You will like using the Shinwa. I have a few different types of mitre gauges, but I keep returning to this one.

I am now more than curious. When I Googled images of shinwa miter gauge I found several that they make, some with two miter ends, some with one miter end and one square end, some in aluminum, some in stainless steel, some which will also measure angles, some intended for marking flat boards and some which wrap two sides of a post and therefore appear to be intended for timber framing. Which one does Derek prefer, and which one did Bill order? Is it the same as the one that Bill's friend introduced to him? Does anyone else have preferences?

William, the one I recommended was the one I posted earlier ...

This is stainless steel.

The Veritas one is excellent, however the piece I am making at present has curved mitred sides. The Shinwa is better at alignment for these.
