I hate that frigging Roadrunner, and ACME for supplying the Coyote with such fucked up equipment
It's all the same deal, the only thing is with ACME is that you are using what is basically an old fashioned parting tool to do the work and they love to dig in. It helps if you set them a smidge over centre height. Setting the topslide over and using that for the infeed is good ( cuts on the leading edge only that way ), but you need a stop on the cross slide to go back to zero.
I hope that made sense, I'm shit at explaining things.
