I speak with annotated photos here. ?
I am not a fan of flip-up table style jointers, especially when the tables are wider than 12". ?I¡¯ve owned three now, all 20¡± width, and they are complex to align, and the cam-elevation system that replaced the parallelogram system in the mid-2000¡¯s has proven to be less reliable in maintaining alignment. ?If I were buying a jointer today, I would strongly consider the Felder AD951L or the Plan 51L since neither of these jointers have flip-up tables. ?All the other jointers in the Felder line-up have flip-up tables - even the smaller stand alone jointers. ?I would also be looking seriously at the SCM equipment, specifically the Nova f 410 or 520: ??

Stan,
good info and thanks!? It seems there is a trend with the bigger beds on the 41 it is trickier to get them co-planer.? I have heard from several people that the 12" is a piece of cake but even though they love the capacity of the 41 some have had problems and maybe even had to pay to have a tech come in.? I would love to hear some details from owners of both sizes.? thanks again
