I was wondering how and how well the pimo tenon cutter works.
Also is their book really worth buying.
Thanks

Re: Pimo
I'm wondering: I'm new to any work on a lathe, but so far the few tenons I've cut
(acrylic) turned out pretty nicely.
I imagine anyone using a metal lathe won't need the tool anyways, right?
So other than saving a couple of minutes, does this tool actually do anything
for you? I'm asking because I considered buying one some time, but my reasoning
is: if I don't spend money on unnecessary tools, the saved amount will eventually
buy a small metal lathe.

George Dibos uses a tenon cutter on a drill press, but its not the cheap one that you get for <$100.
Check out his videos.
Once you have a small metal lathe, you can do your cutting and drilling for stems on that.
You can find a small lathe, used for les than $400, with tooling.
