Got some P O R N in the mail...
I got the latest Carba-tec catalogue in the mail today. They now stock Powermatic tools. Drum sanders for $5499, wood lathes for $8299!

Saw them in person recently, and whilst I would not knock one back, was not overly impressed. They are beyond my budget.

...ahhh yup...went to their Powermatic launch, was not overly impressed.
I bought a Powermatic 15" Helical Head Thicknesser from Gregories Machinery some 18 months ago for $3300.
They are now $4199, great machine but not worth that sticker price.

At $4195 European machines are in the same price range, I guess that PM won't be in the Carbatec catalogue for long.

Got my 8" jointer for $1800 from Major woodworking 10 years ago. Expensive but it is a bloody good piece of work. I love it.

.
I see the Powermatic 25" drum sander is listed as 5HP single phase. Is this correct? Can 5 horses be run on 240v 1ph?

I also noticed the apparent price jump across a lot of lines in the catalog, not just the Powermatic/Jet stuff. I wonder if they were trying to get in before the Reserve Bank started trying to sink the Aussie dollar?
