I am expecting to buy a combo Jointer/Planer soon. I have researched the subject to death and have it down between two machines. The Grizzly G0634XP and the Hammer A-331. I know the Hammer is probably a little better quality. Most of the reviews I have read on the forum have been good. The question is how good is the Grizzly as it costs close to a grand less, maybe more if I get the Silent Power helical head on the Hammer.

Have any of you had the Grizzly in service for more than a year and can you tell me how it has held up. Any information would be appreciated.
