I’m a big believer in buying woodworking machinery that provides support from the manufacturer.
The temptation to buy cheaper equipment is strong but should be weighed against the level of support available from the seller. It may be nonexistent. So, if you need parts or advice on how to repair a machine, it’s all on you.
I’ve found great customer service and the manufacturer’s support to be worth the extra cost.
I’m a bit concerned about how tariffs imposed on imports might affect woodworking businesses.
Webster’s defines industry as “economic activity concerned with the processing of raw materials and manufacture of goods in factories.”
Many times, I have heard people say how much they love woodworking. Some were thinking of starting a woodworking business so that they could make a living doing what they love.
Some people see the big picture, others see the little things. Those who can see both are rare.
