Apparently, the power tool industry has managed to convince Lowe's & Home

I don't have one of the Jorgensen's, but I always thought it was a

on Amazon.

I don't either. Besides cutting molding, I've found it to be useful for all
sorts of projects involving small pieces of wood that I wouldn't be
comfortable cutting on a table saw (along with my fingers, which I'm sorta
fond of).
