Thread: Thinking about buying a 8 inch jointer? Give this a read

Hi guys, recently I spent some time writing up a "review" style article on the Hafco 8" jointer.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who gets a little apprehensive about buying machines which are a couple of hundred dollars cheaper compared to other models of similar specs.

But after owning it for a while now I can say it was one of my better purchases iv made for my shop and I outline why in this article

anyway if you want to give it a read here is the link:
Review: Hafco P200-h Planer/Jointer | Jordswoodshop.com

Here is a short excerpt

Iv owned the Hafco p200-h for over a month now and over all im very pleased with the machine.
After dreaming about owning my very own jointer for over a year I finally bit the bullet and bought this 8″ 2hp unit. I had a few options when it came to jointers, and the decision was to be between the Hafco, Carbatec and Sherwood units, and in this case the hafco won the battle, value for money was great at $990 it was the cheapest 8″ jointer I could find locally, although price played a big roll in my decision it certainly wasnt the only contributing factor to my choice.
