I am curious what one builds that requires a longer bed than the A3-31? I've run bed rails on- and through mine, although this has been an infrequent length. Mostly the longest length is in the region of 1m. I have a table coming up which will be 2m. What I appreciate about this machine is the 12" width when jointing, which is a significant step up from an 8" wide jointer, and far less costly than a stand-alone 12" jointer.
