Thanks Bill & Curt I am thinking of making an old fashioned hat and coat stand out of some brown oak I felled and slabbed 40 years ago The Revo has drive to the spindle but not the leadscrew The biggest problem is keeping the cutter up to the template and turning the handle. The other problem is controlling the depth of cut . *Do you use the stops or the lock knob??* Richard
