• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

I had one of those top trumps discussions on facebook with a bloke saying his laguna lathe was better than the RS lathe. They weigh about 35Okg which is about the weight of the RS bed. The whole RS weighs 75Okg for the small bed version. It also has a huge capacity. The lagunnas cost nearly £6k new, the last RS I sold was for £2.5k.

The Laguna will take a minimum 50% hit on price when he tries to sell it in a few years. The RS will sell for exactly what you got paid. :)

Since I've started working on old machines for my shop, when I've upgraded I've never sold an old machine for less than what I paid. That includes two table saws, two lathes, a drill press, a shaper, a jointer (i.e. planer), an overarm router, and probably other machines I can't remember. Yes, that doesn't include labor or parts, but I got good use out of almost all of them before I sold, so I can't complain.

Agree on all counts. I would have to reinforce the workshop floor first.
