Steven,
Understood. I am just surprised that people close to Dallas area have not bought it
Btw, what you said Felder CF731 is for processing sheet goods is incorrect.
CF731 can certainly process hardwood, it is a slider, a shaper, a jointer and a planer. There are lots of threads talking about what you can do with the slider.
SC4 Elite is a slider too.
Both SCM and Felder make excellent machines, they are competitors. I am sure you will be happy with SC4 Elite.
