To me, one of the indispensable modes of the SS is the horizontal boring mode. It is very useful for drilling into the end of a piece. The rip fence can provide a stop, the miter gauge a reference surface, and if needed, a block with a V cut out can hold round shapes. Today I used it with a plug cutter to cut 3/8" tenons on the end of spokes. I've also used it to drill holes in the center of legs so I can insert a dowel and repair a fracture. (Table or chair legs that is, no animal legs).
