Artisan 3200 BT

[Dennis Paish]

Greetings,
Any feedback on the new bench model Artisan 3200 BT? Space is a big concern in my shop and I like the idea I can put it away when not in use.

Thoughts?

Dennis, I'm not sure the 3200BT has been out long enough for meaningful feed back, but it should pretty well mirror the the feed back on the regular 3200 with the added advantage of extreme portability, and dual power sources. Portability in this case would be installation in a trailer or similar because it is still to heavy for ME to lug around without considerable assistance.

Now, our buddy Leatherman can lift a Toro 4000 head and cary it quite a distance...and I've seen him do it.

I'm still feeling that hike out the door! Though I did learn after an incident with an over sized ceramic kiln a few years ago to lift with the legs not the back. Those muscles at the small of my back still haven't forgiven me.

If this 3200 is an all in one model and is anywhere close to the weight of the 4000 head, then I'd day get a good (I mean GOOD) weight belt before you try to do it more than once a week.

PS, the motor and table of the 4000 actually weighs more than the head.
