Don't start my new job until Monday and my brother in law needed a small shaft with a keyway. Cut it with my little South Bend Lathe shaper in about 3 minutes. First one I ever did...Bob

Reminds me of a table saw I bought a couple years ago. Took me 20 minutes to get it set up, then another 45 minutes to take all the anti-everything devices off. I say, just learn to use it properly and safely and you'll be good to go. <br />

The brand was Bosch, so I figure they got sued because a half-wit, dingdong was attempting to cut a figure 8 on it and got a kickback right in the kisser or something.
