Works for most bits Sommerfeld

I really only needed this for installing intermediate plates. Unfortunately, the raised panel overlay doesn't really match the raised panel attachment I'm using. It wasn't a big problem but considering why I bought this lure it seems like a loss. However, the device works very well with other Sommerfeld bits that I have.

Pros
  • Hands Free Operation
Cons
  • Empty

With this device you can process workpieces of different thicknesses

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Almost never
