A line intended only for lights cannot properly carry a
power tool motor. Wire that is heavy enough for a short
distance will be too light for a greater distance. A line that
can support one power tool may not be able to support two
or three tools.

as a guide, sliding along the tool rest as the cut is made.
The palm-down grip can be utilized for heavy roughing
applications. The heel of the hand will serve as a guide.

allow chips fall away. This will form a cove with the shape
and size of the gouge blade.
If the cove is to be very wide, sizing cuts can be made
