My good friend, Gene Collison has truly instilled in me the importance of having a couple "reference" tools in one's shop. I just picked up the "certified flat" hunk of granite from Woodcraft the other day and I can really see what he's getting at. Next up, I'd like to get a nice Starrett combo rule. Not sure that I need all the fancy-dancy protractor and centering attachments, but the 90/45* head and a 12" rule is pretty much a "need to have" item. Can anyone out here recommend a vendor with fair prices on one of these? I've looked at a couple of the "typical" places, but I just *know* there are folks out here who have lines on the best deals around! Any input is much appreciated!
