    Read some feedback on them.
    I couldn't get any after trying for months on end.so,I bought some sturdy plastic 2mm sheets ,and decided to make my own.
    Cutting precision is difficult,but achieved it.lining up with different angles on top of each other using gorilla super glue,is difficult. But achieved it.end result,not good enough, even 1-1.5mm out is not good enough.im convinced what everyone has said.maw boards are just the concept and not the answer.use your skill guys,much better results.

    We used to use them, they're a pain in the ass. If any of the walls were out it was tricky messing with them. I think you're better off just trying to get your normal cutting techniques better and more efficient.

    Look to much faffin around to me, too many additions. By time you've messed around with all the shapes etc you could have fitted 3 or 4 cuts!

    Tried them years ago there terrible. I’ve just got a set of the my scribe ones to try out and there bang on to be fair, although being stuck in my ways I haven’t carried on using them either

    Tried them when he first started making them and wasn't overly impressed, but to be fair i think he was making them by hand at the time, got his knew ones and they do actually work, i don't use them all the time, you tend to automatically go to what you know, but personally i'd say they were worth having in your toolkit

    Tried it before, and it’s a pain. Really doesn’t work well.

    Get the 'my scribe' ones, you'll soon be whizzing down them wall cuts.

    Ive actually got my owner 3d printer and in the process of making my own now, just need to finalise a couple changes to fine tune but made the 100mm width herringbone one pretty easily.
