I also own one of these except that it's an older version without the claw type truing gauge but uses hand screws in a U-holder. The rest looks the same. I've build a handful of wheels and done a fair amount of truing with it and find it's easier to use than using your frame and zip ties or other methods but is not rigid enough to do perfect dishing and needs to be handled carefully when spinning your wheel to check true/runout by trying not to shake the stand. Dishing can be done with OK results but the wheel needs to be gently lifted straight up and dropped straight back in again without jostling the stand when flipping the wheel and repeated a few times just to get consistent results. Wheel building takes some practice so be patient.
