Good for the price, cool. I almost made my own until I saw one for less than $10. A bit tricky to get the perfect height. I tested it with Purple Heart Switching Grain. Anyone who knows wood knows that it is hard wood. The cereal was great right out of the box. Soft wood shaves like butter. I've redid that thing 20 times, I keep going too deep or not touching it. That's my problem, just saying how much I worked to set it up. Each wood is also different, as softer woods are likely to shave differently. 4 stars based on my attempts to easily adjust the blade depth. . I'm happy with the factory edge, it turned out to be sharper than I expected. But I don't do factory edges, I'll sharpen them to my standards and try again. I'll probably come back and give 5 stars once I'm done. A sharp edge changes the amount it digs into the wood versus how much of the wood it shaves. Recommended, I will buy again. (If needed)
