additional thoughts on jointer

like getting up to go to work, and which road if going to be closed this week , not to mention all the rest.. Makes it a lot easier to remember the good things hehehe CC

Not to start this up again, but, I just received the current issue of WOOD magazine (issue 189) and contained in it on page 54 is a comparison of 6" jointers.

Might be worth it to grab an issue just to see what is recommended.

Best Buy - Grizzly G604X at $575 (has its own wheels) Top Value - Rigid JP0610 at $430

This I wrote down.I didn't want to forget it while in Lowe's getting light bulbs or some such for the wife CC

The next issue of Fine Wood Working magazine will have a cover article "Mill wide boards on a small jointer."

How do I know this? I just made my cover pick again! I was batting 1,000 on my choices until the last two issues... ;~)

I have found that I NEED a calendar to tell the day of the week let alone the date....

The perpetual calendar: "TODAY".

Hell, I can't even find the day of the week on the calendar anymore,,, The only way I know when it is Thursday, is when the neighbors set out their trashcans to be emptied the next day. If I don't notice mine doesn't get picked up. I quit wearing a watch when I stopped working,,, The only way I know it's time to get up in the morning is when the cats drag the covers off me so I will get up and feed the little critters. Cats have a built in alarm clock CC

Many of us have learned that the only day you enjoy a cheap tool is the day you pay for it. If you can afford it, go for the better jointer. I bought a 8" North State jointer a few years ago and while I seldom need its full capacity, I always enjoy using it.
