Journeyman vs Foreman

PS: Not only the Foreman has more depth that takes space that is not present in all workshops, one thing to consider is also that it is difficult to lean over the Foreman’s workarea from the front to clamp workpieces at its workarea end, it would be necessary to be able to walk around the machine. I consider this already necessary for smaller machines, I mean to have a door on both ends (like shown here), but with the Foreman (120 × 120 cm ≙ 48″ × 48″ workarea, total table depth at least 165 cm ≙ 65″), this would add even more space needed for the corridor on the back. Even if I think the rule “buy the biggest you can” in most cases makes sense, at a certain size it rather depends on what you intend to produce and if you have plenty of space.
