Thanks for sharing this video with us. I'm a huge Felder fan as I own a K700S, but so far I'm not sold on combo jointer/planers. The flexibility of single-purpose machines is the only thing holding me back... but for those with limited shop space, it's certainly an option well worth considering.
+Marty Schlosser Individual machines really are the way to go if you have the room and budget. The price I paid for this combination machine was less then two similar machines.
A bag dust collector works great for wood chips. Not sure of the question. If your implying that its a poor pairing that is not true. It has no issues and accomplishes the task very well. Also this machine is far more then $6K new. I've considered a larger central system for dust collection but its more cost effective to have a collector for each machine(table saw, jointer/planer, sanders, etc.) Shorter runs of pipe, less code requirements, lower risk, and more versatile.
What would you guess is the weight of the jointer bed? I.e., how heavy is it to lift to convert it to the thickness planer function? A few of the fellows on the Felder Owners' Group were complaining it was heavy. You don't seem to struggle with it at all. Are you especially well toned and strong? Can the ordinary Joe (or in my case, Jane) lift the jointer bed without difficulty?
I never measured it for weight but its not overly heavy to lift. Its harder to lower since you must lift the safety latch with one hand and start to lower with the other. My wife is 115 lbs and she can manage this task. Wouldn't say its easy for her but woodworking is a physical task. If you're in need of a 16" jointer then lifting the bed between tasks will be easy compared with the projects that require the capacity.
Blood, Sweat, Sawdust There are some good deals on these machines used. I think the hammer is a great option if one cant get over a used item. If you have the space individual machines are the way to go. If you get a phase converter then options for large jointers open up and the price is quite reasonable.
Blood, Sweat, Sawdust Not sure of your location but most items will need freighted. Especially items as unique as this. Check the "Felder Owners Group" known as the FOG on yahoo groups. Also Check "woodweb" which has a classifieds section. When I look on Craigslist I search nationally using "SearchTempest."

I have a seperate thicknesser and planer and find that it is far more productive.

I would love to have one of these machines. The Hammer line is probably more realistic for me. Do you have any complaints about the machine?

I'm never able to find any used Felder/Hammers in my part of the country on Craigslist or Ebay. Are there any better places to looks?

A $6000 planer/jointer and a $500 dust collector?
If it works why not?
Wasn't if
ok, most videos try to teach something. not sure what this one was about.
+twoweary Read the description. Its intended to show a real world use between the two functions.
