When you get into Martin type quality of planer design, Tersa vs Spiral is more about dust collection than finish quality.? Tersa excels on a top end machine, Spiral compensates for design compromises.? You do need more cfm on your DC with Tersa for sure.?

Thanks for the input on the cutter block selection. Rough cost is +$4k per machine for spiral over Tersa which breaks the bank if I didn't already.? Joel if you bought your machines recently there was an ad in California where a guy had both machines for
one year and listed on woodweb by the dealer.? I reached out to the seller (dealer) and I didn't even get a reply back. That's pretty much been my experience with that same dealer when I was looking at a T65C.? Too bad I couldn't find these machines used!??
For the jointer I bought standard bed which is going to be good for me. The planer has options for collapsible 450MM infeed and outfeed tables or 1500MM permanently fixed I did not opt for either but thinking of adding the smaller extensions.? The Martin rep
suggested I get the auto lubricator for the machine I don't have much else for options. Good to know on that roller only an owner would know small things like that make a big difference.?
