Thanks to everyone for the replies! At this stage, I'm definitely hoping for best value. Maybe years down the road I can gather the funding for the best of the best. I'm going to see if I can afford

Brandon, As one of the first three students to attend the Alpine class I can say that meeting Ultimate Joe Calhoon and seeing/using his shop was a huge learning opportunity. Meeting Greg for the first

I attended last year and found it very useful and fun … met some nice folks and learned a number of things about using various tools - focused on the shaper but Joe had us using a number of tools. I

I am considering joining the Alpine Workshop Advanced Joinery class in April. I'd like to know if you guys think this will be a worthwhile investment of time. If you've been, would you recommend it?

Pleasure David. Yes, we are agreed. I’ve had the reciprocating piston for about 3 years now — it might have slipped your mind — and financially very disappointing. The sales persons (across many

?David, Ecap is just a shorthand. I am not sure if it is understood universally but hopefully obvious due to the context. On 3 phase Felder machines, one needs to hold the switch for just a bit for

David, I do have pictures...? There was a period of time I had a perpetual scab on my rt shin at that exact height. PK

Nederman s1000 over here and it is a freakin beast. And very quiet. They now have an autoclean option for the filters. Additionally, it has been copied and potentially improved by Preston Machinery.

Thanks Lucky. Good info. You and I completely agree about your summary points, namely: Felder machinery represent excellent value, not excellent machines The Kappa 400 x-motion is a beautiful slider

Hi David (et al.): I wasn’t sure whether to chime in because the OP was asking questions about drum sanders and whether the RL160 would be adequate for that. But thanks for the encouragement as I

Joe, You reminded of another key aspect of electrolytic capacitors. Reputable manufacturers design these caps for 1000, 5000 & 10000 hrs of life. This life is only guaranteed for a set of conditions.

“Shin crushing experience” - I guess that says it all. LOL David Best DBestWorkshop@... https://www.flickr.com/photos/davidpbest/collections/ https://www.youtube.com/@David_Best

I second that with Mark Kessler

David (Lucky) Luckensmeyer should chime in on this. He has a large WB with an RL-200 or 250 if memory serves. His dust extractor takes an enormous amount of compressed air. Lucky? David Best

Ah…okay. ?? Thx

I did lose a start cap on my 2000 CF731p. But only once in the 15 years I had it. It was a big deal to get a new one and replace it. Joe in New Orleans

Hi guys Thanks for the explanation Imran. Well, I hadn't heard an Electrolytic Capacitor referred to as an Ecap previously, but I was surprised to read further down the thread these start caps are

An update on the Ecaps - ones in the machine are from china, the ones they shipped me are from romania. Perhaps sourcing trouble during covid. Edit: update for prospective future buyers, I know I

The information about the ECAPS is very interesting. As a hobby user, I have equipment I don’t use very often, sometimes for a year or more. How often should I run those motors to keep the

Most sanders will have a CFM requirement listed in the manual. Cyclones help but aren't really designed for fine dust so some will get to the filters. If you plan to do much sanding, it is worthwhile
