For those that think the 3phase motor and VFD are overkill, I kinda agree but once you have used a VS DP it is hard to go back to belt changing even if they are easy.
I like the LV table of the "Delta" fence mainly because of its dust collection and it isn't much more than the fence alone.
David, I have lots of used options that are open, but if my shop is finished and no used DP the Delta plan will be a go. I looked at a couple of PM 1200 VS DPs earlier this week when I TRIED to buy a Northfield jointer (heartbreak thread to come when I can get over watching the smoke pour out of a DD motor!). They were cherry but somewhat overpriced, not really but more than I need to spend on a DP. The Millrite is on my radar but will need a plan to make it 100% wood working compliant.
Of all the laws Brandolini's may be the most universally true.
Deep thought for the day:
Your bandsaw weighs more when you leave the spring compressed instead of relieving the tension.
