The only things i wish they added are a second mark for track depth gauging you run a touch shallower using a track so i had to mark a second depth mark for precise and easy track cuts and an 0 mark on the angle that can be adjusted ifwhen the saw comes out of alignment over the decades i intend to use this tool for
