any of you familiar with the Harig Air flo unit?
The unit I'm familiar with, Chevalier, copied from a K O Lee has the head hinged on the base and sprung. The idea is after taking a cut you pull down on the lever in the middle of the base, and it retracts the cutter just enough so you clear the wheel for the return stroke.
I can't see where the harig has this feature? It would seem a pita to use without it but maybe i'm missing something? what's SOP with the Harig?
Also, the Harig has spindles for 5C collets or their bushings....what do the bushings do a 5c doesn't?
