Nice review! I didn’t consider the issue with a grippy wheel and knots impacting measurements and it’s nice to see that the M1 supports angled cuts! I think the M1 can be used in conjunction with a stop block pretty nicely to address the speed issue. Get an accurate measurement with the M1, move the stop block into position, move the M1 arm out of the way, cut, repeat, profit!

Interesting tool, but I won't be needing one. It's good to see innovation and new ideas coming to fruition for woodworking. Keep 'em coming. But, for $149.00, I made an accurate stop-block system and would have had enough $$ leftover for lunch. In my opinion, a stop-block is faster and accurate enough for woodworking. After nearly 50 years in the craft, I realized that I am a woodworker, not a machinist. Thx.

I spent hours considering whether to purchase this thing during the sale. Watched several videos until I finally found someone make an actual miter cut which, in my opinion, is where precision matters most. In the end, I couldn't find a review good enough to convince me to make the purchase. This video would have made the difference. I am one of those folks with the rolling cart so this tool would be of benefit but, my plan is to eventually set up to use stop blocks. Time will tell which comes first; stop blocks or the Reekon going on sale again that will determine whether I buy one or not. Thanks, Matt, for another great video.

This would be most handy when cutting from a cut list. For most projects, I measure then cut one board at a time. The only time I cut multiples is for identical parts, which stop blocks work fine. But if you had a list of a bunch of cuts of different lengths, this would make very short work of it. I could see this used in a semi-production type of shop.

When this was first being advertised as a kickstart project, it was being sold as having BT connectivity and an ap that would let one person be measuring/nailing, and another cut man on the ground. As a framer/builder/GC, I can definitely see that as being a major pro for this device, and cutting down on time and poor communications.

It looks like it could be a nice addition to a shop. In particular, it would make setting up stop blocks for repetitive cuts quicker and more accurate. Instead of running a board through the device 10 times, stopping at a reading of 5.25" to make a cut, to make 10 pieces 5.25" long; you could just use the device to measure 5.25", set the stop block to the end of the board, and make 10 cuts.

And while you can certainly do that, actually doing it in a way that correct and accurate is going to be a fussy process. And doing what he has in the video is a lot more work and money. That doesn't mean it might not be worth the effort, but I don't think that's a valid "just do this instead" compared to a device that clamps on, has built-in calibration, then just works.

Actually I thought about buying one but I've heard about the cons from another reviewer. Dust on a miter saw is just normal even with dust collection running. So the fact that you would have to clean your board everytime you go to make a cut is to time consuming. I'm with everyone else here. My repeatable stop block system from Kreg is working good on my setup

Another great review. The other drawback vs stop block is you have to roll the board under the wheel every time. So, if you need 10 boards 93" long, as when framing a wall. you have to roll each one under the wheel. No thanks. I agree about it being great for short boards.

I think carpenters who do residential trim carpentry would be the perfect application for this tool. You could go pull your measurements for the entire house for baseboards and door casings and make all your cuts wayyyyyy faster than measuring every single piece with the tape measure. And especially since most trim carpenters work with primed MDF and sanded poplar, the wheel would stay clean and accurate

Side note: I’ve seen adds for a tape measure that they’re developing where you can measure and save your measurement in a cut list on the digital display on the tape measure.

Great breakdown and demo, as usual. Looks like a cool toy and I will definitely plan to buy the knockoff when it shows up on Temu for $42.

is temu stuff actually legit? I bought something from wish once and although it did show up the quality was horrendous.

@@justjay3750 Dunno... I have some Woodpeckers knockoffs from Ali Express that are alright, but I don't know if that's generalizable to Temu or of Chinese tools generally.

When this was on Kick Starter, it was supposed to be equipped with a BT connectivity and an ap, so that I could be on the roof and I could send the cuts to the cut man on the ground. Is it equipped as described?

Yes the app works

Regarding the lack of batteries, I'm wondering if that might be something to do with less complications with shipping regulations. In the UK, if something has batteries, there's a lot of extra paperwork and red tape to ship it.

Even for alkaline batteries? Lithium makes sense, but this thing just uses AAs.

Does it have an external power option? As something that would, in many cases, just sit with the saw at all times it seems really stupid to need AA batteries at all. That's a good option for those that need it portable, but I would like to see a DC in jack on there that would allow you to just skip the batteries. That being said, it would probably not be hard to 3D a dummy "battery" pack that replaces the door and batteries, and you just need to wire it up to a 3v power supply.

I am thinking about buying one but according to the compatibility of my miter saw, the BoschGCM12SD I would need to buy an adapter but the pictures clearly show the BoschGCM12SD with no adapter as far as I can see so I’m a tad confused and I did not see a way to contact the company the email they give I can’t get it to send any help would be helpful thank s

@731Woodworks. I like todays video, found it to be very informative. thats said I have a random follow up question, as I couldn't stop looking at your holder for your chisels, I don't remember you having that when you installed those organizer panels and wanted to ask where you got it. I would be great for my shop as I don't yet have a solution, and desperately need one. Hope you see this and thanks!
