best stapler
We staple thousands a day. Everything else lasts 3 weeks to a month. This is a cracker. You get what you pay for.

Pleasantly surprised.
Mixed feelings before ordering and therefore did a lot of research. Ordered. Surprised at the weight and overall felt that it was very robust. Instructions were atrocious. Much guidance via YouTube and finally got it right. Safety features are excellent but make this very difficult to set up. 3 limit switches requiring precise alignment before this will fire up. The most frustrating is the switch locking the planer in overhead mode. This requires the chip ejection nozzle to be locked in the correct position, thus depressing a limit switch. Overly engineered in this respect and a real pain in the butt to set up correctly. Similarly in thicknesses mode, the position of the chip ejection HOOD is critical. else it won't fire up. All reviews say that switching between modes (overhead and thicknesser) are a pain. They are. It is getting easier though - with practice.
Good chip extraction is vital. This planer creates a lot of debris - despite its size.
Have just pushed through several metres of air dried Oak up to 4" x 6" and the planer is up for it and produces a good finish.
Factory supplied disposable blades are rubbish and chip easily. Expect to upgrade to 3mm blades that can be re-sharpened. Supplied blades will have a reasonable life if not pushed too hard.
Some strange noises from underneath on power down, which sound belt-related. Again, YouTube videos suggest a host of small niggles related largely to the way that this is manufactured. None of them cannot be resolved with parts that appear to be easily obtained. We'll see - over time.
For a hobby/DIY'er, this is a nice piece of kit. For us too. However, we are punishing it a little with the hardness of the timber. It will last, I am sure. We may have to switch blades a few times in the next few weeks, but that's not the fault of the machine. It will become a nice addition to our workshop once our project is done.
Summing up - I would buy again. FFX are very good, have bought a lot of kit from them.

Good entry level saw for a more serious woodworker
Very heavy, strong and well built. Lovely quiet motor. Instructions were not brilliant and nearly ended up asking for missing bits but this was because of a rip fence revision which was covered in an addendum to the manual. Has taken a lot of tweaking to get to run perfectly square and has remained so without problem. Excellent sliding fence which keeps fingers well out of the way. Very pleased. Complaints would be the dust, despite a 4" extraction system it still throws a lot of dust particularly at the start of a rip.
