Understanding that owwm might be a better place to go for this question...
I have an appointment to look at a Boice Crane 1400 Jointer in the morning. It has been restored by the current owner and looks gorgeous. My fear is that the manual says it is 36", is that too short to be useful? Does being belt-driven and on an enclosed steel stand make it superior to a modern benchtop model?
I just want some assurance I won't feel like I made a mistake in the near future.
