I agree, it is so useful that I've got a couple, one fitted to a metre rule and the other on a 30cm rule.

did exactly that with one of these a few months back, best "over 50" I've ever done.

this looks prime fodder for the tool makers\secret santas ? Must be a way to make those. The Veritas one is simpler isn't it?

More spendy tho. Especially if you don't need another ruler.

hang on, there's something not right here. Jim, you're saying you spent £50? Are you sure? No, something's fishy. I heard the last time you opened your wallet was 1952 ??

Im have no problem getting an axi order over 50 quid - my problem is keeping the cost down, not inflating it.

not that long ago i went to buy some glue and came back with a morticer

Hmm, I have a piece of flat brass with no home - I might have a go.

I can beat that - went for some shallac and came back with a planner thicknesser

I keep looking at this device but I'm not so convinced on the idea, i use my combination square and get exactly the same result and i don't have to spend half an hour looking for this little contraption. Perhaps one day i might give it a go though, it certainly seems like a popular item.

I went from Manchester to Devon to buy a router, a gallon of thinners, 3 router bits, 10 sanding belts, plus lots of other stuff. Not in stock, with the exception of the router, but that had been increased in price on that day with the introduction of the new catalogue. Not happy, it was also my birthday.I came away with a free catalogue.

little of topic but, when did axminster stop selling fisher steel rules?

I've got one of these http://www.axminster.co.uk/product-Axmi ... -23287.htm which is a much better solution.

Did they at least sing happy birthday to you when they gave you their catalog?

I had phoned up the previous day to check stock and prices. I am off there at the end of the week.
