Title: Great machine for the $
Product review: I never wrote on this tool , but recently built a door from Eucalyptus Torelliana which weighs in at about .85SG and I must say the motor took the the work of single full 3" deep plunges with the 5/8" bit without bogging down. I was impressed. The rack and pinon mech for the plunge provided plenty of mechanical advantage but I still needed to put some arm into it. The wood was hard enough to where the chisel bit could not be held with the brass screw thru the bushing and kept sliding up. The solution was to allow it to do so and adjust the auger to suit. I have not done any compound joiery with the machine as of yet but would probably prefer a tilting head to do so. That way the work might be held level with outboard supports.Good repeatability. Getting results that are within thousands of an inch are possible with a little patience and micrometer.
