What does this mean?Highlights
Quality

The template guide set up is just a bad design.

And that it only comes with one adapter is dumb due to how you have to set it up.

Plunge is not real smooth at first.

Could it be better or have a couple quality issues addressed.

I'll say up front that most of the annoyances that other reviewers have pointed out are based on fact.
