Dont waste your money. They are overpriced when new, and by the timne they have had a bit of use and the runner is worn and the bed bending (as they ALL, without exception, do) it will be a nightmare of innacurate cutting. Invest the same money in a logosol, norwood or Hud-son and you will get far more years of far better service from the machine. Even woodmizer bands are rubbish compared to (for example) deakin flathers blades. In the fifteen odd years I was milling, every mizer owner i ever spoke to had the same issues.

Wow, certainly not my experience of Wood-Mizer. Far heavier construction then any of the others you mention. Plus can always get spares/assistance from UK office. Don't have a problem with their blades, always perform well for me. Maybe its how you treat them.

Yup, I ran a 1992 lt20 10 years ago and then a 1997 lt40 until I updated to new last year. I'm always impressed with the durability compared to other machines. WM parts back up is pretty terrible but the machines last well and really do hold their value if looked after properly. I agree about the blades, ripper37 are outstanding.

 

Maybe it's just a case of how you treat the mill, I have seen completely shagged mills of all models, regular servicing and checking the bed / head levels are often overlooked.
