I have been looking at this machine, but the reviews are very mixed. I've seen some videos on youtube and it seems to work well. I am a hobbyist and college student on a limited budget, with even more limited space. I understand the tables are what seems to be cast aluminum and the machine is not that heavy, and the fence doesn't adjust. But, would it suit the needs of someone who is not planning on runnnig hundreds of board feet at a time, and mostly woods such as cedar, oak, pine, poplar, and maple through it? Does anyone have any experience with this model? There's no way I can spend upwards of $800 for seperate machines and the used market in my area is not that good. Thanks.
