Ridgid Jointer Returns?

[Eagan]

I see that Home Depot is again offering a Ridgid jointer. Is this the same machine that they stopped selling some time ago, or havve they "improved" it in some fasion.

Looks to be the same machine I paid less than $200 for 2 yrs ago

Interesting comment in the write up.

"on-board storage for accessory items"

Other than push blocks, what accessory items are needed with a jointer? (mine sit on top of the infeed table)

Extra set of knives maybe?

Along with whatever tool allows for their adjustment/removal, I'd bet.

Was a good looking jointer, would have picked it up had it not gone up in price both new and used when I was looking.

Thats probably it.

I've seen jointers with little pockets for the push blocks to rest in. They have nice slots for the handle to protrude through.

Maybe whatever assembly tools that came with it.
