pridmore Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 I've been using an old delta 6" jointer that I picked up from an estate sale. It sucks...and I never did achieve decent results (although I didn't really spend much time trying to dial it in). So I decided to grab this guy: G0495X, 8" helical with parallelogram beds and an 84" bed. I am really excited. I know that opinions on Grizzly range from great! to garbage!, but if I get one of the good ones I'll be all the jointer I'll ever need. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosephThomas Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 Looks massive. Have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaneymack Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 Looks like a sweet machine ! I have a similar machine (different brand) and love it! I'm sure this will be a huge improvement over what you had. Enjoy ! Sent from my SM-N910W8 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric. Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 Hope you have better luck with your Grizzly than I have with all of mine. It's definitely an upgrade from the little Delta...for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keggers Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 Congrats! I had one just like yours until I outgrew it and upgraded to the 12" model. I never had a moments trouble with mine. I sold the 8" to a friend and it's still going strong. You'll love the helical head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denette Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 Awesome! I have a dovetail 8" jointer from Grizzly and it has been awesome. Just be sure you get it set up right! Grizzly is actually really good about having helpful tutorial videos posted on Youtube, so if you have any questions you could check there, they've got lots of video tutorials with their own machines. It's helped many times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
