   I had to use it a couple times before I got a feel for it.  Now it just   
   stays on the drill press all the time.  If it had a quick release jaw it   
   would be even better.  Remember.  You make  it any way you need it.  I   
   made the one I posted pictures of as a "universal", but I might make it   
   differently if I had a particular application for it.  The biggest thing   
   I like about it is it almost totally eliminates any chance of the   
   spinning saw blade.
