You guys are so shallow trying to buddy up to Eric since he got the new machine. BTW, Eric, when can you make it down for steaks?

It does in a way. Interesting, but this thing is by no means plug and play - you have to tweak a lot of settings to get the cleanest possible cut depending on the material. I'm still learning a ton every time I turn it on and suspect I will be for a while.

So, like a tablesaw or any other tool that can be used to cut wood, there's a noticable difference between the product of someone who has some skill using it and a novice like me. In a way it's more difficult since you have the added variable of different pieces of material. Two planks of the same species will have varying densities and even have the density vary throughout the single sample, which can really play **** with things.

Frankly that surprised me as I thought it would be far more straightforward. If any of you want to avoid the hassle, just buy an industrial 5000 watt machine and you can zip through at such high speed and power that you have a much wider envelope. Than I'll be the one inviting you over for steaks
