Hello,
I am looking to purchase a serious jointer and planer (separate.) I am wanting an 8 inch jointer preferably with a segmented cutter head. For a planer I would love to do a stand alone model and skip the bench top option. I love the idea of getting Powermatics based on the reputation and features. However, putting the Powermatic Model side by side with equivalent Grizzly's they seem virtually the same feature to feature for a lot less money. I have even heard they are made in the same factory. Can anyone speak to quality differences that might be worth the increase in price. The models I am looking at aren't available near me to look at I person so any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Jordan
