So, woohoo :D, my Hammer HS 950 Edge Sander arrived from Felder yesterday. Was packed great on a pallet, but I'm really getting to old to deal with machinery this heavy, so I called the local rigging company that I used before to setup my workshop and they were great setting it up.

One unexpected downside, was despite what the specifications say, the working tables minimum height is about 3 inches higher than expected. Since it has so sit next to my jointer, long boards from the jointer would hit it, which is a non-starter.
So I'm building a base for the Jointer to raise it up. Aaargh!!!! I had to do similar things for the Felder planer that I have, so for whatever reason height adjustment again so that I can work with long boards in my space.
And, of course, now all the work with installing Nordfab adapters, a new blast gate, flexible duct hoses, and automating it by adding it to my Grit Automation system is in order. Fortunately, I already have a 220V outlet right there (for the whole house vacuum), so I just have to install the trigger. And Grit Automation, as usual, was stellar in tech support, and sent out all I needed the next day.
