Another thread about rusty jointers from Grizzly got me to thinking.
This is my current shopping/wish list from Grizz...
G0654 6" x 46" Jointer $395.00
ship $74.00
G0505 12-1/2" Planer $295.00
Ship $44.00
G0555 The Ultimate 14" Bandsaw $435.00
ship $74.00
G7314 Heavy-Duty Mobile Base $69.95
Sub $1,386.95
Tax $113.73
Total $1,500.68
This is an alternative shopping list for Ridgid products
RIDGID 6 1/8 In Model JP0610
$429.00
no shipping
RIDGID 13 In. 3-Blade Thickness Planer Model R4330 $369.00
no shipping
RIDGID 14 In. Band Saw With Stand Model BS1400 $369.00
no shipping
sub $1,167.00
tax $95.69
Total $1,262.69
Now that you see the price range I am working in, what would you do differently? Please don't say "for $100.00 more you could....". $1500.00 is my absolute ceiling.
I don't know if I will ever have the need to resaw something over 6". I like having the option to put an extension on if needed at some point in the future.
Thanks for your input
