I'm very tempted to splash-out on a Nova Voyager but would prefer to see one "in the flesh" before making the commitment. The dealers are too far away so I wondered whether there is anyone within a reasonable distance of Herefordshire who has one and would be prepared to let me see it for a...

Are there any courses that give an intro to Spindle Moulder set-up and use? I've recently acquired a Felder combi with a tilting Spindle and would like to be taught the safe way to operate and how to get the most out of it - to remove some of my unknown unknowns. Dave

I'm looking for a second hand combi machine with planer, thicknesser and saw functions; anything else (e.g. spindle) is a bonus. What should I be looking for? Dave
