I'm looking at jointers in the $600 range and was considering the typical Jet/Delta but haven't been hearing good things about Delta and Jet doesn't excite me. Because of my price limit I had been looking at 6" jointers, but I see that Grizzly has an 8" for just over my price limit. I know people have been generally satisfied with Grizzly, but I'm hoping for some first-hand experience with this specific model. Also, doesn't Grizzly also require that I pick up the machine myself?
