Here I submit to you a list of things not to buy.
For many of us some times we are embarrassed to admit we have bought something that is totally worthless.
I am going to swallow my pride and confess I got caught up in this and purchased something I have no use for.
First on the list is something called a digital angle gauge.
This one is a cube and sticks to your saw blade so you can supposedly get the perfect angle relative to the table.
Well it is junk and as far as I am concerned they all are.
With a tolerance of +or- 3/10ths of a degree it is the most worthless thing I have ever bought.
I thought it was +or- 3/100ths of a degree.
If you were to make 8 cuts to make a an octagon you would be 2.4 degrees off on all of your cuts.
Sounds picky but if you add of all of the other tiny mistakes that can be made it spells for disaster for the end product.
I find it a gimmick at best.
Some people said it was good for getting close and then using something else to get it dead on.
This is just plain silly.
For the same price you can get a pretty good set of angle gauge blocks.
Cheapo digital angle gauge.
Angle gauge blocks down to 1/4 of a degree.
You can stack them to what ever angle you want.
And are accurate to +or- 30 arc seconds.
The next thing Saw Blades you cant find a Really good saw blade in the Big Box store.
You can buy so so blades but not really good ones.
The only company I can find that really stands behind their product is Forest.
They are hand made right here in the good old USA in New Jersey.
Please feel free to add anything that you have bought to the list to help us all out from making mistakes.
