Learning how to use any tool correctly - and improve on it - is what its all about.

I see most people that use a hack saw dont use it correctly.
I put one hand in front and one in back on the handle for a good part of the time.
As for the sine bar it is relatively cheap the gauge blocks are way expensive.
A better choice is angle gauge blocks for most people.
There was a guy complaining that the gauge block set didn't give enough angles.
Little did he know or was taught they have a plus and minus on each end.'
By tuning the blocks one way or another and stacking them you can get any angle.
Since my miter gauge is extremely accurate I cut wood gauge blocks to set other stuff up.
I have considered the digital read out protractor but question the accuracy of them.
