  Because 
  it 
  is 
  simple 
  in 
  construction, 
  not 
  liable 
  

   to 
  get 
  out

   expert 
  to 
  operate 
  it. 
  The 
  table 
  and 
  all 
  other 
  

   working 
  parts 
  are 
  planed 
  true,

   necessary 
  adjustments, 
  and

   The 
  fences

   different 
  thicknesses 
  of 
  panels, 
  and 
  will 
  hold 
  

   them 
  perfectly 
  rigid 
  while 
  passing 
  between 
  

   the 
  heads. 
  The 
  mandrel 
  has
