    I guess it depends on condition and savings. New $1000 tool here adds another $100 in tax. Like new with no tax, maybe. Supply and demand in the local market will determine the price. I...

    I have three 6" Festool sanders and no 5" sander. I believe the larger the sanding pad the flatter the surface. For tighter areas I use a small Festool rectangular sander. I would want the square...

    why would one spring joint 3/32" stock? My jointer is dialed in, no need to ever spring joint a board, certainly not veneer. How would you put enough clamp pressure on to close a spring joint?

    I have a 12" jointer and a 12" planer and I don't run glued up panels through the planer. IMHO that 12" PM is way better than most modern 20" planers. If I were going to upgrade I'd watch for a 20"...
