Decent product, horrible instructions
By Walt in Pittsburgh
This product is currently selling direct from Woodcraft for $[...] with free shipping (January 2011 catalog from Woodcraft). It is made by Steel City. Steel City has much better instructions. More printed details and better (clearer pictures). Print these at [...].
The product is heavy for a bench top unit. Over 80 pounds. Workmanship was pretty good, and some test cuts in pine were good. I typically work in red oak, so I will see how it goes when I begin an end table project in the next week or so. I did not find the burr problems on the chisels that some reviewers on other sites mentioned. If found, these can be easily cleaned up with a wet stone.
I have always had good luck when dealing with Woodcraft. Like anywhere else, you have to watch your prices, but I will consider paying a slight premium to get the better service they provide.
