Looking at the new Grizzly 8" jointer

[Terre Hooks]

Has anyone seen or heard about the new 8" Grizzly jointer?

[Richard Wolf]

Uh oh!!

[Jim Dunn]

ROLF Rich!! I just spit out a whole mouth full of milk on my desk.

[Jeff Watson]

I wish I could have seen all the replies to the tread I started the other day concerning the new 8" machine coming from the green and white company out of Washington. Oh well.

[Dan Forman]

Terry, just so you know, they are referring to this: http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthre...ewpost&t=28029

A test of the SMC code of civility, that is.

Can we discuss this new and intriguing machine and keep the thread alive while doing so?

Should you accept this mission and achieve failure, we'll never know.....

The challenge is yours.

Would it be legal for me to repost my composit picture of all the DJ-20 jointers together?

If it isn't, then this forum has lost all usefulness, IMHO.

Lighten up, guys.

[Jim Becker]

Folks, the reason that the original thread is in "limbo" is because there were some "strong comments" that just plain made the conversation "not fun" any more. I do not believe that Dev's pictures were any kind of problem since they merely represent several machines that are out there on the market.

Please remember that we welcome anyone at SMC with an interest in woodworking and that includes folks from manufacturers and vendors who respond thoughtfully to questions and/or post information about their own woodworking projects. There is a difference between that and "marketing" or "advertisement"...

Now back to the question at hand!

[Gary Whitt]

A woodworking friend of mine has the Griz 8" jointer.
He loves it and said it was the best 8" out there.

Me, I just have a 6" Jet.

[tod evans]

there is a photo of this machine in the new issue of woodshop news.

[Alan Henderson]

Is the Jet because of your shop size or the size of wood you work with?

[Alan Henderson]

I have the G0500 and it is a good one. Have made no adjustments in a year of use, other than raising or lowering the infeed.

BTW, you spelled your first name wrong.

Sorry...I was talking to that Terr(e) guy.
