New kid on the block

[Mark Bachler]

Just joined & wanted to say hey. Hey! I'm from northern Wisconsin (Go Pack). 48 years young. Worked as a journeyman cabinetmaker for a large company, on the floor for 18 years then moved upstairs as an engineer /estimator for the last 5 years. Built a 28’ x 40’ shop this past summer (between heart attacks) & now I’m in the process of stocking it with Mini Max S-315WS sliding table saw, FS350 jointer / planer, T-50 shaper, and a MM-16 band saw. Only been on the site for a few hours and already learned quite a few things. Seems to be a great bunch of people here and I hope to get to know you all better as time goes by.

Have a good one
Mark B.

FS-350 "today" (review on my site) and an MM-16 arriving next Sunday night after the Somerset NJ show. Someday I may go for the saw/shaper combo, but that is less likely. My upgrade to a Stubby lathe comes first.

But as far as a company, I really like Mini Max. Nice tools, too! :D

Mark, Welcome aboard. I have the MM16 as well but have not done much with is as I'm still setting up shop. Nice bunch of folks here.
