Hi,
Hoping for some knowledge from this group as I'm still trying to get my hands on my first shaper / feeder. I found a used PM TS 120 w/ PF 43. It seems like an okay price.
I can not find any useful reviews on the feeder PF 43 (powermatic). It has 4 speeds: 13, 26, 33, 66 FPM
It's brethen PF 41 has 4 speeds: 13, 36, 43, 108 FPM
Why the big speed difference between the two feeders and which speeds do you tend to use on some examples (stiles and rails, door tenons, etc) I'd be using mine for everything and anything. I use my shop to do anything from cabinetry to furniture to carpentry. Lately, I've been getting more work for cabinetry projects.
The TS 120 itself seems pretty well built. I don't see having any issues with it. Large table, sturdy fence, plenty of power.
