well the title says it all, I have actually put a deposit on the AD941 and delivery could be as early as Monday but I still cant decide.
I have a furniture background and had a cabinet shop but closed it don on 2002, Am now in mechanical engineering. I just sold my MM FS350 that I have had for about 22 yrs and have an Inca 2200 12" saw that is 25 yrs old and beat. so of course I go for the max my budget allows which is the 941, however the saw will need to be replaced soon and the thought of waiting another 2ish years is killing me. so I was thinking for the close to the 941 money I could get the A3 41 and K3 Comfort and be done with it, just not sure I haven't put any hands on any of these machines I am quite confident that the AD941 will be more than enough however not sure about the quality/fit finish/reliability/accuracy of the hammer and feel the need to touch feel...
Also I have no plans to go back into business as I have a full time job however I do plan on building what I want when I want and selling it. This equipment will be used max 15hrs week avg for the next 20ish years.
My plan was to buy the 941 now and in the next few years a 700 series slider but I gota wonder with the amount of use should I just go with the Hammer option, I get that I will be loosing conveniences but I I going to be missing out on accuracy and longevity?
Any thoughts/comments would be appreciated...Mark
