I found a Jet 8" for $1075 with a $100 rebate and free shipping. So, $975 delivered.
I found a Powermatic 8" jointer for just about $1100. I can drive and get it. $50-$60 in gas and a good part of a day shot. So say $1175 total.
Grizzly's is $790 delivered and they are not in stock last I heard.
I know Powermatic makes good machines. I am familiar with JET but I have never seen one. I know Grizzly, I have a couple of their machines.
So is the big mustard worth another $150 over the Jet?
Are either of them worth 300+ over the Grizzly??
After doing the numbers I am leaning toward Grizzly.
