Waste of time and money

A lot of information about the bike is very redundant. It shows the same setting and screw size for the thickness of part A. It would be nice if it actually told you which screw (fine thread or coarse thread) to use for different materials like plywood, pine, hardwood, chipboard. This wheel brings nothing new to the party.

Pros
  • Spare parts and accessories for power tools
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly

I found a more readable version of the diagram posted by Mike…
