Well I was thinking I might get it and make a nice long table for it outta or hardwood or steel.

So...

What are the little jointers like? ...doesn't Robyn have one...

Waddya think of my idea?

I wouldn't buy it.... making extensions that rise and fall accurately would be apita ..Gasweld has a 6inch one a little bit dearer but has a long bed.. I have one and it works good

have never had a problem with mine have had it for four years now, only thing like most carbatk stuff is tighten all the bolts and screws up, i think they have a four year old doing the assembling, and change the screws that hold the blades in to good quality ones,better to do it first than after when the allan heads strip, but apart from that they are a good little machine. bob
