For the Serious Hobby Shop...

...this is a screamin' deal:

For $9500 you would have a sliding saw, shaper, planer, jointer and mortiser. Knapp, an Austrian company no longer in business, is a notch above Felder in terms of build quality. I would normally expect to see the Knapp saw/shaper at $9500 alone...

The shaper has the high speed spindle accessory, so you get a router table as well. And both the shaper and mortiser have never even been used. If your shop space is limited, and you are looking for some machinery, this is well worth considering. I say 'hobby shop' in the subject heading given that the machines are combination machines, but it is worth noting that this quality of equipment would be at home in a lot of commercial shops.

No personal connection to the seller.

Great find Chris. Were Knapp machines typically badged as Laguna?

No, not originally at least. Laguna was the distributor (unfortunately) and that's as much I I recall.

That's really cheap for that set up.
