Hi all.
i'm new here. Been watching and reading for a while now, finally decided to say hello.
Been working with wood for about fifteen years now as a hobby and sometimes with work.
Anyway recently I have been looking to buy a combination machine. I was looking at a robland machine but the smallest size machine only had one speed on the spindle moulder. The next size up had three speeds but was getting a bit big for my workshop.
I went to Axminster tools just to look at the AWC4, I had no intention of buying it cause I was not sure of the quality. But when I seen what it had to offer I was well impressed.
The sliding table was free runing and not at all flimsy.
Ther rise and fall mechinism on the spindle moulder was very positive and felt like quality.
My main requirement was a good size surface planer. The planer on the combi, just like the saw table, is cast iron as is the fence. It is a good size as well.
