I thought this product was a great bargan but found out differently. First off, it does not come with a manual or parts list so if it breaks, you're out of luck.The tool has no power so even when cutting into pine, with very little preasure, you can stop the blade from spinning.After making about sixteen cuts on this brand new joiner, the bolt that holds the blade in fell apart causing the blade to fall out which in turn destroyed the blade.Not having a parts manual, you can't get replacement parts.It is junk. Spend a little extra money and buy a brand name. You can get a "Craftsman" for about $99.00
