Jointer Quandry
G'day All
While not a new woodworker I am a long time reader, first time poster to this forum. I am seeking your input about jointers. Without rambling on too much I have reasonable workshop setup in a single garage sized space. My equipment includes a good quality saw bench with router table, 15inch Carbatec thicknesser, 2hp dust extractor and various hand power tools and jigs etc. My hobby has blossomed lately and is beginning to take on a life of its own. As my projects have grown from small trinket boxes to DVD cabinets to built-in floor to ceiling bookcases. I have discovered the need to be able to accuately plane and join boards. The thicknesser fullfils one part of this need but I feel that a jointer is required to complete the set-up. I have convinced the minister of finance to allow up to $1000 for this (at great personal cost). I am seeking your feedback as to the best value for money alternative, ie 6inch V 8inch or Jet V Carbatec V Hafco etc. Any money saved can be spent on other usefull equipment for the workshop. Is the quality of the Jet worth the moola, eg 6inch Jet for nearly 1k or 8inch Hafco for nearly the same dosh.
Thanks in advance.
