Another person with the exact same mentality. I accidentally started a Porter Cable 513 on top of the masonite the other day and now have a nice 7/8" cut. It's nice to laugh and replace it for ten dollars if you want. I like Penofin for some applications though. It's a nice oil finish and only requires one coat. I am more a power tool guy though so those nice benches don't do much for the shop.
