I have a friend that gave me his WoodRat to use for as long as I wanted to keep it. It seemed to be a great tool for doing floating tenons etc. I tried it yesterday and see that it is good for the end of rails etc, but the hold downs are small and you have a hard time squaring up the board if it is much wider than the hold downs. The long board that I had to put the other end up on a roller stand to hold level,would twist slightly when I clamped down on it, as it was narrow that way and had less surface area up against the left side fence. The cam lever on the right would push against the bottom edge of the board and twist it. Any suggestions on this. I was thinking of buying a mortise machine but thought this may do the trick. Not so sure now.
