- I'd like to hear feedback/opinions from people who have used/owned/seen
- the Grizzly 8" jointer and/or the Grizzly 20" planer. Are these heavy-duty,
- accurate machines? How much mechanical tinkering was involved with
- making them work accurately. Can the jointer tables be adjusted in
- fine increments? What is changing the blades like?
-
- I'm trying to decide between the combination of these machines or buying
- a more expensive jointer/planer combination machine such as the
- Inca or Robland. If people have had good luck and good results with
- the Grizzly's I'll go with them to save money. But I don't want to
- end up spending all my project time on adjustments/repairs, so if
- you've had to struggle with these machines I'd rather go with the
- combination machine.
-
- Please send me your feedback or post it here. Thanks.
