Hello fellow Creekers...
I recently acquired a used Minimax CU300 combo machine (3 4.8 HP motors) which has a 12" jointer and planer combo as part of the 5 machine/ 3 motor unit. I am delaying my plans to build a much larger shop indefinitely for various personal reasons... I already have a Milwaukee Panel Saw (latest model) and a Porter 300C 3-toed vintage 7.5 hp 3-phase, belt-drive jointer with a 4-knife round 16" cutterhead and an 8' bed in mint condition....it is the "focal point" of my 400 sq. ft. shop......however I am considering selling the 16" jointer and panel saw and replacing these 2 items with a Festool track saw to "free up" much needed floor space.....ANY suggestions would be most appreciated! Space is my biggest problem right now...and the combo machine has the 12" Tersa cuttereads....HELP! THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY AND ALL INPUT!!!!! Btw I also have a Woodmaster 718 with a spiral cutterhead.....too much duplicate function? :-)
