I have a huge old thing and the parts of it use most are the half rounds, The rounds holes, the square holes and the round depression. What I always wanted was more variety in the size of the round depressions. I also had "V" notches but didn't use them much but they were handy. Some guys do a lot of tenon work so a good variety of round and square hole size would be necessary. One of the problems of mine it that it weighs so much that there is no joy in using it. So a weight of no more then say 75# would be about right.
