Where to buy equipment?

The Eager Beaver machine is going to be a tough one,, great machine, very poor customer service, they do not answer their phone. At least the last time I needed them it was that way. It is made by Stuart Manufacturing in California. 909-795-4572
He!! of a machine, I had to wait three months for mine to be built.

 

the Dakota pro, is the newest in the Dakota line, it looks to me, that they took the drive system of an Eager Beaver, but make the guard system adjustable by using thumb screws, it looks precise and adjustable on the fly. I know Vandykes customer service WAS super, but now VD is recently owned by McKenzie, so the service may be a little bit below Super, I don't know. The Pro would be a good way to go, as many here are happy with them. I would directly go past the Dakota V, as it is a dinosaur.
