Durability & Real-World Use

By design, the bar supports a range of jigs and sleds, enabling you to experiment with different fixtures while keeping the core alignment dependable. This is a practical upgrade for builders who value accuracy, repeatability, and ease of use, rather than promising guaranteed outcomes.
