I have the Supermax 19-38. I haven't used it much but it's fantastic for cutting boards or other shorter length glue ups.
Another project involved sanding about 40 poplar doors. The shorter ones leveled out nice. The longer ones that had even the slightest twist ended up catching for a moment and creating a gouge albeit a small one. My conclusion is that it's a great machine (under $2000) but I've only found a very limited use for it. If I was making a dozen cutting boards a week, I'd never part with it. If I was 25 yrs younger, I'd opt for a small wide belt where my investment would payoff through jobs. I maybe selling the SM in the near future.
