I have been looking at this machine and I'm trying to look at every avenue to justify purchasing one. My wife and I are getting ready to build a new home. I have cut down, ran through the saw mill, and cured approximately 4000 b.f. of oak to use for flooring, trim, casing, and cabinet material for our new house. Would this machine work to do the tongue and groove on the flooring boards (approx. 1500 sq ft.), the casing trim and base boards, and the doors for the cabinets or would it be impractical.
I can get this done at local mill work businesses, but I could more than pay for the machine through the savings. I have a 13" Jet Planer, an 8 Grizzly jointer, and a nice table saw. I can install cutters in the planer for the moldings, but the selections are few. This thing is so cool I would love to have one, but I don't want to purchase it in hopes of doing things that it is not capable of doing
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks
