What is real nice on one of those links, they have a page that shows the wood with all different types of finishes.

Greenie, Grayling, SS stand alone BS and BS SPT, jointer and belt sander, 3 Ers with Speed Changers. I think those 3 cover my ER needs, and space for them. :)

My suggestion is to read the "WOOD HANDBOOK" - chapter three for a better understanding. http://www.fpl.fs.fed.us/documnts/fplgt ... 3/ch03.pdf
