    which thicknesser are you comparing things to? If their lunchbox "spiral head", "helical" unit,
    TH-BX330P, then that's a segmented head unit and not like their spiral head in the
    CTJ-350X (now JN-X200C) unit.... I'd only expect it'll be a better finish, not worse. There's plenty of straight bladed C'tec's out there (and by now probably a decent number of the spiral ones too).

    The woodfast has more power as well as saving you some dollars. Hare and Forbes 8'' jointer with the extra spiral head is cheaper again and also the full 2hp.
