I am looking to upgrade my jointer and this is the machine I keep seeming to lean twords.
I read all good reviews on it but I trust my fellow lumber jocks more then the goonies on amazon so I come here asking if anyone has experience with this machine.

If I remember that was the one I had before the Grizzle spiral head I have now and it was a good jointer.
If you budget will allow you might consider a spiral head jointer for smoother jointing and also for ease of blade changes
