I love European woodworking equipment. It's so much better than what we can get in the US.
- 1-more 24d agoThe only tools I can see in the post are - A horizontal band sander - A table saw with a rip fence - a few filter-on-top-bag-on-bottom dust collectors - a router table - squares, clamps, rulers. Nothing in here strikes me as particularly exotic to a woodworker US. What are you seeing that's inaccessible in the US? For my money, Europe has cheap versions of track saws when there are no cheap versions of those in the US, so that's one difference, but that's not in the post.
- thi2 24d agoDo you have examples? I have seen a few US woodworking/carpentry videos and the tools seem pretty much the same.
- 1-more 24d agoThe only things I can think of are: cheap track saws in Europe, and combination jointer/planers. There are two makerspaces near me with wood shops, and one has a French combo machine while the other has two separate machines. It saves floor space, but instead of one machine breaking, two do, so there are tradeoffs there.
