I've been saving for more than 3 years. Squirreling away a few dollars here and there...asking for Grizzly gift certificates for every gift-giving situation...WAITING for the day to come. Well, today I was finally able to pull the trigger on my jointer! I order the MODEL G0490X, with the spiral cutterhead. :D

I'm floating on air, and can't wait for it to arrive! I ordered it in time for it to get shipped today, so they're saying 3-5 business days. I'm hoping for Friday! ;)

Keith,

Congratulations! You will like it.

I used mine yesterday for a few minutes flattening a blackwood spindle blank. Works as advertised.

Congratulations!!!!

The G0490 is my first and last jointer. It's a very good machine. I wish that Grizzly had the X version when I bought mine, but the knives are fine for my needs.

Congratulations on the purchase and managing to save up for so long to get it. I know many people who would have given up much sooner and settled for less.

I got the call a couple of minutes ago! I am to avail myself to the delivery truck before noon tomorrow to take ownership of my new beastie! I just finished carving out a spot for it in the shop...
