    4 Stars
    Soft as pine!
    I wanted a longer one to sort out my new jointer and table saw because my 24” woodpeckers wasn’t cutting it. It stood up in accuracy, but not (no surprise) in quality or material. It came scuffed up. I returned it rather than exchanged it because it was clear that the aluminum is just too soft for a woodshop.
