REEKON M1 Caliber Measuring Tool for Miter Saws – Eliminates Need to Measure & Mark Materials, Reduces Cut Time and Increases Safety, Measures Flat & Round Materials

Value for money:We were genuinely surprised by how well-made this caliber measuring tool is! My husband, who’s pretty particular about his tools, was really impressed the moment he held it. The build feels solid and durable, and the measurements are incredibly accurate – no fuss, no guesswork. It’s easy to use, even for someone who isn’t a pro, and the display makes reading measurements a breeze. We’ve used it for a few projects now and it hasn’t disappointed once. Definitely a great buy for the price – highly recommend it to anyone who needs a reliable measuring tool

Once set up properly, it reads within a 32th consistently. It was kind of a pain to set up but a couple of YouTube videos and all was fine. It's a little better than a stop block since you can repeat cuts alot longer than your miter saw fence (unless you have a permanent large built-in base).

To the fellow with the video and one star review, the footage shows that he clearly didn't set his blade width before using it, as the display goes to zero when he resets it, so cuts will always be ~1/8" too short. Since you zero the scale when lining your board up against the waste side of the blade, you have follow the instructions and enter a blade width (typically 1/8") to account for the kerf when you make cuts.Beyond that, it seems to be well designed and much more solidly constructed than I was expecting. My only wish is that they had figured out more mounting options, as the adapter board for saws with short fences is expensive for what it is.

This works well. It measures things correctly and helps make daily projects easier.

I bought this and I love it! Best investment I have ever made! Makes things a lot easier and faster!

I really wanted this tool to work. It looked as if it would suit my needs but immediately after unpacking and installing, I ran into problems. The included directions are not accurate so I went to the website. Finally after watching a couple Youtube videos, I got it working; however, this was short lived. As soon as I turned it off and back on, the blade thickness which I just stored wasn't saved. I repeated the process as in the directions and the video. Still no luck. I tried it on a few short (less than 24") pieces and it worked well. The next piece was 52" long; it was off more than 1/4". Being relatively unfamiliar with the device, I ruled out user error and carefully repeated the instructions and steps several times making sure I followed each step. I had another employee try their hand. Still off. Very sad. I had to return the device for a refund. It is a good idea but good ideas don't make up for poor accuracy.

Muy facil de usar, se calibra facilmente y tiene muy buena presicion en cortes repetitivos

I was attempting to trim 3/8" off the end of a board and after 4 attempts, I got a piece that measured 3/8". Two of the pieces were narrower and the other was wider. It wasn't off by much, but it was off. Here's the issue when trying to cut such a short piece...there are multiple ways to get to 3/8".Method #1 -- slowly slide your stock under the wheel until the readout says 3/8". Stop there and cut.Method #2 -- slowly slide your stock under the wheel until you are past 3/8", then slowly slide your stock back until the readout says 3/8". Stop there and cut.Method #3 -- slide your stock back and forth while the readout is showing 3/8". Work back and forth until you feel your midway. Stop there and cut.Each approach gives you a different result. When I did get 3/8", I couldn't tell you which method it was, but it was #2 or #3.Two more issues:1. The device also slips off my fence quite easily, but maybe that's my miter saw.2. I originally set my blade kerf to 1/8". After getting some off cuts, I tried to change it to what I actually measured it as - 7/64". I went through the blAde configuration, rolled the wheel, stopped on 7/64", and pressed the zero button. The display goes back to saying 1/8". When I go into the configuration, it still says 7/64". So even though I am setting the blade kerf to 7/64", the offset being used when I zero my stock is 1/8". I have no idea which number is actually being used, but this inconsistency doesn't help with accuracy.I have gone back and tried this a few times, but I end up back using a tape measure.Too late to return it now.
