It's pretty expensive, and I didn't go for it at the time. Since then, they've sent me their woodworking "magazine" (advertisement, really) every month, and flyers telling me of demonstrations of the product in my area. My question is: is this system worth it? Does anybody have one and use it on a regular basis? Would I be better off looking for good, used equipment and building up my shop with separate table saws, joiners, lathes, etc.? Any and all answers are appreciated. Even hearsay evidence is ok. Mail or net as you please. Steve Carnes {allegra,ucbvax}!nbires!jsc "On the shores of Hayden Lake--the sixth Great Lake"
