It's picky to get set up and the feed stock needs to be accurately sized. It does work quite well.

I've got the 3 sided system on my machine and once you get it set up it runs some nice material.  Like pineywoods said you really need to pay attention to the set up (as with any machine) to make sure you get the best material in the end.  After that, it will run all day long

If your looking to do production work get the ph260. I have a woodmaster & ph 260. I use the woodmaster to skip plane & then install the saw blades to make uniform sized blanks. Then I run the blanks through the ph 260 for molding. If your only making a small amount of molding the woodmaster is great.
