Why would someone buy this *new* jointer at 365 pounds, when they could
have the G0490 for the same price, at 200 pounds more. Because they had

only shows 24 lb difference and you don't know where that is...the
descriptions say the G0857 base cabinet is "sheet metal" while the other
is "pre-formed steel"...the only Al mentioned in either is the knife
guard is Al on the G0857 but that can't be but a pound or less at most...

Taiwan vs China is the biggest difference...
