Motor slips

Would Not Recommend

I think this is a perfect place to start for anybody who is curious but unsure where to start. It's small enough to maintain control easily, and powerful enough to get consistent cuts over and over again. I ended up using it to trim the edges of some cabinetry I wanted to reuse and fit in a smaller space. It worked perfectly, had the power to get through 1/2 inch plywood, no problem. After...
