You can find more info at [...] or search "Tablesaw alignment, Ed Bennet".
I can't say enough good things about his products, service or business philosophy. He is very knowledgeable and helpful. Considering the quality, the storehouse of information, the free videos and personal service from this American manufacturer, plastic imported stuff just can't compete... it's no contest.
Don't just trust my opinion. Read the reviews then go Check it out for yourself... "table saw alignment" and "Ed Bennet"
