I made this amazing chair in less than 3 hours. I just played around with it to figure out how to use it and did it. It turned out perfect and very strong. Possibly the strongest thing I've ever built! Love this light and highly recommend buying if you are interested in making lightweight log furniture.
I ordered this and used it once before tearing it up. For some reason the adapter is screwed into the base. On my third cut, the adapter's threads were stripped and now it just twists and doesn't cut. The adapter is steel and the cutting head is aluminum so I can't even weld them together. I have had bad experiences with this tool. I would not recommend it.
I used this kit to rebuild a rocking chair that someone had cut out the rocker arms. It easily cut the new studs and the Forstner bit cut clean holes in the new rocker arms which I cut out. forgive tolerances. The set didn't fit super tight, but that was ok since I worked by hand. I filled the bottom of the holes with epoxy to seal them. The set allowed me to breathe new life into an old product!
