Hi Fellas,
I've been combing my various woodworking mags and found something interesting in Grizzly's ad for November's Wood Magazine (issue 194).
They have the G0604x listed for $650 plus free shipping. Now that in itself is a decent deal. But here's the zinger.. The Ad reads:
" 6" PARALLELOGRAM JOINTER with Spiral Cutterhead"
I double checked the website and found no reference to this. In fact, the G0604ZX is their 6" parallelogram jointer with the spiral cutterhead. That jointer cost $845.
So you say, well that is an obvious typo, right? I called Grizzly and the guy said it was indeed a typo.
But I just looked at the newest issue of Popular Woodworking and it has the G0604X listed for $625, but this time it has no mention of the spiral cutterhead. So do they make a mistake on one ad but not on another?
What do you guys think? I just want to know if the deal with the spiral cutter head is legit. If so, it is a no brainer of a deal. Heck, even without it, I think it's a decent deal and I may pull the trigger anyways.
Papa Griz, you out there? Did someone in marketing just fubar the ad in one mag or is this legit?
I should ad that the Jointer pictured in the ad is the G0604X...
Regards...
