Well, believe it or not, everyone who responded to my thread actually helped me get the joiner. My wife read what everyone wrote and told me if it really is that good of a tool and you promise you won't ever want to upgrade it, then go ahead. I ended up paying the full $850 for it, but the previous owner only used it in his personal shop for about 2 years and then moved into metal working. I did get the owner to throw in free delivery. I will post more pictures when I get it in my shop........Do you believe that she actually bought the "I promise to never want a better machine in the future" line again, this has to be the tenth time I have used it.
