    One question you may want to do a little homework on is, how easy is it to change out and reset the knives? One of the most common complaints about jointers is how difficult it is on some models to get all the replacement knives level and at the same height.

    I have the Grizzly G0452 6" Jointer. I have only used it a few times and it is not getting packed up for the move, but I have been very happy with the performance so far, and since it is on wheels it works great for me. The first thing I discovered was check your dust collection often. I have a 26 gallon shop vac and it filled up quickly. Once it fills up it starts spewing shavings everywhere.

    I just saw a listing for the delta JT360 on Amazon for $300 no shipping.
    I am also looking at the 6" yorkcraft and Grizzly. These are both about $400 after shipping. Any recommendations? Anyone have a JT360??
    If you search for JT360
    there are no less than 23 threads which mention this jointer.
    Well, 22 if you don't count yours.

    I would say at $300 with free shipping it is a good deal and a very servicable jointer.
    It does weigh some 200+ pounds so take that into account when its delivered.
