Cast iron is the best table to consider, any non-metal type is going to have deflection / stability issues at some point. We have a Benchdog cast iron top w/ what may have been the last remote speed...

Jointer - preferably used European over Asian no matter the head type on the Asian machine; search for an insert knife type if at all within your target range. Consider selling the planer to finance...

Lenox Diemaster 2 has been great on a Canadian General 15 in saw; try Spectrum Supply - fast service and good welds

I thought they were off the market. We purchased what may have been on of the last ones in Canada a couple of years ago from The Tool Store online; it was high but not that price

We have a MM 41 Elite w/ a Dustek Dusty 2 bag DC attached via 6 in flex hose and one of these 6 to 5 inch reducers http://www.airhand.com/products/spun-reducers it's about 1900 CFM. Does a great job...

We found the J/P combo route to be both a space and cost efficient approach. The key is in matching the robustness of the machine for your tasks. I'd been looking at the Hammer A41 after deciding...

Thanks Richard. That was exactly the type of experience that I was looking for.

Before ordering a Keller dovetail jig, I'm looking for some user feedback on the Pro 16 and 24 models. While the majority of use envisioned will be drawers w/ 3/4 max stock thickness, it reads like...

I started out much like it sounds where you are, looking at a Hammer A3 31 and similar sized Minimax; had a difficult time getting through some nagging robustness concerns and while thinking of a...

What model Honda generator - inverter type or no? There's a difference in how "clean" the power waveform is between the two; the Honda i series can run electronics.

These are small industrial brand collectors - anyone have experience with them? Thanks

You asked a specific question and even though it can sometimes be frustrating to see chiming in w/ a comment not addressing exactly what was stated - I've enjoyed the quality & customer service...

Another vote for Incra - steel ones w/ adjustments for slack take-up

After being impressed w/ Freud's Italian line of Fusion blades, we tried their LM74R010 rip blade - excellent results again.

I've read good things on the Wynn filters, including the Bill P. site, and they have a nice listing of conversion tips for various make machines on their site. With the intent to change to a Wynn,...

Is anyone using a 1 1/2 - 2 HP single bag dust collector of the brands noted? I'd appreciate feedback if so. After receiving a quote from Felder for the AF14, while I was ready to pony up for the...

So for those running a bagger system, what type of dust collector do you have attached to your J/P [or separates of this size]?

Thanks for the inputs. While it's possible to mobile mount a CV1800, it gets to be a fairly tall stack, certainly as opposed to the footprint of an AF22. Although we have that headroom available,...

Anyone have experience with either of these models? We have a new 16 in J/P combo, a Minimax FS41 Elite [great machine!] to add a dust collection system for. I'm looking for a point of use mobile...

With the addition of a jointer / planer we need something beyond the Fein Turbo II & Clearvue Minim combo being used on my son's Unisaw. It would be desirable for this to be a mobile point of use...

I appreciate the inputs folks - good points made all round and in a civil format to boot. Yes, this will be a one man shop application - we'll it's for my son starting out after university as he...

Thanks Robert. That type of input speaks exactly to the primary concern I have with this configuration - I'm not certainly knocking the machines in general because I see many good reviews on A3...

I considering a Hammer A3-41a jointer - yes, I know there are goods points for the combo machines but I want to put the delta cost of jointer vs. combo against a used 20 planer eventually. I'm in...

Ralph - I appreciate the clarification and will look forward to the photos. I've contacted Felder before had had some prompt responses from Fergus Cooke in the CA office; he provided some contacts...

Bonded table? Would you expand on this description? I'm considering the jointer only version of the A3-41, reserving the delta cost from the combo to apply toward a 20 inch planer. Being in the...
