That's a good tip on back-cutting clockwise. Was wondering if I
was using too much pressure laterally too.

The machine has got a good enough workout that returning it
would be real problematic. There's still a laminate gizmo
to play with for flush trim and a circle cutter. The whole
shebang ony cost $30... not including the standard router bits
I bought. I have a diamond stone... may I can touch up the bit
and get the -- melted glue or whatever black crud is on it.

File cabinet is upright. Drawers not done yet-- too hot here.
