   WoodTek is from Woodworker's Supply. I doubt that they have any locations local to you, but their web site is

   If you need to call them, it is 1-800-645-9292.  They are located at 1108 North Glen Road, Casper, Wyoming 82601.  You might find a used one locally.  I have used them for other purchases, but have not used any of the Woodtek machines.

   thanks tinkerer.  i appreciate the feedback.  i'm looking forward to participating here.  i feel like i have a million questions - okay, maybe 30.   i'd like to find a mentor near where i live who's experience i could tap as i try to go deeper into this.

   Woodworker's Supply has three locations: Wyoming, New Mexico and North Carolina.  Woodtek is their brand of machines and only sold by them as far as I know.

   Geez - I'm in Newbury Park, so three woodworkers nearby. I thought that was against the law here in the LA area <G>. Too bad there aren't any really good woodworking tool dealers in the area though.

   No good tool dealers in L.A.?  Have you ever been to Eagle tools in Pasadena (or maybe near Pasadena)?  I bought an Agazzani band saw there 3 years ago; the experience was well worth the drive in from the desert.  Everyone I dealt with was knowledgeable and courteous-- more like fellow woodworkers than salesmen.  I also noticed a pretty good selection of used professional grade woodworking machinery there.      Gary

   Not familiar with them, though I was born in Pasadena (actually, rural Pasadena - i.e. Altadena). Now they are far enough away with the freeways to be a bit of a pain to go to, though it sounds like they could be worth it. Thanks for the tip.

   The last time that Altadena was "rural" was a loooong time ago. ;-)
