Hi Joel, I¡¯ve enjoyed reading along with this post. Would you care to share some pics of your new machines? As they say, a picture tells a thousand words!?

Re: Alternative to Infinity Tools in USA
I use Whitehill most frequently.? International shipping takes a couple days from shipment to my door and doesn't break the bank. The website shows stocking levels and when to expect shipping -- very helpful.

I would spring for the pump lube. There are several oil nipples on the planer and a pain to do with the hand pump they supply.

Please don't ever tell me how much you saved buying the two machines used : )? ?This is the lubricator from the catalog recommended by Martin. Not the waxilit version this is for the machine itself not material feeding.?  Jay Bowen Cleveland

Re: Alternative to Infinity Tools in USA
I ordered products from Infinity Tools a few times before, never had issues?with them.
Call them and ask to speak with their manager or boss, and request the refund.

Yeah. I should have gone with them in the first place.
From Infinity i got the rail/style kit. the deep tennon kit. and the raise panel stuff for $3,000. Which is about half as much as the same stuff from Rangate. But obviously, now I see why. I dont know how any professional, or anyone who has clients to keep happy, can order from Infinity.?

I ordered about $3,000 worth of cutter heads and knives from Infinity Tools to help with a door project I have. I placed the order back on January 10th. They still have not sent the completed order to me and every time I call to ask they tell me its back ordered and will be shipped in two weeks. Obviously when I call two weeks later, they tell me "it will now be shipped in two more weeks".
Anyway, I'm pretty sure I just got scammed out of $3k. Which obviously sucks. But honestly at this point I just need to get the tooling to finish the project.?
Anyone know of a more trustworthy website where I can order cutter heads for rail/style door making kits? I would like to avoid router bits and instead use shaper cutter heads. But honestly at this point I would take anything just so i can make progress on this project.

Re: planer power drive height adjustment?
Another idea is to move the bed 20mm when you shut down. Then hit reset after you power up if it doesn't say 20mm.

I purchased those machines, and sold my TP-300 within 24 hours of placing it up for sale. ?I have known the dealer you are referring to for many years. ?It is not often that these become available recent model without too much use, and although the timing was not perfect, I found a way to make it happen as I did not think I would have that situation ever again. ?Now that I have them, I feel very fortunate, and while I did not "need" them, it is so much nicer and faster to process wood with separates, and I hope to have them until I can't do woodworking any more. Personally, I would not get the folding planer infeed extension at this time, especially if you can confirm it can be easily added at a later time. ?I do not think you need support when feeding, but up to you. ?However, on the outfeed side, I think the 1500MM permanently fixed is very nice, especially if you use the "space saving configuration". ?It moves up and down with the table in a way that the wood always clears the overhanging jointer fence that protrudes behind the jointer. ?When you are feeding, nice to know you can feed multiple pieces or longer pieces, and they will not fall off the outfeed end.? As for the Waxilit auto lubricator, maybe depends on your usage. ?For me, I like the Renaissance along with the Festool green Flies pads. As an FYI, it is my understanding that you can't get the Waxilit table and the infeed fold-down together. ?One or the other. ?You may want to confirm that with the dealer. ?For me, I got the Waxilit I did not want, and that is of course the tradeoff for used, but for me it was worth it to not get everything exactly as I would have preferred due to the cost savings of used local over new. ? I know a couple of people who have their machines against the wall and 1 that does not, and I think it is way nicer if you can have room to talk ?behind the planer (opposite the jointer) assuming you have them together. ?I moved a lot of things around to have that footprint, and am very happy I did that. ? All personal preferences of course. ?Congratulations. ?
