Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've had mine for about a year and a half now. The reason I bought it was to match original moldings in my house restoration project and the RBI systems were out of my price range. It is a bit time consuming to switch between planing and molding, but after getting the routine down it is getting quicker and more accurate. There were some burrs on the gears that change the speed, but after cleaning them up has made the job a lot quicker. Once the machine is set for planing or molding, it does a really nice job. You definitely need a dust collector hooked up and the outfeed roller set is a big help in reducing snipe. Overall, it is very capable of meeting a hobbiest level woodworking, but the planing cut isn't that aggressive to do a big stack of wood all at once. If some one is considering molding making as well as occasional planing, it is a nice machine to meet those needs.
