Re: Recommended pedestal drill press
Did powermatic not sell there? I've been on the same hunt in the US and ended up finding a 70s era powermatic 1200 3phase. For woodworking I'll overdrive it.

Re: Felder f700 vs Jet 5hp shaper
I ended up buying a Freeborn insert set. Was actually $100 cheaper than the Byrd!
Any chance you can tell what is the power feeder bolt pattern on the f700?

I'll second your comments, regarding the N4400. I've had mine for approximately 5 years, and consider it good value for the money paid.? I've put a lot of hard mileage on it.

Re: New Hammer N440 or Used/like new Minimax S45N
Matt, I have had my N4400 for about 15 years. I cannot comment how it compares with much else as my previous bandsaw was a generic Taiwanese 14", and really forgetable. The N4400 has been utterly

Re: New Hammer N440 or Used/like new Minimax S45N
The same problem exists on my 2016 FB510 bandsaw, very poor design for a

Today, the list price

Lucky,
One more data point for you: my Hammer machine (mid-2021) also uses the same system as that shown by John on his Felder unit.
