Ok, that's great. Thank-you very much!

Hi - It's for cutting fairly fine shapes (1/8" to 1/4" wide) in 1/2" oak! I'm wondering what will I not get if I don't pay for it!? I don't mind if for instance the piece has to be guided a little more slowly or carefully, but of course I don't want the cut to be uncontrollable. Also, I...
