And quickly too, once the setup time has been taken care of. So no surprises there.... But it sounds like small rips are just too much work to benefit from the process. It's joint making (and similar crosscuts)- and that's about it... Glad we had this conversation....

It takes learning, it is people powered and it does do it's thing better than anything else. Sounds like a hand tool to me. A Japanese saw with an overkill jig to guide it!

I have not even played with ripping yet but have been working at kerf cutting and bending. Also the squiggle wood has been fun. The frustrationg part has been getting the tool dialed in perfect. I think I'm there now but wow, it took me some time. I have been posting to Johns Blog and you can see some of the photos of my tests there.
