I would recommend this unit to anyone. I gave it a 5 although there were 2 small issues. Plenty of power, it's never bogged down. If you have the time, works on large jobs. I am just making knife handles now.

Shop Fox W1686 Final Thoughts
"Works great."
No damage, packaging can improve. You may want to get a set of fine. Plenty of power, it's never bogged down. I work with very hard wood for building guitars. Wish I would have bought this long ago.
