Been looking at jointers from Jet and Grizzly for several days (sparked by the Jet sale) and I am really leaning towards a Grizzly machine. Comparing the G0656PX and G0490X, I don't see many differences, the biggest is the method for adjusting the table. The 0656PX has handwheels, while the 0490X has levers. I would think the handwheels are the way to go but would love to hear pros/cons for each method.
I also looked at the combo machines, but the price may put those out of my range right now. If I can swing it though, what are the benefits (beyond the space saving aspect) and any drawbacks. I have a 23x30 shop, so I have the space for separate machines, but kinda like the thought of having a larger table jointer like on the G0634XP machine.
Thanks!
