This year I'm planning on going solo on a custom cabinets and woodworks shop. my current plan is to get a european style combo at first then move up to stand alone machines. at first i had considered getting a full stand alone slider right off the bat so with price point in consideration I took at the asian sliders, but i can't seem to find much solid info on their reputation. manufactures claim that their machines are made in asian plants that make capable quality output comparable or equal to the saws made for the likes of powermaic and such (please correct me if am wrong because i haven't been able to confirm this for my self with solid information) the sliders in this bracket include grizzly, accura, panther machinery and the altendorf wa 8 (I am sure there are others I don't know about). Now, for what I understand the asian manufacturers are very capable if they are paid the right-amount for their product but I just can't justify buying one of those machine because I just can't get any reliable information on their reputations. the European machines on the other hand are a different story. so far in the area of slider combos the clear choices for me are the minimax cu300 with all the goodies and the robland nlx31, but I can't decide between the two because I haven't found any rave reviews on the nlx31.
Has anybody hard good things about he robland nlx31?
