Hi all,
Currently in the middle of the age of struggle of fear of buying the wrong product. I've recently ordered a jessem ultimate ultimate excel ii package + the miter slide + a milwaukee 5625-20 to go in it and while I've been patiently waiting for the backorder I made the mistake of watching Sedge use the CMS several times. That of course led me to start reading threads on here about it and now I'm sitting here on the fence if I've made the right decision. Cost wise it's about a wash, it's going to live in a dedicated shop, and at this point I'm fairly dunked in the festool pond.
The two main things that are attracting me toward the CMS-GE are that it's at 900mm and I have two MFT already, and that hold-down/guard/built-in featherboard thing.
The Jessem comes with their clear cut stock guides which I think should be as effective and the miter-slide should be similar to the CMS sliding table?
Not sure what I'm looking for here other than more opinions, maybe I'll get swayed one way or another, I haven't touched either of their products in person and it'll be my first router table.
Thank you.
