It isn’t more precise. No professionals use that method. Table method is so much easier and faster once you grasp the technique.

It doesn't touch the plywood. Basically the crank is a steel cylinder similiar in size to a half inch drill bit ......the reducer is made just like a drill chuck.....so it just bites on like a drill chuck. Does this answer your question?

@@knowyourouts3466 haha sorry I think I didn’t do a very good job explaining. I meant the pvc piece underneath the crankandstein that catches the cracked cocoa beans. I called it a reducer because it is large where it meets the plywood and then reduces down in size. I assume you just cut a hole in the two pieces of ply and slotted that pvc piece in. I am wondering if there is any issue with cracked cocoa beans getting caught on the top of ply outside of the diameter of the pvc piece since it is smaller than rectangular bottom of the crankandstein. I hope I’m explaining this adequately. Thanks for getting back. I will be receiving my crankandstein in the mail soon and will then really be able to properly examine it.
