Hi
I have bit of a dilemma and wondered what advice folk would give me
I have a Scheppach HM2 planer (Older model identical mechanically to HMS260 but slightly different stand) along with the TFE30 spindle moulder attachment for it and a 30mm bore cutter block. It is in good condition mechanically but a little tatty. It still gives an excellent finish as it has the rubber infeed roller.
The TFE30 can be seen on the NMA site below

However I also have a Record (Lurem) Former RD26 planer which is in absolutely brand spanking new condition. It doesn't give quite as good a finish as the scheppach especially on pine and softer hardwoods I guess due to the serated infeed roller.
I generally look around for woodworking machinery at keen prices and have recently acquired a virtually brand new axminster SSM spindle moulder (retails £1100) for £200 because it had a broken fence - new part from axminster £10.12
Anyway, to the point, now that I have a dedicated spindle moulder I don't need the TFE30 attachment, and at the same time I don't need two planers either.
So what should I do?
1) Sell the TFE30 and the Scheppach?
2) Sell the TFE30 and the Record?
Any advice?
Cheers
Robert
