Advice re planer/thicknesser combo purchase
Hi all of my forummers - older and younger - maestros and novices.
I am desperate for advice on which planer - thicknesser combo to buy.
My workshop is not big enough for separates - unless I could convince my missus to park her car outside (i am worried she may tell me to "park" myself outside instead if I ever dare to say that to her)
I have been looking and drooling over the Felder A3 - 31 and Jet 610HH, but out of my budget.
My budget is set between $2000 - $3000.
And it will be for weekend woodworkers only.
And I also don't want something that is more affordable but the quality suffers (i am aware you can't ask for the quality of Felder - Jet - Powermatic in the cheaper models but at least better than what is offerred by those "portable" ones.)
I am wondering about those offerred Sheppach, Hafco, Carbatec and the like.
Please help this confused middle-ager.
Thank heaps in advance,
Hien.

A little late, but it may happen again - Gregory Machinery in Brissie had the Jet 310HH going for $3060 (15% off) until last weekend. Don't know how often they have a 15% off sale.
