Tod I plan to do mostly cabinet doors and some passage doors. They have a sliding table/tenoning option that mounts on the end of the machine but I did not get it.

They do have a bolt on tenoning table/jig thats pretty nice and ALOT cheaper than the sliding table that I will get for doing passage doors.

Thanks for looking.

Now for a few specs: The machine is a tilting spindle shaper. Tilts both ways foward and back. It weighs in at almost #3000. It has extension tables on both sides with a pullout front extension. It has a power feed with swing away support and overhead control panel.

The fence is a digital Aigner with a swingout of the way option. The spindle is 1 1/4" with 30mm and 40 mm options. It's quick change and has an airlock for easy removal.


I will take some more pics of the fence close up when I can move the feeder out of the way. It's rise and fall is operated electronically and I don't have power yet. Hopefully my electrician will show up today.

Tod I know what you mean. When I get to the office I have a pic on my other computer of their tenoning table. It's a bolt on affair. I will post a picture of it.

Congrats Doug...:thumb:

No other words work, except those that express my jealousy. :doh:

Now get the tenoning table, get power to the beast, and lets see the cutter cut! ;)

Thanks Marty,

Getting power is one thing and learning to use it is another. Lots of reading and testing to try and figure everything out.
