I did a lot of research before this purchase - and the machine performed really well. I used it to build 5 pieces for a laundry room built in, and each piece was nearly 7 feet tall and heavy with several shelves. Using the biscuits really helped the assembly / glue up (which anyone who has built furniture knows is stressful). The tool's settings are easy to use, and stayed locked in position despite hundreds of cycles. The case is useful and I only wish I had bought one sooner.
