10 days ago I took delivery of a new jointer from Grizzly. A search of the classifieds turned up nothing used, so I called in an order and had the new jonter here in three days. I also found a used DC system here in town and quickly went to snap it up for the current project.
I decided to wait until I got through the jointing and glue-up process before I let the gloat out. I love my new jointer! I just finished gluing up 340 BF of Red Oak that I jointed on the new machine....all the difference in the world!
I also like the DC unit....perfect for my portable TS and the jointer. I'll have to upgrade later on, but for now, it's perfect.
For the garage sale 'mini gloat', I found a belt/disc sander for $20 today and it works great...also got another one that has been raided a bit for parts, but has the bed, two rollers and the body intact. It's been a good month for additions to the shop. Next up is a cabinet saw!
