You don't have to crank it while using it, technically. It adjusts the
height of the blade.
Unfortunately, with hard woods, you can only cut "so deep," so you need
to take shallow passes... kind of like a router.

The guy in the video seems pretty adept at
"making a pass-adjusting blade height-making a pass-adjusting blade height"
pretty quickly, as I figure most users would get after some practice.


For the money they want it should have a mechanism which automatically
raises the blade height by a user adjustable amount with each pass.

Great idea, and you're right.
It would be a pretty easy thing, mechanically.
I've seen it on 18-19th century machines.
