I won't be able to go to any boot camp for the lucas mill.  I have a lucas mill and have tried to use the  bevel siding attatchment and it is quite tricky since the blade tips down by adding washers.  The measurement calculation is not straight forward and was wondering if any one else has tackled and accomplished using the bevel siding attatchment sucessfully and has any pointers on it's use.  Also I had difficulty maintaining a good skinny edge it would would wanderoff and not be accurate skinny edge.  I was trying for quarter inch on the small side and 5/8" on the thick side?
