Hi all,
I'm happy to be making my first post here. I've been a long time lurker.
I'm wondering if anyone has experience with Sunhill Machinery. I've found a couple of references on this site, but not much else. Specifically, I'm looking at the 8" SM-204 jointer, and the 15" CT-382A planer. They're both in the sale flyer this month for $595 (reg $795) and $695 (reg $850) respectively.
In December, I was just about to pull the trigger on the Grizzly G0490 jointer and G0453 planer. However, I delayed as we were going to be away for three weeks over the holiday. To my (unfortunate) surprise, Grizz has hiked prices by up to 20% this year. I can't bring myself to pay these new prices when I could have bought them just two weeks ago for so much less. :(
So my search continues, and I've discovered Sunhill. I've seen them mentioned once or twice in FWW, but have never seen a machine in person. There is a surprisingly small amount of info on the net about them too. If anyone has experience with the two models mentioned above, I would very grateful to hear your opinions.
Thank you very much!
Jeff
