Going to take the "plunge" on the Rocky with plunge base. I improvised a guard for the Colt from, of all things, a piece of a plastic peanut butter jar.

Yup, and I thought I got a screaming deal at $79. I think anyone who uses an edge guide a lot may well be disappointed, that to me is the weakest part of the machine though I may not know what I'm doing and how to use it correctly. Wouldn't be the first time
