I tried bolting them together, and the edges are off .002-.004", depending on the direction, so once again, they are far from being "matched"."

"It is big enough to position parts I measure and not too big to require a separate stand."
"If you use it for measuring and are careful not to drag tools across it or drop heavy objects onto it, it'll last a lifetime."
"I suggest buying a two wheeler to get it from the poor UPS man to your shop."
"It arrived in a wooden crate in perfect shape, very nice and appears to be all it claims to be."
"That works out to about 0.00001" the stated tolerance on the item is 0.00005". I have no way to verify these figures, but I have already check my (cheap) straight edge which has a stated tolerance of 0.003"."
"People can say how this is inferior to a Starrett all day long, but for 1/20th the price, I'm pretty happy."
