I understand this isn't an expensive Amana or Whiteside beat, but it's completely useless. Pull out is poor even with VERY conservative pitch and tread, see attached photo. This is only the second time I've used this attachment, so it doesn't look like it took many hours to carve. I might have gotten a bad one, but even at this price, save your money and buy something else. The cost of this expensive piece of spoiled padauk far exceeds all the money I've saved.
