I know PNG. I only have two hands and they are pretty full. I would agree a little drag is good. At plugfest a few said I should wax up the base to make it slippery and I said you do not want it too slippery. You have to remember that you are relying on the steadyness, hopefully a word, of your hands to apply pressure to the wood, too slippery and you will be ripping that thing out of the machine. The tool holder is not rigid to the base it slides. The feel is different than holding the traditional tool in your hands. The holder is further from the work piece than traditional tools, which you have more control over. Could get ugly and hurt. Paul
