Trend digital bevel box

Just a heads up on the Trend bevel box, if you are in the market for an inexpensive bevel box this could be ideal.
I recently managed to destroy my old bevel box so after seeing a review in this months Furniture & Cabinetmaking of the Trend one I walked into my local iron mongers to pick up some blades I’d had sharpened & saw one on the counter.
The review said they were accurate to +/- 0.2 degrees so I checked it out with my Mitutoyo digital protractor it was 0.1 out, which when you consider these are over half the price of other makes & I doubt they would be guaranteed to be much more precise, I think they are a good buy.
I’ve seen them on line for under £18 & when it comes to setting up machinery I find them invaluable.
