I've had a few weeks to use this wonderful tool. I purchased it at Rockler and I've been so impressed with how easy to use it is and how accurate it is. I calibrated my BT3100 to 90 with my best square and when I put the gauge on it the reading was 89.9 degrees. I did my CMS and it came out to 89.9 also. To make sure that it was accurate I took it to work and tested our professionally calibrated Altendorf and it read exactly what the machine read every angle that I tried.
The unit isn't very big (2 inches square). The magnets on the bottom are very strong and hold onto the blade very well. It has two buttons (on/off and zero) and is very easy to use. You just place it on your surface sitting upright and press zero to zero it out and then place it on the blade and adjust your angle. I haven't made a cut without using it since I purchased it and the results have been perfect every time.
I would recommend this to anyone with any kind of saw that cuts miters. If I didn't cover something that I should have let me know, it is my first post to Tool Talk, but I really like this tool.
