If you are interested in sliding saw, here are some great links

[Mark Hubler]

From my research on the various brands of saws:

Minimmax and Robland brochures (right side of the page "Download Brochures") http://www.sbwoodworkingmachinery.co.uk/...e=8&sermod= These are the CE versions of the machines, so the USA ones may be slightly different, mainly in table length and dado capability.

Minimax S315 WS and S350 WS brochure http://www.lekime.be/PDF/MiniMax%20S...%20-%20ENG.pdf

Felder demonstration and products video downloads(about a hour long and very impressive) http://www.woodenedge.com/felders.htm This video is a couple of years old.

Hammer products video (previous model) http://www.woodenedge.com/hammer.htm Note - the Hammer demo is the same as the Felder demo.

Good links, Mark! Thanks for posting them.

For those on the fence relative to the Mini Max year end sale, they just added some additional discounts for orders..$100 more for machines over $1500 and $250 more for machines over $7500. Folks who already ordered for the sale can call them up and get some additional tooling or accessories in the same amounts on their existing order.

Would yo be kind enough to mention where that info is Jim, please? I can't seem to find it on the MM website. Thanks very much.

Mark: It received it today in an email from Minimax. I looked at the website and it wasn't listed nor reflected in their prices. You might have to mention it to a salesman.

Thanks very much Jim and Gary.

Well, as you may recall, my new MM16 was just delivered last week on the 20th, ordered on the 15th.

So...I should calll my salesman, Michael, and ask him about it right? (I hope, I hope :D )

Thanks again.

[Jim Becker]

Mark, if you bought your saw at the year-end sale price, yes, you should give Michael a call or email about the additional goodies.

A deposit will hold the price, but I don't know for how long. Give them a call, Jay.
