Just purchased a Knapp 5 in 1 combo

[Blaine Anders]

I just purchased a knapp and I am looking for others who own one of these machines that could give me advice and answer questions as they come up. The person who bought this machine originally got it in 2003. He died 2years later from cancer and the tool has sat in the corner of the shop ever since. I bought it from his widow and have spent the last month trying to figure it all out. As far as I know it is the only one in the state of Alaska.
I have used the saw, joiner and planer so far and I have to say it is a pleasure to use.
So if there is someone out there who has one of these units and is willing to share advice it would be appreciated.

You should see the other thread about the guy that's looking for one of these machines. I am sure they could shed some light on the subject.

Hopefully you didn't buy yours from a guy name Ian.

Can't see it.


And welcome.

Blaine,

Have you contacted Laguna, the original importer of these machines. They may have a list of owners willing to assist you, even if they are out of state.

Hi Blaine,

I also have the slider and shaper (no planer/jointer). Happy to help if I can. PM me anytime.
