Yes it is 'worth getting'.


It is also easy to make one. A 1/8" 45 degree slot(or whatever angle suits). Table tilt to change angle.

Yes! quite a few members have and use them. Only issue I've found is adjusting the spring washers supplied with the tool. I replaced them with smaller ones from Lowe's. Problem with the original was they interfered with mounting the blades straight.
