Me and the 700 Pound Polar Bear #1: Delivery
So, it all started many months ago, I have been wanting to replace my Delta 6” Jointer and HF 12” planer for some time. In my small shop, there is not enough room for both to fit and be available easily. Additionally, the 6” jointer width limited me to the lumber that I could pickup from the lumber dealer, the boards had to be about 6” wide, or I would have to rip them down to fit the jointer. That coupled with the fact that my planer, while ok, was not stellar and had some snipe issues. I have been drooling over a 12” Jointer / Planer combo for some time. I was ready to drive 5 hours to the Tent sale last September, but the jointer/planer was not in stock...
