   Mark,

   When it comes to the "Wanted to buy" ads, W&H has got to lead the list of what people are looking for. I assume you are in good company and good luck.

   just happen to have it handy - http://www.williamsnhussey.com/ - spent the day installing T&G walnut flooring milled with a W&H machine - very sweet - here's a pict -

   Don't think I have seen walnut as flooring.  Very common?

   I thought the photo was going to be of the machine  :)

   What does one cost?  New?  Used?

   Don't think I have seen walnut as flooring.  Very common?

   not common,  but seen occasionally,  particularly around the midwest - we have another bedroom to do in cherry,  and the main room in oak -

   What does one cost?  New?  Used?

   When we hauled the guy with the W&H,  I looked it over and then looked it up on the net (the crew were trying to guess how much one cost) - think it was about $1850 w/stand and Baldor motor,  no shipping,  no cutters etc - used should be less,  but as indicated,  they are popular,  so I think the used market would be strong -

   here's a pict of the machine where the flooring was milled - note the terrorist proof dust collecting.... sorry about the quality of photo - a small machine that does great work -

   just wondering, have you checked out the new planer/molder that powermatic just introduced? It has a 15" planing capacity, a 5hp motor, and very good dust collection and blade access. It's about 1700 bucks. I think I'm going to get one. I looked at the W & H website and can't see any advantage over the Pmatic, but then again I have never used one. Maybe someone can tell me what makes these machines so popular?

   one feature that makes them popular is that they can do curved moldings - the machine is open on one edge so wide and curved pieces can be accommodated - it'll do T&G also,  tho I suppose the machine you mention could be set up that way also -

   I don't have one,  so can only speculate - - the owners I have talked to are quite enthused about their machines -

   has anyone used the powermatic molder?  i am considering woodmaster, powermatic, W & H and its clone by bridgewood. 

   i would appreciate any info from people who have used these or own them.

   thanks
