If someone *gave* you a Rockler Cross Cut sled and drop-off table, is there a specific reason (or
reasons) that you would forgo it's use and continue using your home made sled, other than the
emotional attachment to your good ole sled?

Do either of the ones you've made include the angle gauge and pivot or
are they simply crosscut as virtually every homemade (regardless of how
precise of simple or fancy) I've ever seen has been?

So that would be a vote for the Rockler unit, I guess.


What's the downside of simply accepting something offered as for free
and trying it out to see if it will replace something else; you can
always pass it on if not or throw it in the dustbin if it's really
useless...


No downside, merely trying to prevent the "It's $200! I could build one in
10 minutes for free with scraps" argument. Trying to ensure folks stay
focused on the pro and cons of the device itself.

After all, this is usenet. ;-)

OK, my money is on:
