I would like to see a video showing the importance or
advantage/disadvantage of the extendable infeed roller. It seems that
the end of the board would drop down in the void between the roller and
the infeed table if the board crowned up in the middle. And having said
that why no outfeed roller.

Agreed. An extra 8" on a 72" bed doesn't seem like it's worth much
and could be a real problem. I marked that up to the design
marketeering department.

LOL exactly. Hammer offers an extension but is solid iron with no big
gap. I would be more concerned with the gap, on the Laguna, than the
short addition. After all, you run boards through a jointer because
they are not straight or flat. Certainly when the end of the board
falls between the in feed table and the roller the board will lift up on
the out feed side. It may not be an issue but I would have to try it
out before I was convinced that is is a feature and not a problem issue.
