I second that - I went to their showroom expecting to take one home. I ended
up taking the 8" home instead. The 6" just looked sooo puny next to the 8"!
Anyway, I am very happy with the unit.



There is a lot to be said for buying an 8" jointer to begin with. I doubt
seriously you'll need to buy bigger in the future, and I also doubt you'll
regret the sheer manliness of the beast. Mine is a pleasure to use (a North
State/Sunhill clone).

I can't say that for the 6" Delta that it replaced.



Count me in with the "shoulda just bought the 8 inch" crowd. When folks
tell you to forgo the 6" and go directly with the 8" - listen to them.
You will spend less in the long run, since you won't take a hit when you
sell your 6" in order to buy the 8".
