General Scroll Saw Talk / Steve's Video - Wixey Digital Angle Gauge - for Jet and Excalibur Saws

He demonstrated how he mounted it to his Jet scroll saw and the introduction says it will also work on the Excalibur. I just want to be sure of something he did not clarify and that might be confusing or misleading to others as it was nearly to me. Both of the saws he mentions in the video have heads, not beds, that tilt. Therefore mounting it to the head like he did will work great for those saws. However if you have a Dewalt or others whose bed tilts his method will not work. For those other saws whose beds tilt you should be able to obtain the same advantage from the device by merely setting it on your table with its magnets rather than having to make a mount, etc.
I think it is a great tool to have in your arsenal of scroll saw gadgets. But since I am kind of new to all this, and since I own a Dewalt saw, I just wanted to make sure what I say above is correct.
