In the market for a new 8" jointer, looking for a helical or spiral cutterhead, have it narrowed down to these two models. From what I can gather, the dimensions are slightly different but not significantly so, with small differences in the number of cutterheads and RPM's, etc. I've also read the G0858 is a few hundred pounds lighter, which may be concerning, but overall they both look like very similar machines outside of the price.
Does anyone have any experience with the difference or recommendations between the two?
