Scheppach Combo saw - good or bad?

[TonyPolony]

Hi

I'm an amateur / hobbyist in need of a table saw. It just so happens that I also need a spindle, planer and thicknesser.
I cannot find any reviews of this Scheppach HK600 combo machine, I believe it's also sold as a Woodster in Europe.

Any advice? Is it good quality or cheap imitation? It sells for about £950

Looks like an interesting machine. Don't have any experience with it, but gut feeling says there is too much compromise here for each function on the machine to be good.

There are probably excellent saw/planer/spindle moulder machines out there but they will be made by the likes of Felder/hammer and run into the thousands.

Probably better served by something like a Axy TS200 + Metabo thickness planer + cheap router in a home made table if £1k is your budget.

You can then upgrade each one as you need without having to get rid of the whole thing...

Just my thoughts
