For the cost, I expected better machining, the slot required filling to remove burrs. The burrs were large enough to catch and cut the finger whole using. They also severely limited the easy movement of the blade.

Once filled, it is a nice tool. Disappointed with PEC on this one.

As usual for PEC products it surpassed my expectations!

I have a couple sliding bevel and this is the best one out of all of them... once u lock it down.. its solid as a rock!! It also has good hand feel. The one thing I will say is it has sharp edges but I took a file to mine and now its perfect!

Nice finish, exactly what I wanted in a smaller T-Bevel. Not perfect, because of the way the slots are machined. It is not suitable to set an angle on a machine - table saw blade for instance. The blade cannot be flush with the corner of the base for every angle. Other than that, it is great for marking angles on smaller work pieces, dovetails etc.

Once cleaned up, the tool works great, is reasonably pleasant to use and locking mechanism stays tight.

Although, the adjustor knob does get sticky at both ends of travel due to machining defects in the slot, but more of a nuisance.

Every edge out of the packaging was razor sharp with burrs. Had to dissasemble, stone all the inside and outside edges and clean the grit before it was comfortable to use.
