Recommendations: Jointer, Band Saw
I'm in the market for a 6" jointer and 14" band saw.
I've look at products from King and General (available locally), specifically the following: Bandsaws King # KC-1433FX - http://www.kingcanada.com/Products.htm?ID=58 General # 90-100 - http://www.general.ca/product/inter/90100an.html Jointers King # KC-60FX - http://www.kingcanada.com/Products.htm?ID=91 General # 80-100 - http://www.general.ca/product/inter/80100an.html Does anyone have any specific experience with any of these machines that they would like to share?

Thanks in advance. Dave --- Dave; I recently bought the General 6" jointer, Model 80-100L. I was lucky to get it at the wood show in the Fall where it was a demonstration model so it had been assembled and set up to show off the machines AND I got it for a $100 discount below wood show sale price because it had 3 days of use after the show finished. I have no complaints and I get good reults. I have recently noticed some small lines on my stock so I guess I have somehow nicked the blades. I spent a little time setting up the fence to be square when it was new and I managed to distort the 90-deg. stop bolt, which I thought was a little soft. My machine is the "L" model which has the table extensions. Brian |
