[@donmcleod8307]

Thanks. I just bought the same bits of kit too. Easy to use and cheaper than a woodpeckers or a table saw. And certainly easier to lug around to sites (I bought mine from AliExpress)

[@stefanjoyce2776]

Okay I've just ordered about £300 off of Banggood. Thanks buddy, you're a great resource, I appreciate the content.

[@thelondoncraftsmanworkshop]

Wow how amazing! Youre welcome! You wont regret the purchases... this track saw square and the parallel guides are still up there with my best buys!!! Cheers Ryan

[@whomadethatsaltysoup]

Cheers, Ryan, and thanks again for taking the time to share your experience with this excellent looking tool! Just ignore the trolls. Any suggestion that you are somehow trying to make cash out of flogging Banggood products, seems entirely misplaced. I've purchased many myself - only the parallel guides on your recommendation - and can say, almost without reservation, that I have no complaints. All the measuring and marking tools have been absolutely spot on and amazing for the asking price. I've only had one failure so far, and that was because I didn't do my homework. I bought the mitre guide for my table saw, and it doesn't fit. Alas, being the owner of the non-standard Evolution Rage 5s, the mitre slot is too shallow to play well with the guide. That said, I'm over the moon with all my other purchases, and will, on the strength of your demo' take a closer look at this adjustable square. Best of luck to you, and your business!👍

[@thelondoncraftsmanworkshop]

Thank you for the nice comments I really appreciate them. I really do love the Banggood tools, really well made and low cost. Cheers 👍👍

[@theofarmmanager267]

I would second this comment. Both in thanking Ryan for bringing to everyone’s notice Banggood and another appreciation of Banggood. I tipped my toe in the water several years ago after watching a video from Manor Wood. I got the measuring tools and tested each one excepting to keep this one; reject that one - but then and now, I haven’t had a single failure. One thought though, all the tools I have bought are branded Veiko; given that Banggood is effectively a retailer, I would urge caution on people who might buy tools other than Veiko. Ryan and I (from a response to a comment from me) have come under criticism for buying from China. I certainly despise all that the Chinese Government stand for -and I can’t imagine that Ryan is any different. Given that precision tools are made virtually 100% by CNC and the amount of labour involved is minimal, how can Veiko produce outstanding, accurate tools for a fraction that Woodpecker does? The answer, I believe is that they don’t. I would suggest that Veiko and Woodpecker (as an example) make a square for pretty much the same cost each. I would even say that shipping cost is not a great factor. That leaves 2 possible differences. Firstly, Veiko sell direct, albeit through the Banggood website; woodpecker sell to a retailer who puts on a mark up. Secondly, the profit margin that Veiko and Woodpecker want to make. It seems to me that the real reason for extra cost of Woodpecker over Veiko is that Woodpecker, who try and maintain themselves as a premier brand, do earn a larger margin and that the retailer Laos earns a good margin. To give an example, I was watching a YT video of a small company here in the UK making “premier brand” frying pans involving spinning the steel base and not pressing. The product looked fine to me but I couldn’t see why I would pay the £50 that they say that this particular size of frying pan could be bought for. Then the video switched to an office shop and there was the lady of the company talking on the phone and using the company’s price list. I freezes the shot and was able to see that, yes, they did recommend a sales price of £50 but the price at which they sell that same frying pan to a retailer is…….£15. Over 300% profit? That level might be the exception but it does illustrate that “premium brand” products can be money producing items for manufacturers and retailers. Going back to China, I would suggest you look up where DeWalt, Bosch, Makita etc. actually make their items. China is the common denominator although most also have factories in other lower cost countries. I think it’s only Festool and Mafell that make exclusively in Europe. So don’t think that your Bosch was made in Germany; your Makita in Japan or DeWalt in the USA. And, to mention Festool, I wonder how long they have been able to get away with requiring all retailers to sell their goods at the same price. That’s not only illegal in the UK, it’s also immoral to customers. But, “premium brand” again

[@georgemuff5482]

Thanks for reviewing this track saw square. I had this pop up on the Bangood app when I was checking out the parallel guides after your review of those. I was concerned about accuracy as there is no indication it can be adjusted. Even the Woodpeckers version does not indicate how to adjust it in the manual. Showing this ability on your review has me sold. I will be ordering one of these for sure! Thanks!

[@thelondoncraftsmanworkshop]

You're welcome I'm rally happy it's helping people 👍👍👍

[@duaynenaugle561]

I have one and find that there could be improvements with the indent lock. There should be a disengage button for angles that are just a bit off of 90 degrees or any other indent. Other than that it works very good.

[@metronyc2855]

Thanks much. Was somewhat suspicious but said well the heck. Works fine after minor adjustments. Bit the bullet though and purchased the WP Parallel guides.

[@thelondoncraftsmanworkshop]

Amazing!

[@wittworks]

Great vid. Just found you after this video was sending traffic to my latest video. Didn’t know banggood made a knockoff of that rail square. Noticed your tape on the track saw. I make a 3D printed plug for the same saw. 😉

[@randymatthews5263]

Thanks for the review, just bought one and waiting till I have a chance to use it.

[@thelondoncraftsmanworkshop]

That's great! You won't be disappointed. I love mine 👍👍

[@What_Other_Hobbies]

I like this, and almost bought it. Then the almighty youtube recommended me a video about Festool Angle Stop FS-WA, $175. It can pivot 60 degrees to either direction, and not much more expensive than this, currently $129.

[@donmcleod8307]

In Australia the anglestop is $300, about £170.

[@mdeflyer]

Nice adjustable bit of kit if you are doing a lot of angles. My guess would be that most of the time it’ll be locked at 90*. Shame it hasn’t got the tilt over lug on both sides so that you could use it to reference off the back edge as you can do with the Benchdogs version. Still at nearly half the price it’s fair. Pity you are getting your millimetres and degrees mixed up though. 0.1* is not the same as 0.1mm. The number of mm error will depend on the length of the cut.

[@georgemuff5482]

So, I picked one of these up. Unfortunately the tilt over lug on the back side of the square would be of no use. There is a rounded convex section in the red aluminum base supporting the rotating section. This will not allow it to be used as a square on the far side as the Benchdog and TSO squares are able. You can see this at the very start of the video where he carries the square upside down.

[@mdeflyer]

@@georgemuff5482 so have you changed your mind then?

[@georgemuff5482]

@@mdeflyer No, I have kept and so far really like the square. It is a little heavy, just over 4lb, but seems to function as it should. I was merely providing clarification to your comment about being able to have the tilt over lug on both sides and use on either end of the cut. The square is only designed for use at the near edge

[@smorgasbord42]

Just a note that the digital angle protractor used to check the cut at about 11:00 in probably has an accuracy of +/- 0.2 degrees at best, so the angle actually cut may be bang on.

[@thelondoncraftsmanworkshop]

Apologies KZbin blocked this message for some reason. Yep it was pretty bang on... Great track saw square and even better that it can be calibrated! ☺️👍

[@rickgledura3194]

For what it's worth it's an exact fit for the Powertech guide rails that you use with the wen plunge cut saw

[@streetkombativesystem4704]

Nice review mate, followed your review and purchased the parallel guides, luv em, will be buying this now too, cheers. Also, do you have links to the short guide rails that you got from bangoods, I have the Makita plunge saw too, would love to get some cheap shorties. And happy new year to you and yours!

[@thelondoncraftsmanworkshop]

Thank you, and yes the guides and square are probably my best buy! The guide rails are assembled in 300mm sections so you can have them as long as you want. Is that what you mean? Happy new year to you too 👍👍

[@streetkombativesystem4704]

@@thelondoncraftsmanworkshop Alright mate, no I was referring to the short track saw guide rails you mentioned in the vid that you got from bangoods. Cheers.

[@rickgledura3194]

Nice presentation do you buy any chance know if that will fit the tracks that come with the wen plunging track saw I believe their power Tec

[@thelondoncraftsmanworkshop]

Hi Thank you. Unfortunately I don't know that. I have only tried it with makita👍

Bought one! Hope it works for me!

[@thelondoncraftsmanworkshop]

Nice one, I'm sure it will. If its slightly out very easy to correct! It's a brilliant square!

[@csimet]

Amazon has the same "knock-off" available for about $100 USD. I may give it a try and if I can't get it to align properly, I'll just return it. Far less that the way overpriced Woodpecker version. Tx!

[@bos3259]

Here’s a thought. If a certain country goes calling on Taiwan, international trade will be disrupted for some years. If a certain country had intentions of calling then Taiwan, it would set up all sorts of attractive trade deals before such a visit was made, understanding that the deliveries would never be made.

[@joncarter3038]

Hi Ryan, you gave a name for the company you got your dust extraction hose from, but I don't seem to be able to hear it properly. Unless I've missed it, it also doesn't seem to be in your tool list either. I think it might be from CTS but could you confirm that for me please. Another good video with great information so thanks for that.

[@thelondoncraftsmanworkshop]

Hello mate your welcome. I do like the CTS hoses I like the quick release adaptors. I have just put a link in this vid description for you 😁😁😁 cheers ryan

[@mnovaes]

Do the parallel guides work together with this square?

[@roboboyo]

Hi mate, if my workpiece is not square can this tool correct it so my cut will be square at the cut edge?

Hello, yes this tool is what it does, give to perfect square cuts and also change the angle too

Thanks

That is very cheep!! This square is bloody amazing and ridiculous price too i think!!

[@hoxha34]

@@thelondoncraftsmanworkshop yes. I have been seldomly glancing to see what the price is. I have noticed some of these items drop in price the longer they are out. I also picked up the drill guide at a low price. since I'm just a hobbyist i can wait for the price to lower. I have the TSO square guide which I purchased a while back. This was less than half of that and more versatile.

[@thelondoncraftsmanworkshop]

@hoxha34 my 3 favourites for both quality of the tool and price are the track saw square, the parallel guides and the drill guide. Although all the aluminium stuff is amazing and pretty cheap for what it is, those are my favourites.
