I purchased the Rigid 6" jointer also and have been very pleased with it. Well made and does a good job.

Okay, thanks guys!

I'll head to Home Depot to check out the Rigid (hopefully they have it in stock here). I was looking, and Grizzly makes a model in the same price range ($25 more, +shipping, - tax). I've read reviews that the base is pretty flimsy, though.

Thanks for your input!

I believe you will find the Rigid to be a good and well built machine. Let us know when you bring it home :sold:

Saltysteel,

Congrats on the purchase and the savings as well. I know you will be extremely happy with the new toys and especially the $ saved that can be applied toward the DC.

I remember back around the end of last year, I looked for every bargin I could find and saved more than enough to pay for a major piece of equipment. Seems like everyone was offering 20% off and then some when you make the borg price match plus 10% for having to do so. Kind of gives you that warm fuzzy feeling to beat the system once and a while huh?

Good luck on the workshop move. Seems like I'll never get finished setting mine up "just the way I want it".
