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

Out, gotta go home a watch a football game.

(now a football thread )

BTW, I wish I had found this thread earlier. Now need to read all the posts.
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.
