: I am planning to purchase a grizzly 2hp dust collector and a 6" jointer.
: On the jointer I don't know if I should buy the grizzly for the price or
: the delta for the quality. Anyone know of any tool comparison sites.

If you can afford it and have the room, look into 8" models or the long bed 6" Powermatic. The longer bed makes a difference in jointing longer boards used for strip building. For shorter length boards, it may not make much difference. If you can get an 8" for the same price of a 6", I'd definitely go that route. I don't think you will regret it.

Crass marketing plug...I still have my Delta 6" bench top jointer that I'd be willing to sell for a good price to anyone interested.
