Robland X-31 - 12" jointer, planer, mill, table saw, shaper, mortiser.. Cool machine. $ 2,500. Not mine.

http://norfolk.craigslist.org/tls/866093081.html


I met this gentleman selling the Robland X-31 today. I bought his 1HP Grizzly dust collector for $ 50. He's a great guy. Showed me some of his work. He's had recent health issues and is getting out of woodworking. I had heard of the Robland machines but have never seen one. Like a lot of guys, I'm too invested in individual machines to go for the Robland, but for someone with space issues looking for a very capable combination machine, this might be the ticket.

I agree Andy, it is definitely a cool machine and well powered. There is a ton of information posted by another owner at this site:

Re: Robland X-31 for sale, Virginia Beach

Was it an older one with the cast iron slider (usually green) or one of the newer (usually white-painted) ones with an aluminum slider?

It was green. He had it covered in an old quilt, and lifted up the quilt to show me the 12" jointer/planer section of it. I didn't see more than that, but it was definitely green, and it looked very clean.
