only he has modifyed it for the turning tools you just take the straight edge of & place the water tank & blade jig back on

While we are looking for these machines, has anyone got a review of their worth. My mate Ray, you know Ray don't you? Well my mate Ray says that they are too slow and he hasn't got the time to stand around sharpening his blades on something so slow.

Please give what advice you feel worthy as I do use my thicknesser and joiner on timber that is a bit rough.

Thanks BB

As Ben Franklinn once said "I have not made 10,000 mistakes, I have just proved 10,000 methods that do not work".

Dear Peter
The old add would have been for a YF-6 we now sell the YF-624 which has a larger blade carrier also a small blade holder a drill sharpening jig a diamond dresser and a wider base for more stability they are out of stock at the moment

The reply to my question to Timbecom is as above, whether it makes the $600 price tag more viable is yet to be proved.

I am presuming the diamond dresser is included in the price, as is the smaller blade holder. The email indicates that, do you agree?
