Re: SawGear: Automatic Length Measuring for Your Miter Saw

Home Depot has the 12 ft version for $2995.00. If it saved 1 second from every cut that a $20/ hr guy makes, it would take roughly 54,000 cuts to break even. (Our case and base wunderkind would probably loose time punching the keyboard.)
And according to the video of the worker unloading the thing from the truck it does look like it's a single piece.
Yeah, you might say I'm a little skeptical. I won't go on about machines making us all lazy....
