Not only is the Iseli RZ-1 highly precise, the machine is very user-friendly.  The control unit is easily programmable with a touch-screen that provides a clear display of all elements.  The order of leveling, tensioning and putting the back in can be selected and programmed through a graphical interface of the control unit.  Programs can be recalled with the same values for effortless duplication of saw blades of the same specification.
