Byrnes Model Machines

Just curious if there’s any recent news on Byrnes Model Machines table saws, I.E., will machines remain the same quality and form?

Maybe call Donna and ask if whoever is building these now apprenticed under Jim. Going back years when I met him at his place he was on his own but I have no idea if he had hired anyone to help him as the business grew from a part time job to a full time gig.

This thickness sander I got a couple of days ago form them is pretty damn nice.

I can't imagine they wouldn't. I believe they may have outsourced the CNC high-tolerance production of various parts and then assembled them in-house.

I just ordered the thickness planer and will let you know of its quality. I don’t expect it won’t meet previous standards. I talked to Donna when I ordered it and I gathered most work was done by a previous employee.
