Delta is offering a $100 rebate on their X5 6" jointer, regular price $579.00 @ Woodcraft.
I've been good all year, and the boss has green-lighted this for my Christmas present.
I was ready to buy the X5, but then I got the November Woodcraft in today's mail -- they have the Rikon 6" jointer on sale for $399.99 ($100 off reg. price) with a mail-in for a free set of replacement blades.
I've heard Rikon makes quality tools, so now I don't know. The Delta is about $80 more after rebate, and no replacement knives, but . . . I'm inclined to buy the Delta (still made in America, right?).
I bought my BT3100 based on BT3Central opinions, so I'm looking for more helpful advice.
Thanks.
