I need to purchase one or the other asap. I am building a kitchen full of bead d face frame cabs and doors.
I am working with 7/8th" stock varying between 1.75 - 2.25". My carcass material is .5 - .75".
Everything i think i know tells me to get the DF700 and the adapters from Senca. On the other hand there is the theory a tool for every job and i am thinking the DF500 will be much more managle for cabinet work.
FYi i have a slot mortiser for large furniture type work.
So im torn. Get the 700 as that is what i always thought i would do feeling it can work for everything may e not ideal for sheet goods.
Or get the 500 and dedictae it to case work and when and if needed get the 700. With my slot mortiser i cant see why i would need the 700 if i had the 500.
The whole point in this purchase is to speed up the process. I am currently making a floating twnnon joint on my slot mortiser to connect the haunched portions of my face frames. They have then been getting a series of rabets and dadoes to index them into the carcass. This is way to much work and i need to just face apply them.
Thoughts on what machine to purchas!
Thank you..
