    Thumbs up

    G'day Bluegum30,

    The one question might be to ask yourself, is 5" enough for what you want to do?

    Other than that, Paul Call are very reliable pieces of machinery. I've got an old Paul Call 6" jointer and it's never not had a problem in its daily running or what I've asked of it. IMO they're as strong as all get out, so I'd go for it.
    I make things, I just take a long time.

    Default band saw

    first up i bought the paul call band saw and after a good clean it is as i said no damage and runs good, the place i got it at is a tradeing post for just about anything.i did make an error in the discription of the cutting capacity,it has a 12.5 inch wide cut by 5 inch deep hope that is how you say it.
    and thanks to Waldo for the push as one of my vices is procrastination.
    Lloyd.

    G'day Waldo. I just bought a 6 inch Paul Call jointer & table saw, and it's missing the springs to hold the jointer blades. Would you know where I could find them?

    Thanks,

    Jayden
