    Thumbs up

    Thanks Dean.

    I have been thinking about one of these for some time now.
    Your review gave me insight on how these machines operate.


    Cheers

    Dean
    You should mention how to make wider pins as per the following link to their technical pages.

    Also the use of spiral upcut bits instead of the straight cutter dramatically reduces tearout.

    Makita sell an accessory adapter that the TP11 guide fits into.
