Hi,
I'm sure I'm one of at least a few here that have a Grizzly jointer on backorder. My original order was for a 0656- 8" jointer. Current estimated date it comes off of back order is end of Jan, 2019. When looking around yesterday on their site, I saw they now have new 8" jointer models (0855) which appear to be roughly in the same class and roughly the same price range. Upon contacting Grizzly, they said the new models will come off of back order basically basically a week later than the 0656.
Does anyone have any insight on the new vs older models? I'm trying to figure out if, besides the obvious price difference, what is the difference. I see substantial difference in weight, and a bit of difference in RPMs, but otherwise, looks like a wash....
thanks
