Thanks Justin
No its exactly the process I am using as well so confirms that the work practices are aligned even if the countries are not.
I usually always ask, I guess its because mine does no have that feature.
I don't miss it, due to the fact it sounds like an accident waiting to happen, especially without a power feeder
Hey Robert,
I haven't had the need to set it up in reverse to be honest. The only lumber that I have used that would really benefit would be Hickory with the way it pulls the grain. In Cherry, Oak, Maple etc. it does fine as long as you're aware of the grain direction. I have always heard that when running in reverse it's best to use a power feeder for obvious safety reasons. I just finished making 50+ doors for 2 kitchens out of cherry and with the rails and stiles, I didn't have many issues at all. I always mark each piece with an arrow that I point towards the fence so I have my grain direction set prior to running any stock and haven't had many issues at all. I always make a couple extra pieces just in case of blowout etc. Rails and Stiles are always the worst in my opinion because you are shaping a profile as well as the groove, the groove is the part where chip-out is more prone because the bits don't shear cut on them. Panels I have had no issues at all and with anything else, just take light passes and go on with it. I hope this helps and sorry if I got off the beaten path.
Justin,
I have the same machine only its branded Carb Tech and without a reverse.
Have you ever set it up for reverse? I always wondered about the safety and other related aspects of this feature.

Robert Brennan

I saw the video Kreg put out for this new jig and had high hopes for it.
I purchased one today and am very disappointed with it.
First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…

Several months ago, I purchased the Kreg K4MS so that I could build the Lego Table as outlined on the companion "buildsomething" web site which exclusively uses pocket hole construction. I have considerable experience with conventional…
