    Cool video. What is the amp draw at start up? I think my lights dimmed.

    Wait, you can work figured wood like that with a two knife head??? Could blow up a whole industry if that information gets out...

    Nice machine, I enjoy the videos, thanks for posting.

    thanks Steve . It does have a skewed knife head that if you use it at the right spot will do hardwood better because of the changing rake angle . the fence is no long at the back too so you can skew the work too.

    the only thing is chips are large

    Either this is old footage, or you recently got a helluva hair cut!

    It's fun with the RD getting the skew sweet spot. Maybe I shoud sharpen my knives some day??

    HaHa.

    The machine starts a lot faster on true 3 phase power.

    We had a couple of those in the maintenance shop where I worked and they started within 2 or 3 seconds.......Jacks machine is beautiful, far nicer than when it left the factory....Rod.

    Jack, I just love your videos. Nice haircut! And I do believe that was a 27 second start. LOL. Keep the videos coming.
