    I have a Wixey and love it. I use it mainly for the TS and chop saw. Takes about 30 seconds to get it right. When I first got it I always double checked with a square, and it always seemed "perfect". I don't bother double checking now. For $30, seemed like a great tool for me. I don't know how much more "accurate" I would need?

    I also have the Wixey and like it but the batteries don't last forever. I have reverted back to an Incra right angle and a Woodpecker's speed square for setting 90 degree and 45 degree angles respectively, which is >90% of what I use. I'll use the Wixey for non-standard angles.

    And leaning on the TS can account for a few tenths, too. It doesn't change the actual perpendicularity but it affects the gauge reading.
