O'skool miter gauge - Anyone know about company? *LINK*

Craig Daymon

I found this on Amazon and it gets some good reviews on sites that seem to specialize in reviewing Amazon products. (Surprisingly, with almost exclusively very positive reviews.)

But I've never heard of the company and an hour of googling and I cannot find any references to where the company is located or who makes it for the company.

Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks.

According to the Amazon link you provided this miter gauge is;

"Currently unavailable.

We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock."

It actually looks a lot like my 25 year old Woodhaven. If it's as accurate as the Woodhaven, it's a good one.

Don't know for sure who actually manufactures it but a seemingly-identical unit is sold by Axminster in the UK. Take a look and see if you agree. Or you can grab the Amazon picture and feed it into Google's image search and turn up your own.

Yes, it certainly does appear identical to the Axminster gauge.

I have been very happy with the other Axminster products I own. (They make great quality, and reasonably priced, woodturning chucks. Lee Valley carries them.)

It is $20 cheaper to buy it from Amazon than directly from Axminster. Though it is nice that Axminster supports international orders on their website.
