I'm a hobbyist woodworker and am critical of my work having been a Tool & Die Maker and a Machinist in my younger days. I'm constantly fighting off the urge for ultra precision in woodworking; too many variables that can affect the result, i.e. expansion/contraction from humdity, hardness/softness, surface finish, chipping/flaking, etc. Yet, one thing that became quickly obvious to me when working on small projects is that a 1/64" error shows up much more noticeably than on large projects, so there must be a compromise.
However, to pay $120 plus another $8 for shipping ( https://www.amazon.com/Woodpeckers-P.../dp/B004BFYLZK ) for this type of tool is totally unreasonable in my opinion. This level of quality in a layout tool to make workworking precise is inappropriate in woodworking by virtue of not being able to maintain this level of accuracy in the width of the layout line, or cut/mill to 0.001" from a layout line. This type of tool is not a substitute for quality craftmanship.
