Brett,
Yes, that is Joe Calhoon's shop. You can find Joe in lots of youtube videos from Range youtube channel?

James,?
Thanks for the feedback - I suppose a better way to say it is: If I get one, I'd rather have as much support as possible to handle such items as large oversize doors. The machines with small sliding tables I've seen have?not had the support capabilities.
Love the video, that's Joe Calhoon's shop, right?? I love the slide-out support extension on that machine but definitely don't have the expertise or opinions on these higher-echelon shapers and welcome it!
Why do you want a large sliding table for the oversized door?? Martin makes the best sliding table, and they do not put it on their shaper, this tells you something.
Check the following youtube video.
Also, the flagship Format 4 profil 92 emotion from Felder does not have the sliding table either.

All,?
I am considering the cost/value proposition of investing in a shaper setup that has automated programmable?setup capacities (or more?). I am curious what your recommendations may be for shopping brands, models,? and options. I'm becoming less convinced that a used machine will show up on the market as I've been looking for a while and what I've seen has pretty much only been Joe in N.O.'s Profile45, but admittedly I was looking for a larger sliding table to run oversized door setups, and I'm not totally convinced the Felder offerings are the only ones I should be looking at.?
Currently I'm invested in the 700z-class of shaper and not sure I'd want to give them up. I'd even consider putting on an upgraded fence module that can give me the automatic adjustments, but not sure if it is possible or if I can do it feasibly compared to adding another machine.?
With tedious manual setup inefficiencies switching back and forth on small projects I'm assessing the opportunity cost of all those nickels and dimes per se.
