Hi Michael,wannabewoodworker wrote:I got the email today and was wondering if any of you would bite the bullet and get this upgrade. I know there was a healthy discussion about how they made a Mark VII out of a Mark V but I guess that question has been answered for some time now. Looks pretty neat but I already have an original Mark VII so I have no need for the upgrade but someone who does not have this could really benefit from being able to tilt the machine both directions.
I'm just now learning what a Mark 7 is. It's a bit confusing because of the old Mark VII, which I believe is what you have? After the upgrade as presented in the recent SS email, does anyone know how high the table will be for routing? Also, I suppose special routing throat plates will be required. Anyone have experience with the new Mark 7? Sorry if I'm repeating questions that have been already discussed in previous threads but I didn't really find what I was looking for when searching the forums.
Best,
Tom
