I've been told that epoxy grout can cause an allergic reaction in some folks. Might want to look for an alternative.
I've had some good experiences buying used equipment. I bought a used Delta 12" planer(not a lunchbox) for $400, less than half than cost new. Its a solid machine, but needed to be adjusted. The guy...
