Wud, mine is of similar construction (manual feed). It really is more effective than you would guess feeding by hand. The trick is to feed slowly and evenly and take off small bites at a time. I positioned mine such that (unless I am doing a very small part) I stand on the side and feed in with one hand, pull out with the other. When I get to the thickness I want, I do several passes at that setting and things come out pretty darned even. Wud, mine is of similar construction (manual feed).
