HandyDan Posted March 1, 2017 Report Posted March 1, 2017 (edited) This would be a nice idea for someone living in an apartment. Easy dust control and low noise. Isn't cheap though. Edited November 23, 2017 by Ron Dudelston tags added Grandpadave52 and HARO50 2 Quote
lew Posted March 1, 2017 Report Posted March 1, 2017 For that price, you would think they could use a little less plastic/nylon. Quote
Dadio Posted March 1, 2017 Report Posted March 1, 2017 (edited) I bought one when they first came out. I had to wait nearly 2 years for it since I ordered it. I will say it is a beautiful piece of equipment as I have ever seen. I bought the precision fence and if a person works to the .001", it is the tool for them. It did not fit in with what I do so I sold it. It is more work than I imagined to make a cut, back and forth ,raise the blade, back and forth, raise the blade, back and forth ,raise the blade...... For a model maker that works with small pieces,it would be great, not the tool for the general woodworker, nail bender like me. I made the stand. Here are some pictures.

There is very little plastic on it ,it is all steel and color anodized aluminum. the knobs are the only plastic, I recall. It has linear ball bearings on the solid steel ways and they glide like silk. It is a precision built piece and the fit and finish is top shelf, pricey though, i agree. Herb P.S. Oh, the bevel gears are nylon, forgot about them. Edited March 1, 2017 by Dadio lew and HARO50 2 Quote
Grandpadave52 Posted March 8, 2017 Report Posted March 8, 2017 Late getting to this review...Very innovative. It would be a nice tool for someone with limited resources or location...Kinda' that in between for a power tool user and the hand-tool purist. Wonder what the longevity of the blade sharpness is and can it be re-sharpened or does it have to be replaced? I could see trim carpenters liking it for on-site work especially a remodel where dust & noise abatement is critical. Thanks Dan & Herb...never had seen or heard of this tool. Interesting for sure.

Nickp Posted March 12, 2017 Report Posted March 12, 2017 Thank you, Dan, for posting & Herb for the writeup... I guess it would be a nice piece of equipment for small pieces of wood...would hate to hang a 12' piece of molding to cut a miter at its end...? Theory...the smaller the wood, the lower the price should be...? Dadio 1 Quote
