New Grizzly Jointer Arrived (and slowly coming together)

[Cameron Handyside]

Thought I would post a few pics of my new GO656PX. I did a lot of soul-searching and finally decided on the 8" with spiral cutter head. UPS delivered it last Tuesday and the delivery man wheeled it right into my shop for me. The crate and box both looked in good shape. I'm slowly getting it together and in general pleased with the construction. Initial checking shows the bed to be dead flat and dovetail ways work smoothly. It's my first 220v tool so I'm getting a plug today and hope to fire it up tomorrow. My only complaint is I wish the final fit and finish were a little better. I'll definately need some touch up paint where the finish flaked off. My guess is oil on the cast iron was not completely cleaned before painting.

Flat tables and smooth acting ways......What else is there?
Bet that you're gonna be well pleased.

My Grizz lathe, bandsaw, and table saw have been good investments.
