Reviews

Users have reviewed this product and mentioned both pros and cons.

Positive features include easy setup, very smooth output; good ergonomics of controls, snipe free results can be achieved by adjusting the tables, flat top, large base and many more. Once the users used this tool they did not look for other options as it provides excellent speed and desired output no matter what type of wood you use be it cedar, oak, birch, maple, black walnut, mahogany etc. The blades can be easily reversed and you do not need any expert for that and is very easily instructed in the manual. Users have expressed how easy it is to repair if some malfunction is faced.

Few negative features have been mentioned by the users its weight being one of them. Some have stated that although it is easy to use but does not provide good output on short pieces of woods. Another issue faced by some users is that they found the product cracked. Also another problem faced was that the feed rollers do not function properly at the beginning. Sometimes adjusting the turret stop can be difficult.

Thus the use of this tool is recommended but it is advised that firstly you check its part and then read the manual properly before using it.
