I have the same unit and I also really like the machine. The Hammer C3-41 is well made and easy to set up. For me the combo machine is perfect for smaller shops where having an individual shaper, Jointer, Planer and table saw would be tough to fit. In addition I only had to run one electrical line to the machine and one dust extraction trunk. Each of the components (table saw, jointer, shaper etc) are heavy duty, very precise, easy to set up and use. Having said all of that the fence is not great, and is a bit hard to adjust. Probably the only down side of the machine - but it works and gets the job done. I like your fix - nice job. If I had to do it again I would still buy this machine.

I owned a c331 and the stock fence and holder might work with the longer fence you have and it's height adjustable. But that's another item you have to purchase. just a thought.

Can you please do a video going over the machine, price, why you bought it, space needed, which capabilities are worth having, comparing to table saw + CNC router, and highs/lows based on six months of ownership? I can't find any reviews on this machine on KZread

I can think of a few alternatives:

Thank you, this kind of thing is hard to notice before ownership, and it’s great to see possible solutions!

I don't understand your video and concern to be honest.

It amazes me how many hobby woodworker's fall for the combination station concept. I would be tearing my hair out trying to earn a living with one of those thing's. They are just so badly thought out and the price for what your getting ? Forget it.

Sounds to me you got the wrong machine for what you need .
