Similarly, it took me way too long to realize my miter saw was a colossal waste of space in my shop, but absolutely necessary on a job site.
Anyway, looks like I have that Ritter coming my way. I think he just wanted the machine out of his shop, and for the price he was offering it at it didn’t make sense to turn it dow. I’ve also seen his work, and it is very high end, so if I can’t figure out a way to make it useful I suppose that’s on me! I don’t see this as a dream machine, but will put it to immediate use, and hope to one day stumble across a nice Maka mortiser to complement the horizontal drill.
