Your telling me to compare apples to apples and your comparing a grizzly
jointer to a powermatic and a delta DJ-15 you make no sense what so ever.I
was comparing similar machine like the jet jointer wich now sells for $500
and the delta 1hp closed cabinet base $500 as well not the Chiwanese 3/4 hp
open base jointer.So at $380 great machine great price.

FWIW, $380 for a jointer isn't exactly a GREAT price. G

The Rigid, which appears to use many of the same parts as the
Grizzly, is $369 at a local BORG. A local dealer sells the Jet 6" for
$439. Delta's got Chiwanese machine that sells for about $375.

Compared apples to apples, Grizzly pretty much gives you what you pay
for. The Grizzly 6" is NOT a Powermatic long bed, and it's not a
DJ-15.
