Good move! I once borrowed a friend's Reliant when my ancient Sears
(King-Seely) needed new guides and tried to resaw a piece of wenge less than
3 inches thick. Fed it very slowly, and still burned out the motor before
I'd gotten through 8 inches of cut length. It convinced me not to buy one.
Or much of anything else under that brand name. Not that there was much
chance to begin with.
