Anyone have any experience with this tool? I notice they have a model that doesn't require flopping over the jointer table to use the planer. Seems like a step in the right direction for these combo type machines.

No it's not. I had an Inca Jointer/Planer, which did not have to be flipped. MAde it tougher to work the thicknesser.

It might be the best made woodworkign machine I've ever seen.
