I know 8" is the way to go for jointers, but space being an issue I will have to settle for now and maybe upgrade later. Factoring in the price (since I will be getting a GO555 Ultimate bandsaw too) I am looking at 2 different 6" jointer models from Grizzly which are very similar on paper. GO452 vs GO654
GO654 $409 shipped
http://www.grizzly.com/products/6-x-46-Jointer/G0654
Brand new model
GO452 $439 shipped
http://www.grizzly.com/products/6-Jointer/G0452
Fence seems to be a little bigger
A little heavier
I am considering other models from other manufacturers, but with the built in mobile bases and the price, one of these is surely a fit for the garage/shop.
Does anyone have any experience or opinions about either one of these Grizzly Models? Any opinions or comments are much appreciated. Thanks.
