I heard the supplier only ships on 4/1/2013
I got a similar device a couple years ago after reading Justin Fink's review https://www.finehomebuilding.com/item/10751/sawgear-automatic-length-measuring-for-your-miter-saw
It's not sonic but it does automatically register the miter length by moving a mechanical stop.
After watching Chuck's review of the sonic stop I'm miffed - the automatic stop Justin steered me to set me back $2000. The sonic stop is only $9.99.
Chuck, Your the man! waited all year for that! I am going to look for that sonic stop at the home stores this weekend!
Thanks for the tool tip, Cluck! errr, I mean Chuck.
Sonic Stop is guaranteed to make you trim work look finger lickin' good!
As a boy I could only dream of such a thing, and now here in my own lifetime it is now a reality Thank you Sonic Stop!
Chuck,
It's not much to crow about but when it comes to April fools, you rule the roost!
Can't locate a sonic stop anywhere. Anyone got a link to a vendor?
Thanks!!
