I mean a General Gloat.
I got a General 650 from Santa a couple years ago. I've been very impressed with the quality and tolerances of this tool and brand.
I've got several large projects coming up and with the Redmond sale, I just couldn't resist when I saw the prices. You can see the wood pile for one of the projects behind the new arrivals.
The CFO approved the 14" planer (model 130) and the 8" jointer (model 480). Due to the Holbren sale (thanks Brian), I also have a couple Byrds flying my way.
With the 90 degree turn and steep, narrow stairs to my basement shop, I wouldn't want to try to get anything bigger down those stairs.
I cleaned them up a bit, but I have a lot more to do. Altho with birthdays, Mother's day, retirement gifts for teachers etc, these two may sit for a bit before I can get to them.
