Thank you very much for the information. I was looking at the WDS-400-B, $869, not the deluxe WDS-400-C at $1099. According to the description there isn't much in it apart from an aluminum engine, better stand and bigger dust extraction. It's not a machine I'll use every day so unless there is a reason to spend the extra $230...
I want it for thicknessing guitar plates and final light thicknessing of bench tops and stuff. I only take very light cuts < 1mm. I just feel a machine which is able to take a wide cut will help me get stuff finally flat. Or am I totally wrong on this ?
I guess I should post this question elsewhere, sorry.
Back on the show, would anyone care to meet at a certain time/day/place to put faces to the forum names ?

I suspect I will be there Saturday. Last year didn't expect any big purchases but still spent $700-800 - so easy done got some good stuff but.
This year I definitely want that bandsaw jig for making chairs - starting with an outdoor setting. I think it was about $400. Will squizz about for new and interesting gadgets and timber - especially like the Tassie timbers.
Next year I want the big drum sander - I think about 900mm wide about $2400 but don't know the show is the best time as the carbatec sale is on the week or so before as always. Don't know what's best - there never seems a huge savings but hey 10% is something.
I did one year buy a dewalt radial arm saw from Glenfords for a show special $100 off only to find a week after the show but they put out a catalogue and it was another $100 less - I haven't bought anything from them since. But that's me.Cheers

It's just around the corner now, only 65 days to go. Pity its a leap year or it would have only been 64.
Reality is no background music.

Friday is the day the that the school kids go, if there is something that you want from one of the stands that you want to snap up the demo model, Friday is the day to go.
Saturday is busy with the people who work Friday but not Saturday.
Sunday has the tourists & bargin hunters, the bargin hunters hang around things that they have their eye on after lunch Sunday in the hope that they will score it cheap 'cos the stall holder doesn't want to load it.
If you wear you cap & visit the Ubeaut Stand you will find some of the forum members.
There is also an informal meeting time at the coffe stand around 10 (I think) but it gets narrowed down closer to the time.
I am working hard to be there this year.Cliff.
