I originally was going to get the 931 I think it was, and comparing the 931 to the 941, the build was better, table easier to lift and it was 1k more at that time. I am not sure if the 951 was out yet but had to draw the line somewhere.

I was told by David B and others back then to get separates if possible and I did not. I should have listened and did not.. I seriously regret not doing so now. I can assure you that there is a stand alone planer very near in my future.

I stepped up in machines from where I started looking at the entry level Felders. I believe it was the KF700 and ended up with a Kappa 400 and the profil 45. It was A big step up , but I knew enough not to go cheap and regret it.

That being said I am very happy with the machines including the 941, And yes I have some issues but I am going to put a lot of that on the operator. I haven't done much programming and presetting up cutterheads and blades yet but I think I did it a few times and just can't remember what I did.

Bottom line is buy what you really want, You only cut that check once. Or maybe end up disappointed in your choices. I am in that case for not getting separates as I was advised to do.

One more thing, Don't gloss over the options while some are not cheap some are. There were a lot of options that I really thought I did not need but turned out that are great to have. Also Felder does do a preset machine build with a lot preset options lower than the cost of said machine and added options. The machine is not actually built so you can add more stuff if you want. That was the path I took and added to and was a better price had I started from scratch.
