Stay away from the Wood River one that Woodcraft sells. It is junk. Mine had over 1/16" of runout and promptly went back to the store for a refund. I've heard nothing but good things about the PSI model.

You won't be sorry you did Al. I love mine. Just tell your wife it is an investment in your future. Then duck.  John |
