    The most surprising thing has been a little Sears 12" old beat up bandsaw my BF dropped off several years ago. At the time, I had not really even started ww, and thought--what a piece of junk.

    Now, it is a joke b/t us that I use that little saw more than anything else.

    And, the SawStop that my wife said "get it" when she saw the DVD is used a lot (see previous post on BandAid use).

    +1 on the 4" double square. Mine aren't Starret but I have several of them, one in each apron at home and school, and at least one spare. Use it all the time.
