  6. Re: How to get an AF50 through a 30" doorway?

    I finally got an answer from a YouTube video poster. His answer is:

    Re: Nearly All Machines Out of Stock?

    I think the best bang for your buck is a 1990s through early 2000s Japanese VMC where the MTB still offers free phone tech and parts support. I know Kitamura and Brother are options and I am sure...
  8. How to get an AF50 through a 30" doorway?

    I am wondering how hard it would be to remove the infeed table to get the saw through a 30" doorway. I called Tormach but their answer was not easily, err we don't recommend it, not really. Does...

    Ewwwwwwww, don't like the idea of having to edit nc files after post processing. Not a deal killer, considering the price, but a real limitation!
