- I'm in the market for a six inch jointer and the many choices have got me confused.
- If my wallet was big enough I'd get the Delta DJ15, I've also looked at the
- Delta six inch motorized unit but I don't care for the short bed and extruded
- aluminum fence. So its one of AMT 4183, Jet JJ-6CS, Grizzly G1182, Sunhill CT-60L,
- or Bridgewood BW-6R and BW-6J. These all have 6x42-52 inch beds, 4x28 inch fences,
- made in Taiwan, and sell for $350 to $450. I'm looking for opinions and
- past experiences with any of the above machines.
-
- Quality is my main concern. In the past I ordered a table saw from AMT and found
- the castings to be rough and pitted - they did honor their 20 day return policy.
-
- Any input would be appreciated - Thanks.
