newbie with question

[salvage]

Hello all

I'm new here but not to wood

My workshop consists of a menagerie of machines some of which are long overdue for replacement/upgrade and the time has come to part with some cash

Before I empty my pockets I thought I better ask those with some experience .............

I'll be needing a replacement spindle moulder and a 12" P/T , if my budget will stretch maybe my table saw should be changed out aswell

I notice allot of Felder owners on this board - just don't have the budget

I've been looking at some Rojek machines and hoped someone here may be able to tell me whether I'd be spending what cash I do have wisely

I'd appreciate any advice

Hi,

The only Rojek machine I have is an extractor; the R2002 two bag version.

It is well made, although rather more agricultural in build than the likes of Felder, it has worked well for me for many years.

For a small trade shop Rojek is well worth consideration IMHO, as are the IXES machines from Scheppach

The question I'd ask is why buy new?

Hi Salvage, welcome,
I have the Rojek R2000 (single bag) extractor, it does exactly what its supposed to do with ease.
I bought it because my old extractor couldnt cope with my new thicknesser, it can, as said with ease. My local supplier rates Rojek highly as they never have any problems with any they sell. Siemens motors make all the difference.
I know a guy who has the PP480 bandsaw, he says it is an excellent machine.

For machinery that is going to be a work horse i dont think you can beat the old cast iron . But then i have never tried a Felder ....
