    In this neck o' the woods, they typically go for around $750, plus or minus depending on condition and extras included. I'd say that given the lack of a mobile base or extra knives, shoot for the...

    The DJ-15 is a parallelagram setup, basically a smaller version of the DJ-20. Each corner of the table is adjustable by rotating the cam on the pivot arms. Chances are there are 2 set screws...

    This probably won't help, but here 'tis anyway: I don't know if you'll find any router bits that meet your criteria, but I do know that Freud, and maybe others, make some shaper cutters designed for...

    When I bought my MM-20, I sold the 14" Jet bandsaw that I had, figuring I wouldn't need it any longer. I then discovered, much like your seller, that the big MM doesn't do well with small blades and...

    I have to agree that the smaller machines are likely to be limited - too little power and tables are too small. The 3hp, 3/4" spindle minimum is a good place to start - pretty much any of the...

    Gregory, I've been kinda shopping for the same - please post an update with your impressions of the Laguna when you can. I'd shied away from it because of the bad comments I'd heard, but perhaps...

    Yep Matt, it's the same as the one I finished up last month. While I'm a big believer in the "no such thing as too much power" theory, the 3/4hp motor is pretty standard for those lathes and likely...

    Matt, that's a darned good deal - the swing arm on the banjo alone is worth $75-$100. RE: the gap - Delta made a filler piece that bolted in and eliminated the gap. I've yet to see one for sale,...
