Brett Wissel All Messages By This Member #114983 Thanks for the responses, gentleman, to add: Tom and Mike - I have a Festool Conturo and bought the table a year later which made small parts 100% more enjoyable to edgeband. After about 5 years now, the table has developed noticeable sag and misalignment must be corrected with an extra leg under the platform - it's one of the things I can't believe Festool missed in the engineering?they are usually so good about. And I've also heard that they won't honor the problem with a replacement top unless its within warranty period. BUT - it's a great unit, flexible use parameters, and works great esp alongside the MFK700 router, just limited in efficient productivity once volume increases. I don't ever see getting rid of it even with an upgrade?to a larger unit. David - I appreciate your remarks and use a similar technique with clamping thicker banding. I've become much more interested lately in setting up some of the centering profiles that self-align the banding boards from the slippery glue joint, but often I cheat with blue tape or a pinner to hold position. I had a cabinet shop down the street that was a great outsource, but like many of my outsourcing partners they've become to busy to help or they refuse because my shop has grown into their competition. David and Glen - I also don't want to buy more problems, but I thought "problems" was limited to outdated designs and used ragged out machines - not just service on new ones. Yikes. This changes my perception of value of a new machine for the worse. David, Glen, and Jason - I guess I'm in a awkward place or growing into larger projects but not consistent volume. Another machine type for which there isn't much middle ground I suppose. toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Tue, Mar 16, 2021 at 6:32 PM Glen Christensen <grchris1966@...> wrote: Brett, Interesting you post this, I am down to buying my last machines. Edgebander and Wide belt. Like you I donut want to buy used as There are too many unknowns. I have looked at a lot of wide belts at the AWFS and here the same things "ours are the best" and I keep looking because I don't know enough about them to make an educated decision. As with the Edge Bander my case is somewhat the same. I had a? Felder 330 on my order but pulled it off as my concern is more of how much time do I need to spend maintaining this if it only gets used every few weeks as would be in my case. I have looked at all, Handheld, small mini countertop models and the likes of the 330. I'm not even sure where to go except I think the hand held is out do to my shaky hands. I would like to find something that is reasonably priced and that end trims and flush trims, which I believe takes out all the bench tops so I may be back to something of the 330. I need to really dig into how much time spent on glue pots and maintenance.? For now I continue doing it the old fashioned way with the iron and hand trimmers but it is getting old. I look forward to following this conversation as it will also help me to make a decision on which way to go. Glen Alpine Moulding and Millwork Inc. Mail: ?? P.O. Box 257 ??????????

Like wide belt sanders, there seems to be a lot of danger in buying bad apples in ex factory auctions and otherwise secondhand I'd prefer to avoid.
