Ray's is (IMO) the best stripper for thin sheet wood and for cutting
ribs. You can improve its performance by putting a layer of 2" wide
plastic packing tape over the wood surface (or similar material) and
honing the tip of the blade in the blade holder flush with the bottom
of the blade holder. The idea is to prevent the sharp tip of the blade
from following the grain of the base.
Also, you have to tape the wood to the base. I mention this because it
is the most commonly omitted step when people ask for advice in using
this tool.
There are other modifications that can make it even better, but these
are the basics.
Definitely worth the money.
