For Christmas my better half is letting me buy a Jointer.
From my research everyone seem to say go with an 8" Jointer. :eusa_danc
I find that Grizzly seems to make a good 8" Jointer. I can't believe I will own 3 products from one manufacture. Amazing in todays world.
Anyway I am looking at the G0490 8" with Parallelogram bed Vs. G0593 8" Jointer with Spiral Cutterhead. The price dffierence is about $245.00
From my research thus far, it seems the Spiral Cutterhead could justify the cost difference.
But I also found the Parallelogram Bed Vs the Dovetail bed is easier to align should that become an issue. Dovetail you have to shim while Parallelogram Bed you can adjust.
So, Do you have suggestions? Do you own one of these? Which would you buy and why?:icon_thum
Thanks for all the great feedback. My objective is to only buy the tool once in my life and be happy. This forum has help me a lot in my buying objectives. And that is due to you. So thanks.:wav:
