[QUOTE="Nelly111s, post: 1541777, member: 26929"] Here's a picture of my A3-41 as delivered in January last year. [ATTACH type="full"]125984[/ATTACH] The pallet just fits a normal sized pallet truck into the end. I've had this one year. I plane 95% olive wood which is hard and has "crazy" grain in places. I use it every other day on average, although some days it almost the whole day. I haven't turned the blades yet. On average I was using a set of HSS blades every 2-3 months on the old thicknesser, so "in big handfuls" one side of the carbide tips is at least as good as 5 knife sets, in my usage. So, for me, it's not only a cost saving, but time, too. It is a lot quieter than the 3-knife TH410 thicknesser which it replaced. I also got the DRO. I bought via a rep. (NW England). He took me to see an A3-31 in action and I took a piece of olive to plane - this. was at a joiners near Lancaster. I'm sure the Felder rep can arrange something similar (COVID permitting). [/QUOTE]
