I'm still in the hunt for a 8" jointer and the usual suspects are on the list (Grizzly, Delta, Jet, & Shop Fox). I just looked on-line at Steel City jointers - they look like a good value given their features.
- 40620 (75" table; 5.5" x 48" fence; index-able knives (dispozall knives?)
- 40655 (77" granite table; 5.5" x 48" granite fence; index-able knives)
- 40660 (same as above but with a spiral cutterhead)
Highland Woodworking has the 40655 for $849 + shipping and the 40660 is $1049 + shipping. That seems to be a good price if they're any kind of a machine.
Anyone have any knowledge of these machines and could offer some insights/advice?
Thanks in advance . . .
