    its only the Hafco thicknesser I have an issue with.
    I have a Hafco drum sander and it is a really good machine.....

    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....

    I have 2 Hafco bandsaws that are brilliant. I was under the impression Hare and Forbes generally made quality gear.

    Tony, Pablo cut his own clear base plate for the router

    sure for a few bucks he may be able to cut you one
