Dunno. As for utilitarian/jack of all trades/flop a board/flip a switch thingie? (I speak VERY contractie speak). Bang for the buck?

I rip wood, dato, etc. with a table saw, and yes my 12" compound sliding miter can cut up to 60 degrees angles.
I have a nice radial arm and it might get used once every two years. Maybe.
I am also a guy that owns every wood tool known, and 2-3 each to keep multiple job sites running. I am a tool whore.
