From the looks of that lathe, It looks really nice. I think I would never own one. the motor appears to be a brand specific part. what I mean is it doesn't use a standard base. I am 31 and when I am in search of machines the #1 thing I look at is whether the parts to maintain and repair a machine are specific to a machine or can I source them locally. motors, belts, bearings, switches, and wear items. at my age I am stocking my shop with iron I intend to die with. I don't mean to bash Bailegh, my intentions are to help you to make a more serviceable machine. I have never owned a lunchbox planer for this reason, if the motor gives out you and stop making part then it becomes scrape or frakenmachine. when I say you guys stop making parts I mean the machine has become to old, lets face it we as lumberjocks can't expect you to make parts for ever. I hope this is looked at from a constructive view. By the way thanks for Shellys TS I think she is in love.

Master woodworker Bill Wyko just took delivery of his new SD-174 drum / surface sander. He was kind enough to share his thoughts on the machine:

"Upon receiving it, I could tell right away this was a quality tool. Metal hood, not plastic like some others out there, a top quality feed belt, probably the nicest I've come across, solid footing and a great finish. This machine made one helluva 1st impression and will be used and abused almost daily."

Bill has been part of the Baileigh woodworking family for quite some time. He is well respected in the woodworking community as his woodworking skills are simply amazing. We are proud to have him on our team. Be on the lookout for Bill Wyko as the demand for his high end woodworking projects grow.

KillStress Designs…Making Art From Wood and Metal

The husband and wife team of KillStress Designs are known for their heirloom quality woodworking and metal fabrication projects. Located in Anaheim, California, they specialize in modern art and furniture made from exotic woods and well thought out designs fabricated from metal.

Owner and master craftsman Tyler Smutz has filled his shop with some of the best woodworking and metal fabrication machinery on the market. In addition to his Baileigh CS-315EU cold cut saw, he recently pulled the trigger on the JP-1686 Jointer / Planer combo machine. With its 16" helical cutter head and heavy duty tables, he has made some beautiful works of art. One of his latest creations is this cherry headboard. The rough lumber used to construct this peice included some boards that weighed in at over 120 pounds. The JP-1686 handled the load with absolutely no sagging or table deflection.

You will also notice the incredible quality of these tables and chairs made from Walnut and steel. Joined and planed using the JP-1686, the parts fit together perfectly.
Here is a demonstration of his machine he was kind enough to send us.



Be on the lookout for Tyler and his wife as they are featured in magazines and on modern art websites on a regular basis.

The IJ-666 Jointer, Breathing New Life Into Firewood

Hello Baileigh,

The other day I was building a fire and a few pieces of firewood were looking too nice to burn. I took them down to the jointer and ran them on adjacent faces to get a tight 90°. I finished them up on my table saw and planer. I now have some nice thick blanks for turning or re-sawing. I had wanted a jointer for years and took a chance on yours based on your company's reputation in metal working and a great price for a larger machine than I would normally have bought. Great machine!

Thanks,
Kyle Young

Shane; will Baileigh have their woodworking machinery at woodworking shows? I like to see and touch equipment before I make a decision to purchase. In regards to Ruel24's comment; I would pay more for a machine if the higher priced machine had better quality components. Perhaps a comparison between machine specifications.
