    Welcome to FHC rocrook and congrats on the new machine. There may be a few members with the 12-22. I’m just up the road in Winston.

    Generally you ask about a product, and then you order it. In this case, i don’t think that’s necessary! Appear to be well built machines, and anyone who has one and highlighted it here on the forum has loved it. Hope things go smooth and you end up with it as early as you think. Congrats!

    What options and what did you pay if you don't mind me asking? I'm just about to pull the trigger on a gently used 9-16 with 4 way and box wedge. Concerned it might not be enough machine for the money though.

    I got a 4way,6way and a box wedge.looked at the 9/16 but when it was all said and done I got the 12/22 for just about 3000 dollars more and got electric start and auto return .It just made more sense to upgrade one model call Gerry at Easton,add and he will get you fixed up

    Thanks for the info. Did you have to pay any sales or import tax?

    I pulled the trigger on the 9-16. Will post a thread about it soon.
