I currently possess no jointer and only miss it occasionally.

I'm on and off as a woodworker, and mainly seem to do kitchen cabinets
and such (i.e. plywood, w/solid trim out). (The never ending
kitchen... pics coming soon - I hope).

I keep thinking I'll find time (and one day I will!) to expand my
horizons.

So, whadya think about acquiring an 8" jointer, used, made in usa? I
fear these might become a rarity, and I'm not too happy with the
chinese crap i've gotten - even delta's x5 line.

Idea being, I _might_ need it one day (right?) and it may not be
available except as chinese junk.

Thanx

I have a Delta Milwaukee 8", from the mid-fifties vintage, completely
rebuilt and tweaked by a fellow I know and trust.

I still only use it maybe once a year.

They come around, if you feel that you might need one in the future. Mine
currently blocks easy access to some storage shelves.

Don't be in too big a hurry, is what I'm saying, I guess.
