Not a precision tool
If your aim is to bore rough holes in 2x4s this guide will work just fine. If your work demands more precision I'm afraid that you'll want to look elsewhere. I recorded a quick video showing the runout in the shaft. Otherwise I was impressed with it given its cost. The crossbeam, base, and guide shafts are well-built and heavy. The plastic bits that provide the indexing angles are worrisome but I wasn't planning on using them on anything except 90.
This was my second unit too so I held off on a negative review just in case I had a dud.
