We use the biesmeyer ones at work and there rock solid. I got this one thinking it would be a nice alternative and save some money. Well like the old saying goes you get what you pay for. The cursors are extremely magnified and it's really hard to determine where your at on the tape, the build quality seems ok it all bolts together where as the biesmeyer has some components welded and seem to engage much easier and tighter. I plan to replace this one with a rockler flip stop or get biesmeyer stop. It works, but would not recommend it.
