    If I had a garage shop, I'd probably go for european combo machines. They're just too big to get down the stairs to my shop.
    If you trust Rod's word don't bother with Euro machines (see my sig below) and he should know as he owns them...
    Of all the laws Brandolini's may be the most universally true.

    Deep thought for the day:

    Your bandsaw weighs more when you leave the spring compressed instead of relieving the tension.

    Well, I'm old enough to not blindly trust many people at this point. But I do have General tools and a european bandsaw, so Rod's view seemed to be safe to agree with...





    Where did I put that tape measure...

    I think one of you guys who wants American made woodworking tools should put together a business plan, scrounge up some funding and build them yourself. You can start by designing a decent drill press, jointer or planer.

    ...yeah, no one else thinks they can afford to do that either.
