If Marius Hornberger can fit a Hammer K3 Basic into his tiny workshop and Alex Harris can fit an Axy into his garage, I think the reason we don't have a market is a lack of competitive prices! As someone else noted in this thread (or was it elsewhere on the board), companies are selling the...

Glad to see I'm not alone in these thoughts. I am a hobby woodworker who will never make a living or return from my tool investments. Paying ~GBP 1,200 for a "premium" saw bench who's reviews all complain about poor dust extraction; blade accuracy issues when raising and lowering the height of...
