I buy my cutters with limiters from Carbatec and for 40mm I recall they are less than $50. Making brackets and fitting the power feed was a little tricky but the end result was fine. There is no way I would ever return to hand feed on my MiniMax CU300 both for safety as well as for the better finish power feed can give. I do a lot of large board joining and often use a CMT cutter set in the spindle moulder to cut a 6mm slot along each edge then use strips of 6mm ply as a joiner. Of course I also use a biscuit cutter where necessary but I do find The spindle set up yields a flatter join especially in longer boards.

Hi Paintman

Thanks for the feedback, I think it will be awhile before I use the spindle moulder as I need the cutter and power feed sorted, too busy with the current setup as I only had my Robland NX410 for 2 weeks and in desperate need to reorganise my workshop/shelvings/bench meanwhile trying to make stuff to order...
