Re: I think its worth it...
You'd cut a bunch of templates and jigs out of masonite or 1/4 plywood.
You'd use it to simply "cut a couple inches off that dowel" without setting up the table saw fence, sled, making a lot of sawdust etc.
You'd cut very thin kerf stuff like drill press or router table inserts.
You'd make odd shaped gluing and clamping cauls.
You'd saw pencils in half lengthwise to make a zero clearance marker.
You'd scroll cut letters and numbers to make signs with your name, callsign, nickname, address, title, tool/work area.
You'd cut everything from cork to leather to wood to aluminum to steel and the blades cost 50 cents and change in 60 seconds.
You'd break or dull a blade and throw it away or you'd reuse the remaining good part of the blade as a tiny keyhole saw, mounted in a wooden handle that you built with the same saw.
You'd saw tons of stuff and never lose a fingertip.
You'd clamp together several sheets of laminate, glue a pinup girl pic, photo of your dog, unicorn for your daughter, 56 chev, whatever, and cut out the coolest table top mosaic in the world.
You'd cut walnut pistol grips that are an exact fit to your hand.
That's what you'd do with it.

Re: I think its worth it...
Can you explain this one more? When I think zero clearance I think table saw insert but I'm confused about the pencil part.

For that price, you buy it first and figure out what to do with it later.
You could make some really big *** puzzles for the kids for Christmas with that thing.

[zero clearance marker, pencil sawed in half lengthwise]
Fretted instrument makers use them to mark bone nuts. Imagine a guitar or mandolin with it's fretted neck. You want to install a new bone nut at the top of the fretboard. Frets are perhaps 020-050 higher than the fretboard and you want to scribe a line parallel with the top of the frets.
Install the oversized nut, place the "half pencil" flat on the frets and scribe the line.
Use the same half pencil to mark lines on things like table saw blades, band saw blades. router bits to mark where the table meets the blade.
Hold it on the side of a drill bit in a press and mark where the diameter of the hole will fall.
Use it to scribe where metal drawer slides wil fall on the sides of drawers by holding a small square up against the slide, set the half pencil on top of that square.
Shim it with feeler gauges or dimensioned lumber or the blade of a framing square and scribe lines that are a measured distance from your work.
Set it on your bench and it will never roll off.
