i have one, it's a decent enough machine and if teamed with a power feed you can get good results, never had any problems with mine but i did bin the speed indicator rig from day 1 as i was told it some times came loose and fouled the belt drive, where are you based? if anywhere near to gainsborough lincs your welcome to come see mine and try it out, Mark

dusty dave just started a post on spindle moulders in this section, i think someone posted in that about having one for sale, yes i have a sliding table as yes for end grain work like counter profiles for cabinet doors its a must in my opinion, Mark
