A combination woodworking machine combines the functions of multiple machines in a smaller unit, saving space. However, switching between functions can be time-consuming and requires an effective workflow. Prices vary based on size and features, and maintenance is more demanding. The machine still takes up significant space, so careful measurement is necessary.
A combined woodworking machine is woodworking machinery that combines the function of multiple machines with the space savings of a smaller unit. A combination woodworking machine may, for example, have the ability to act as a table saw, and when the machine is reconfigured, it can be used as a shaper. Another machine may combine a planer, router, table saw, and shaper. A person operating a smaller shop space may want to consider such a machine, as it allows the woodworker to use different types of machines without sacrificing the space needed for individual machines.
The downside to a combination woodworking machine may be how long it takes to switch between functions and how easily you can do so. Unless the machine is already set up as a circular saw, for example, the user won’t be able to simply walk up to the machine and cut a piece of wood. He will have to reconfigure the combined woodworking machine, which can take several minutes. This leads to inefficiency in the woodworking process.
Many woodworkers don’t mind sacrificing time to take advantage of the ability to combine multiple tools into one smaller, more compact machine. The woodworker may need to develop an effective workflow to match the machine, such as do all the cutting at once, then convert the machine and do all the planing at once, but once the workflow is established, it is easy and convenient to use the combined woodworking machine.
The price of these machines can vary greatly depending on the size, quality and features included. Sometimes only one or two operations are combined into the machine and these machines will tend to be less expensive. A combination woodworking machine that includes up to five or more functions generally costs more. It is also important to mention that since the machine has more capacity, more maintenance and maintenance will be required for such a machine than for a dedicated machine. It is important to research what types of blades or other commonly replaced parts are available for purchase from the hardware store to ensure the owner can obtain replacement parts when needed.
Although the combined woodworking machine is more compact than many other types of machines, it will still take up a significant amount of space in a workshop. It is therefore important for the carpenter to carefully measure their shop to ensure that the unit fits well enough in the shop space.
