    No problem. The bigger handles and faces on the new Bessey K body's allow me to apply enough torque to near-starve a joint. They've been up to every challenge I've thrown at them.

    Best? It better be the Sawstop 3hp PCS 52" that just arrived. I wonder who will be its best owner?

    Rereading the earlier thread, a good option is rehabbed plane from a reputable rehabber. I wonder:

    - Are Clint and Sandy still out there?
    - Does anyone have another trusted source?

    My local shop helped with a test. They have a 52" ICS with matching base, which should be more stable than the PCS. We simply set my cast iron router table on top of the far right end of their...
