I'm considering going with a 12" or 16" new jointer. The usual suspects are Laguna, Powermatic, Oliver. Also a brand called Ironwood I've never heard of. The specs on these machines are all very similar. Does anyone have any insight into the build quality--or are all of these basically coming out of the same factory? SCM is also in the running, selling at at $3k premium over similar models. Any experience with the SCM?
Thanks in advance!
