    Hi,  Yes I bought a multifunction machine, a lathe with copying attachment, and an extractor. The lathe and extractor are fine, but the multi function machine is a bit heath robinson. I still sometimes have problems setting up saw table accurately.But the planer thicknesser function is good and gives a good finish.Because I have two routers I have not really needed to use the mortiser yet and the moulder look too scarey to use. Personally I would look elswhere for a new machine. Best of luck,      J.kinch.

    Hi ciceu, I have bought from damatommachine Amulti functio machine as well as a wood turning lathe and an extractor. The multifunction machine I bought was model Disco 5/260 super.It has cast iron tables and is a lot of machine for the money.I must admit that the machine is very basic and could do with some updating. There is no indication for adjustment to the infeed table of thicknesser. The spindle moulder is smaller in diameter than standard, as is the bore of the cutter block. firm pressure is required when clamping the thicknessing table or it will slightly lower itself while cutting.

    But generally their machines are well built and very sturdy being made of cast iron.Just afew niggles as with all machines none are ever perfect.
