Ever have the itch to buy something that's so bad you can't work or sleep for thinking about and researching it? I've got it bad for a jointer and planer. The combo machines got me itching real hard, and i almost pulled the trigger on the Mimimax FS30, but researching these boards and my gut feeling tells me I might be happier in the long run with separate machines. Even though I've never owned a Grizzly product, I'm leaning right now in the direction of the G1033X and G0609x. I've read everything I can find and have found little to be concerned with (is 3hp enough for a 12" jointer?). I'm really no more than a weekend warrior when it comes to woodworking, but I really enjoy working with high quality, accurate machines. It's hard to beat Grizzly's prices, and I'm counting on general impressions I get from studying creeker comments that at this level I'll be happy with the Griz's. Am I missing something obvious?
