    There are about 3 or 4 on ebay at present. Haven't been in lately but Just Tools in South Melb had a 3 phase and a single phase (both new) on display about 8 months ago. New from about 2.5k

    Hereward,
    I have professional SawMaster lying idle, I got it at auction when a local Furniture maker closed,
    PM me for other details if you are interested, Only reason for selling is I now have a sliding panel saw.

    Default Radial Arm

    Hello, I am a beginner and have come to the conclusion I will be better off with a sliding panel saw. What brand did you buy? Carbatec has one with a router hole built in but it is not a slider. What about Felder?

    Thanks again.

    have a look at the torque work center. It might meet your needs I have one and so far has exceeded all my expectations will cut down a full sheet of mdf or ply with ease then by changing the configuration you can build whatever from start to finish
    Some people are like slinkies - not really good for anything, but they
    bring a smile to your face when pushed down the stairs .

    Hereward,
    I have a Hammer K3 Comfort, cost is around the $7000 mark. I sugest you look around before deciding, there are some bargain Combinations around. Quality may cost a bit more up front but pays off very quickly, works out being cheaper in the long run.
