I disagree strongly. Stop smoking & don't transfer the fixation. It's a permenant thing, not just a short term infatuation/transferance. Deal with it & enjoy the rest of your life

A fast back-cut is not always enough. Especially free-grained timbers of a larger diameter, eg willow alder ash some poplars etc. Not saying it can't be done, but additional measures such as increased depth of face cut, reduction of the hingewood length at each side etc. Alternativley you could research the Coos bay cut. Great in some situations but has no directional properties

If you feel that you do not have the required competence to use a piece of kit, then it would surely be common sense to seek-out tuition before using it. Either by an approved trainer or the manufacturer.

Great post Nod. I guess we often rely more on what we have read, than what we have been told & more on what we have been told, than what we have figured out for ourselves. What I'm try say is we should perhaps examine the source assess of our information & assess that prior to depending on it. Questioning is natural, why fight it?
