I have decided to pull the trigger on a combo machine and narrowed my choice between the Minimax CU300 or the Hammer C3-31. I wanted to see if anyone has recently been through the same decision process and if so what way the went and why.
My thoughts so far from all the posts and reviews I've read is the Minimax is a bit more robust and heavy duty. I've heard the Hammer is more comparable to the Minimax Lab300. Minimax is more expensive. Hammer has better value with the great pricing on the anniversary package. I've seen lots of positive reviews on the Hammer.
I'm a serious hobbiest so it won't be in a professional shop. But do want this to be a 20 plus year tool.
Amy words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated.
