What do you know and what do you think. And why is there such a variation in price? I'm working on my letter to Santa!

I have seen several in action, but I've never used one myself. I like the looks of their machines, they seem to be well made and accurate. I think the major reason for the variation in price is one, the quantity of these machines that are sold, and two, the larger the retailer, the more they have in stock(usually) and the better the price they can offer it at (usually). One thing I would look into before I purchased one of these is the setup time needed between operations. If I have to take alot apart and adjust alot of variables, then I am less likely to use the machine next time! Hope this helps!

Where can I see one of these in action? Did you see them at a store or was it a show?
Thanks,
Joe

I believe it was at the Charlotte woodworking show.

Glad I could help. That user group is a great place to get info. If I remember correctly, www.woodrat.com used to have videos of the machine being used, I'm not sure if they still do.
