Wondering if anyone has been using one of these. What's your impression of it, particularly on Doug Fir?

Because of the differing hardness of the summer and winter growth rings on Doug fir, it is particularly hard to sharpen with pencil sharpener type sharpeners.  A sanding disk works much better.  That being said, a lot of folks get satisfactory results on Doug fir with the trucenter tool.

Anyone use the 1/4" adapter? How did it work?

X2 on Orion's comment.

Someone gave me one of the 1/4" adapters and it doesn't work well.  The taper is too short.  Glad I didn't pay for one.  Disappointing.

I've done 2-3 dozen surewoods with the new taper tool, compared to the old tool and handheld works fine for me. I haven't tried the 1/4 inch adapter Bud B. but after cresting sealing and 5-6 coats of the massey finish I find that on my 11/32 shafts I have to use the 23/32 adapter as 11/32 is just too tight on shafts.

What Orion said

I have used the new version on POC, Spruce, and Fir with no issues. In fact I much prefer it to the old tool. I have not used the 1/4" adapter.

Well that's good feedback. I wasn't too happy with the older tool, which is why I'm a little cautious about the new one.

I gave away my old version. I now use my belt/disc sander with a taper jig for point and nock(when I'm no making self nocks)taper.
