Dennis-
I imagine the x31 is a fine machine for many people. Comparing the two machines however is a classic example of getting what you pay for. The x31 is a good machine, the felder is excellent if not the best, with far more features, options, and capabilities. As with any tool, serious people should always get the best they can afford. For some, the extra cost of the felder is worth it, even as amateurs. As a professional, it is most certainly worth it to me even though as a woodworker, money is never floating around. As daunting as the price tag was, I knew the felder was the only smart option for a professional. Sure enough, I'm thrilled with it, even after coming from a shop full of seperate (lesser) machines. Knapp came out after I ordered my machine, and obviously I would have considered it. All I know of it is from their ads and web site. My impression is that while it may be more massive than the felder, it doesn't appear to be as refined. At anyrate, I'd be curious to see one. You should know if you don't already, that felders don't take dadoe blades.
Happy mulling,

What I would like to know, are for those individuals who owned or were
knowledgeable with the Robland X31, and traded or sold it that replaced
it with a Felder machine. I currently own a X31, and want to know what
differences there are between the two companies products. What pros and
cons comparing the two products? Partially, are there features on the
X31 that you would wish for on the Felder? Is the Felder much, much
better in some other area? Secondly, is anyone familiar with Laguna
Tools new "Signature Line" of combo machines made by Knapp? Laguna is
billing them out as the best, cost no object. They appear to be very
close in appearance with the Felder machines. So any information would
be appreciated. Thank you.
Happy shop-ping,
Dennis L. Jacob
