Well, I finally decided on which model J/P I'm purchasing. And it wasn't even one that I had initially given any thought to.
To get a price quote on the Hammer, I had to register. This registration led them to calling me and offering me some free passes to the upcoming New England Wood Expo. That led to us talking about me purchasing one of the models they will have on display there. And then came a great offer which I couldn't refuse.

So...come May 3rd, I'll be the proud owner of a Hammer A3-31
[end gloat]
If anyone else is planning on attending the show, keep your paws off my stuff and no drool!
I also ordered the digital handwheel, an extension table, and an extra set of knives. I was going to order the dust collection elbow for use in planer mode, but the sales rep said it was an expensive ($50) option that wasn't really necessary. What he did say I needed was a 120mm to 4" reducer. He recommended nordfab.com or airhand.com but I couldn't find it on either of the sites and they are both closed today.
So for those of you that have Euro machines, what do you use to adapt the 120mm port?
Be well,
Doc
