I just got back from the local Woodcraft store, where I bought a "37

I guess "9" isn't important anymore. But it's my own fault, it said
so right on the packaging.

Otherwise, the tool works well enough.

What do you need the 9 for? Just mark your projects in base 9 or base 8
(octal). By convention, adding a leading 0 denotes a base 8 number.

That's an O, not a 0. ;-)

BTW, some conventions use a leading zero to mean hexadecimal (no octal
option).
