Sleepless Nights

Post by hb2 »

I accepted an invitation to a webinar which I watched on Saturday. So now I am really considering a new headstock and tilt package for my 1991 510 converted to a 520. I would rather get the new headstock than convert mine and with buying the tilt package I would only be a tube cut in half and a base cabinet from a nice power station for my bandsaw and a sanding station.
I enjoy my 520 and it would be nice to have the new techology but I really wonder if I want to sink $2,000 into my shop with this purchase. I like the thought of the slow speed for bowl turning and the higher speed for routing and shaping. More power for the tablesaw would be nice as well. A quieter machine would also be nice.
You guys can't help me but just thought I would warn you about accepting the invite and receiving the time loaded 10% discount. Money is a funny thing, once you spend it it's gone.

Go for it! You will not regret the PowerPro purchase at all.

It's been long enough that my "limited time" email has disappeared, but I have NO trouble sleeping at night dreaming about my new PP, My only tossing and turning is that I have to wait until SS comes through a local Lowe's so I can use their card and pay over 18 months!

If I didn't want to wait for the discount, I could just order it from Lowe's on line, but the demo days discount pays for the shipping plus a bit.
