True combo machines that will also handle a full size panel take you into some fairly heavy duty machinery. Most have 240 volt as an option. Hammer have a C3 31 for $8,250.00 with spindle moulder plus some for the table extension and a slot morticer. Robland and Minimax also combo machines at or near similar prices. Use google or try http://www.hammer.at/. or http://www.homag.com.au/Enquiries.html or http://www.hareandforbes.com.au/sample_2/home.php
I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "bore"??
I don't know if Carbatec or Timbecon have any such machines but many manufacturer's have an over/under planer/thicknesser combo. An under/over plus a tablesaw would be a cheaper option with the asian manufactured machines.
Hope this helps

There is an entry level combination unit 240 v made by Dyco and called by that name going for around $1500 was on display at the recent Perth WW show.
Ability to saw and plane also with router table facility...I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for but it is as said an entry level machine.
I've a Mini-Max had it for a number of years now ...got it second hand off of a dealer I know in the business and this could be an avenue that you could persue that is by checking out the used machine option and saving yourself some serious $$$$.
There are of course a lot of combinations around these days that cater to the 240v supply end of the market so you have to really do your homework.
some of the combinations available are
Leda
Hammer
Rojek
Robland
Mini-Max
Felder
Dyco
Pacemaker ?...I'm not too sure whether Durden in S.A. are still in production.
I think I have covered most of them but a search by you will undoubtedly discover the requirements and pricing structure.

I was told by a machine merchant that a combination machine is worth more than the sum of it's parts. In other words, that you pay more than you would buying separate machines and you also lose power and quality in the process.
Of course you gain space. IS this true?
My first machine ever, that I used when I was ... hum probably 12 or 13 was an american combo machine, brand escapes me, that would plane, thickenss, saw, mortise and spindle, (horizontaly). The shop managed to make reproduction furniture with it rather well, but I remember the thicknessing side and the spindle to be very basic. Hum and the saw was small, the mortiser hum,well I wouldn't buy it today. I'd rather enlarge the workshop.“We often contradict an opinion for no other reason

I would say Marc that with due respect the machinery merchant is having a big lend of you at todays prices. MiniMax, Robland, Hammer and Felder all have combos which are around 1/3 to 1/2 the cost of the sum of individual machines. Case in point a BB member recently got a planer thicknesser combo (2 in 1) for 7 K. The same brand 4 in 1 is only a bit over 8k and in the same range 4 individual machines hit almost 20K.
The downside is a combo can only be worked by one person at a time. You can get individual machines for cheaper if you sacrifice quality. It depends what you are after.Squizzy
