    This is the coolest thing ever, seriously.
    Bumbling forward into the unknown.

    I've been drooling over that thing since I saw it on IG last night. It's so clean!

    Darcy, when you get to analyzing the machine, give us your take on the table hinge mechanism and compare it to new combo JP machines. Your opinion is always valuable. Dave

    The hinges on this weigh half as much as a whole newer J/P does.

    Seriously, I can lift tables up with one hand.
    Going down is a little more effort to get past the tipping point.

    Planer runs from 7 to 35 meters a minute. 35m is moving.

    35m/min?? For the metrically impaired, this works out to ~23 inches/second. Also known as 'Launch Mode".

    I'm guessing a lot of the weight comes from the nuclear reactor in the base - and it's shielding.

    You have to do a video. I know it takes a lot to impress you so it will be a great opportunity for us to see. First machine to tempt me in a few years. Dave

    Yes, that is fast, I just tried it. I believe it weighs right around 3k pounds. Very thick heavy castings. only a 6.6hp cutterhead motor, separate feed motor.

    That is insane. In for videos of 35m/minute.

    Here are some pictures of other Okoma machines I had seen in German Shops. The shaper outboard fence is the same as what they use on the angle machines. Nice machines!
