8iowa,
Thanks for sharing the difference between these two types of motors. It is knowledge like this that we should consider when purchasing any tools for our work, specially if the characteristics of one or the other have any bearing on our demands.
Though the technical aspects presented are not only valid, the truth is that many of us were led to SS as a result of space and time considerations. I would not doubt that the majority of us would choose to set up our workshops with individual self powered tools - but that takes up space which many do not have (even manufacturers).
At my age, though I worked with wood most of my life (staircases and roofs) and had the space to place individual machines in the workshop, the time has come when other considerations rule my purchases and tool selection: space, time and cost.
I no longer have the ample space I would like (it is now a garage/junk deposit/car shed, etc.) and I must consider not only the machines themselves but the workspace required around them. This is the primary consideration that led me to SS. As far as space efficiency it served the purpose I sought. I might even say that every one of my children and friends are impressed with the efficient handling of this aspect and would turn tomorrow to buy a SS if they even had the minimal space required and the money to pay for this benefit. Notice that I need not speak of the high qualities and scope of the Mark V.
With an ever growing home space problem for most younger people (home costs vs surface - apartments/condos/towers, etc) it is no surprise that this is a very powerful consideration when purchasing any tools. Albeit the fact that SS integrates 5 of the most sought tools it still is larger and heavier to handle than the sum of individual components that can be stacked if one purchases the so called "lunch box tools".
The next and probably strongest determinant overall is time. If I am considering a machine that will be used continuosly or even most of the time for production (maybe 20%) I will go heavy/heavy duty/costly and make space for it in the shop. But if it will only be used occasionally then cost becomes of importance so as not to freeze capital (family expectations and needs) in things that are not fully justifiable.
You got me thinking (after the fact of course) about the time (available and stolen) that I have to pursue woodworking. Projects that would be completed in a couple of days now take a couple of weeks. Before it was a full day's work, today it is a couple (when lucky) of hours in the shop (when the climate is favorable).
If I am going to use a machine less than an hour a week (or even a month) and I can replace it fourfold if something should go wrong, the knowledge that I am purchasing a weaker tool hardly figures on the purchase check list. This is unfortunately something to be taken into account when expanding into accessories of our strong reliable SS.
How often do you use your planer/jointer/band saw/etc. in a normal work session? This will indicate when the excellency of SS becomes a determinant in your purchase - after considering flexibility and space handling.
The younger woodworker is forced to consider these aspects sometimes way above the highly true and realistic issues of technical differences between motors. SS has made a proper and perfect selection for us when designing our tool but at the same time must know that as times change the market changes and though technical considerations are of great importance, apparently secondary aspects have presently made their way in to reduce the importance of the things that you and I look for when we dole out our savings (or earnings) for our hobby/pastime/or side line work.
I share my cent worth not in any way belittling the highly valuable knowledge you have shared here. Thanks.
