jim I have to agree to disagree, once you learn how to use a slider there’s no going back, and why would anyone ever want to use a wooden sled for precision cross cutting?
as for the finger safety,...

Here's my advice, I've got a PM66 that I designed and build a slider for (design Engineer by trade). Used a CNC rail and bearing blocks for the sider rail with a nice precision machined cast...

Thanks for all the great reply's guys

I'll keep you posted on my decision

Lol, I agree, that’s probably why I’m not in a hurry to fork over 9 grand
plus him being very difficult to work with, sometimes not worth the stress of saving a few bucks

No it’s not, my seller actually contacted me, and just the opposite I’m in no hurry to buy

I meet with him and we talked for an hour about stuff, at the time I didn’t check the machine that closely because he didn’t say he was selling it. The only reason I was there was to see one close...

Here’s problem I’m having with the seller…
When I told him I wanted to come over to further inspect and see what’s involved in moving it, he says he wants a $3000 deposit. I told him I’d give him...

The machine is still on the pallet and never used except for powering up, the tables still have the paper on them, my problem is I’m beginning to think 9 grand is a bit much. All he will let me do...

Hi,
Can anyone give me a rough estimate on a used Felder Ad941 16” jointer planer?
Machine was purchased in 2018 and barely used in a hobby shop.
I think typically 50% from purchase price but in...

NEVER EVER STAND directly behind the table saw blade when making a cut!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Always stand off to one side. I see so much of this very bad practice.

The kick...

Ahhh...A PM 66, not mentioned here very often any more, only a few left I guess. It's the last truly American made TS with it's polished top and castings made here, quite a gem
I bought one new...

Mike,

Thanks for the pictures, the MM is definitely more straight forward than the AD

David

Mark,

Thanks for the pictures
Looks like the springs come off easily, as for the table, Hmm
Depending on how the tables are secured with one another, removing them as an assembly should not put...

I guess that's were I get confused by not being able to look at the machine. If you are just removing the bolts and not touching any adjusting screws or shims why would the machine be that far out...

Hi Tim,

I'm looking at an AD941, but the deal breaker for me would be if I can't remove the top to get it into my basement shop. Not sure why it's looked down upon here as compared to an MM which...

hey, sorry to change and steal your thread but any chance I can ask you a private question about your AD941? I saw your other post

David

Patrick,

I'm so glad to know there is another person out there that has the same type A, OCD, perfectionist personality like mine, LOL
My Ex never understood it and my girl friend is starting to...

Yes, I agree, saw the driver, great idea.
As for the MM tables, yes looks like a no brainer, 4 bolts and looks like an easy set up and calibration because of the non parallelogram type of movement....

Hi All,

Looking for a 16" joiner/planer for my basement shop. I'm considering the MM elite 16 or maybe going extreme and possibly the AD941 or 741 with electric lift. Whats a few more bucks for...

Everyone, thanks for all the help :-)

I also talked to Sam B from MM and he also said its very doable, might not even need to remove much more than the tables or just the in feed table. Got...

Mreza Thanks again
seems very unlike the table removal from a Powermatic or delta which is not recommended

Now, just gotta get some cabinet dimensions to see if I can make the stairway turn
...

Thanks John, great advice, I'm wondering if an impact wrench would have been better?

I've got a call into MM service for their advice as well

David

Hi I read your post and that's where you gave me the idea
Did you remove the motor and drive unit as well?
Is it a straight forward process? Or tricky and a PITA?
I figured 2 guys in front and 2...

Hi Rod,
thanks for responding
I don't have a straight shot, have to make a 90 bend, plus it would be easier in the long run to remove as much weight as possible, but only if they diss assemble and...

Hi Everyone,
Wow, been a while since I've posted on here.
I've reconnected with my wood shop and am looking at new J/P, but I have a dilemma, and that's taking a brand new machine a part so I can...
