“It Worked Well for Us for 30 years, ( at least ) !”

First of all, I don't like set screws on much of anything! However, this particular item did serve my father and myself well in his custom cabinet business for over 30 years. We used it for decorative face plates on bookcases, fluted pilasters on fireplace mantles, fluted pilasters for large exterior... read full review »

“tear-out”

As a Builder/Remodeler I do a lot of custom cabinet work so I decided to try this moulder head on my big Craftsman table saw. The start of cuts is OK but the end always results in tear-out.

“woody is not happy”

The most critical safety related component is of the lowest quality. I can not safely assemble the cutters to the head with the set screws provided. The allen wrench provided is fine, but the set screw hex sockets are so poor, the wrench slips when pressure is applied. The set screws are a custom design, and are not available as replacement parts. While I rated the product poor in all categories, I have not had a chance to use the product, so I really can't speak to the value, durability, or reliability.
