Wow, a simple question generates lots of great responses.
First thanks to all of your inputs.
Here are some choices. Remember "FREEDOM" is the ability to choose.
Saws-----
Bridge City ------$ 69.00
Vertas------------$ 20.00
Lee Valley--------$ 25.00
Stanley shark----$ 15 to 20
Use a router
Block plane-------$ 110.
As to saws ----I sure most people can appreciate BC tools. However 3 times the price seems a tad high if you only want to trim a dowel. If it does it better quicker maybe.
I have a Micro-Fence 3 Axis Mill, and every time I use it, I marvel at the workmanship and genius of the design.
Perhaps one can feel that way from the Bridge city saw. Right now, I having a hard time justifying the cost.
A lot of people complain about the saw blade getting jammed in the kerf.
I see lots of recommendations for plastic cards, thin metal shields, when using a saw. Some people recommended using a Dozuki saw and use a plastic card --because this saw will not bind.
Another person recommended a block plane----"very interesting".
So many choices.
Again thanks for your great inputs.

One interesting comment-----a number of chats on the internet say---hit the no set tooth blade and you just ruined a saw. Cannot be fixed.
