  • Would expect more detail in a "how to" video. I don't generally like to make negative comments, but this was like watching someone tell me how to use a screw driver.

    How much does he take off each pass? What are some of the controls on the machine? Does the grain direction change how deep your cuts are? (ie cross grain). What happens if you stick your finger in that thingy there? ;)

  • I hate expert village, their videos are 1-2 minutes long...idots!!! Make a 30 min video, this is supposed to be educational not entertainment!

see all

  • Come on, I need you to stop making videos. Yours are the only ones I find and they are no help. Please tell us how to use all of the functionality if your going to make a video. Also one single video would be nice

  • I dont like to make bad comments i really dont, but this too is BAD video """presentaion"""

  • Oh my god! Heaps of detail in this one, Didn't even mention the head lock on this model. Expert Village has no right to try to "Teach" anyone in there "Free" DIY woodworking video, This is ridiculous!

  • ha ha ha I had to sit through Jack Conway ad to see this? Seriously? I voted for Rand.

  • What is the minimum thickness that a sheet of wood needs to have for me to use it in this machine? I have pieces of wood that I need to thin down by 2 or 3 mm but sanding that without a drum sander is just too much work...

  • @DavesTreeFarm From what I know you should take off 1 sixteenth of an inch on softwood and 1 thirtysecond of an inch on hardwood. And always run wood through with the grain. And if your finger gets caught lets just say it will look something like hamburger meat.

  • stupid commercials.

  • Wow, last time I watch anything from expert village. They suck bad enough already most of the time, BUT NOW HAVING TO WATCH COMMERCIALS??? GET A CLUE!!!!!!!!
