Lets see.......

Start with Item 3. A few pioeces of scraps and you will know within 30 seconds if it will work for you or not.
Item 1) Infeed and outfeed tables are always a good thing to have. So, if you build them you can test Item 2 in a matter of minutes.

That would eliminate the confusion. Sometimes you just have to find out for yourself.

Peter, Tony, thanks for your reply. I saw the video just after writing my thread. Let me first recover of a backstroke and later on in the week i will start adjusting my planer. Many thanks from Holland.
