I just placed an order with Fergus Cooke at Felder's office in Sacramento for a Hammer B3 Comfort Sliding table saw/shaper. 79" slider, tilting shaper spindle, etc. I receive the machine in January when my new shop is ready.
Meanwhile I would like to take advantage of their pre-holiday sale in December to purchase some accessories and tooling for both the saw and shaper. Already on the list are:
Already on the list are Power Feeder and tilting bracket, mobility kit, eccentric clamp for sliding table
What are your preferences preference for blades and dado head?
Being shaper neophyte I am especially interested to hear what users prefer for shaper tooling. Insert head, rabbeting? grooving? tongue and groove?
Are there certain accessories you feel are a "must have"?
Has the 5" dust port been sufficient to do the job?
Any user comments are greatly appreciated.
Thank you, Glenn
