This is my first post although I been reading and learning from this great forum for some time now. I've learned that you can learn alot just by keeping your mouth shut and listening for awhile. I would like to have a bit of advice on a possible jointer purchase and respect the opions on here.
I'm going to look at a Grizzly G0500 8 inch jointer. This will be my first jointer. I was holding out for a Grizzly G0490 but came across this one that is used but used very little (minutes of use not hours) It comes with a Shop Fox mobile base. Asking price is 500.00. Should I consider this or wait for the G0490 with paralleogram beds? This will be quite cheaper as its local and there will not be any shipping charges. I like to buy machines 1 time with the thought that it will serve me well for a long time. Additionally is the price in the ballpark? Thanks in advance for any help that is provided.
