And, even though I agree with Jim Miller's the thrifty man pays the most in the long run approach to tool purchases, the Inmes machine was an extremely good value. I found the feature set of this machine to be extremely well thought out, a distillation of the best available approaches rather than just a simple off-shore knockoff. I checked out every underpinner at the show and chose the Inmes for the following reasons.ġ) It is a robust machine based on the tried and true alphamachine pattern with some very clever innovations: a joystick that can be positioned right or left and a ramp system for changing nail sizesĢ) It had the features I was looking for - stationary clamping with movable pin placement, two position hydraulic clamps, quick nail size changover and a configuration that allows the operator to work from the back of the machine. ![]() ![]() I ordered a Inmes 5p from PAM equipment at the Atlanta show. Whether that is worth the extra money is a decision for you to make. The more sophisticated the machine, the more speed, accuracy, and convenience you will enjoy. Manual v-nailers are OK when time and convenience are not issues, such as for hobbyists, photographers and artists who will use it only occasionally.įor any production situation, a pneumatic machine's extra cost will be recovered in a short time with convenience and savings of time. If initial cost is an issue, delay buying until you can pay the price of the most suitable machine. My advice is to investigate all of the machines on the market, look for value and buy the machine that best fits your needs for at least the next five years. Then you'll buy the machine you should have bought in the first place. ![]() And once you buy it, you will probably learn to tolerate it you'll be "tweaking" it, manipulating it, and finding ways to make it work until you can't stand it any longer. If a cheaper underpinner is inconvenient to use, or if it has limitations such as moulding size or profile or hardness of wood, or if extra time is need to set up, or if you have to re-do miters once in a while, the dollars saved are used up in a short time - and the deficiencies go on costing you for as long as you have the machine. Initial price is a small part of the eventual total cost of owning and operating it. Do not be impressed with a low price on any shop machine.
