Gentlemen,
I have come to a decision that I was trying to avoid. I own a barely used Powermatic 64A 6" jointer and a never used Powermatic 15S 15" planer.
I really want a jointer/planer combination like the Minimax.
Since I cannot sell either unit, I'm going to have to purchase, at a minimum, a 12" jointer.
I would like inputs on what you feel is the best possible buy under $1700.00. I would also like to know what the advantages are with the Parallelogram Jointer type models, over the old style.
Forgot to add, I would like either Tersa blades or Carbide helical.
Thanks for your help.
