The Hammer Jointer / Planers seem to be really popular right now, but I don't see as much written about the Minimax equipment. I felt like it would be useful for others considering these combo machines to hear a bit more about the Minimax. I made my decision based on several factors. Everything about the Minimax seemed top notch. Minimax's USA headquarters are just a few miles from my house. And most importantly, Eric Loza (a SMC member) was quick to answer all of my questions. I just got the machine up and running, but everything seems perfect right out of the box.

For the complete, initial review check out my blog post: Minimax FS30 Initial Setup and Review

I'll follow this up with a more thorough review in the following weeks. Let me know if you have any questions about the machine.
