No problems with instructions or knowing how to use this jig, but it turns out it will not work as-is for my tasks. I build small boxes - - lots of small boxes - - and on most I use mitered corners. For me, the toggle clamp is located too high on the "securing guide" and will force my hands too close to the blade. My solution will be an MDF add-on fence that will have a toggle clamp mounted low enough to clamp a 4" piece. I will also extend this fence to back up the cut itself to prevent chip out.

My review is not as much on the Multi-Angle Sled itself as it is on it's purchasers.
I don't entirely understand why people would purchase this tool in the first place or any tool for that matter and then complain that they don't know how to use it.
You bought it so you must know what it's supposed to do. Even without "instructions" it's a very simple design, and not complicated to figure out. Just look at the pictures!

Tickled to death to find this sled! Absolutely no excuses now for putting off those difficult end cuts on pieces that have to be fed vertically. Will immediately reduce loss of pieces due to wobble. Adds a layer of safety with the solid grip of the clamps. Am loving this tool!

Received it couple months ago. Putting together not too hard. Definitely holds wood vertical well. I too would like some tutorial videos such as how to use to cut tendon and mortise.
I started using it just to get comfortable with it. I happen to be checking router fence for 90 degrees to table and happened to check jig. One side spot on but other side off by couple degrees. Required sim to correct. Not difficult to fix but others will want to check before using.

There are no instructions included with this device other than how to assemble it and those are marginal. It may be a good tool but it will sit in the cupboard till Vertex or MLCS or someone publishes complete instructions in paper or YouTube. I certainly will not recommend it to fellow woodworkers at this point and will be doubly careful about ordering anything from Vertex or MCLS in the future.
If there are complete instructions including video or photos somewhere, I and anyone who has this jig would appreciate the info.

Like previous reviews, I would like to see a video on its use. This would give me a better idea of what it can do.

Don't get me wrong, it's a good product. Just not a great one.
The initial instructions leave the face in a 90 degree angle. If you want the other angles it offers, you have to undo 4 screws and flip-flop the angle block or replace it with the other one (included.) It's no big deal, just time-consuming. Especially if you're only going to make 1 or 2 cuts with the new angle.
On the other hand, it simplifies working on the edges of tall pieces & 1 corner of a 90 degree cut.
Still, I gave it 4 stars for the aggravation. WORTH THE MONEY!

I have yet to use this jig because there are no instruction or videos on how to set up and use it. It appears to be well made and versatile. I guess I could figure it out but instruction would be nice. I will give another review when I try it out.
