Trying 2 decide between a Woodmaster and a Hawk Woodworking (RBI) Planer/Molder/Sander/Rip Saw....

Hey all you guys….I need an educated opinion on which planer/molder/sander/rip saw to purchase. I am definitely purchasing one in the next few months. Each have a compelling argument as to which would be better, but I really need some input from some guys that know the machinery by use.

1. What types of improvements are needed in the machines?
2. What are the advantages of these machines? (i.e. what makes them the ‘best choice’?)
3. RBI is a bit more expensive, but is it worth it?
4. How readily can one find molder knives for the machines without having to go to the manufacturer to get them? (I am purchasing a 2 blade set-up for which ever one I decide upon, so cost would be considered for 2 knives per purchase.)

Thanks again guys and God bless.
