Hello Folks
First off, I am not a woodworker but my husband enjoys the tinkering. We are located in the island of Grenada in the Caribbean where everything has to be imported.
He is looking to buy this: Kity Bestcombi-2000 Universal Woodworker (6 function) including Morticer 230volt
He asked me to look up reviews for it on the web but all I have been able to find out is that it was original a French make and now taken over by the Chinese or Japanese. Also, that parts are near impossible to get.
My feeling is that a machine that combines so many things will mean that each individual 'thing' will not be very satisfactory.
Easily available parts are a very important aspect as they will definitely not be available here in Grenada.
So, with all of that in mind, can you all please advise me on what he should be buying. He will use it to make stuff like garden furniture, lattice screens, above ground garden beds and no doubt will want to try other stuff. We use a lot of hardwood over here ie greenheart, purple heart, mahogany as there are lots of termites around.
I would prefer if he would do some combination and some individual machines.
And NO, I do not control what he buys and I am definitely for him getting his toys! He works hard and deserves to have his toys!
