anyone seen new Jet Jointer
I was at Jets website and see they have a new long bed 6" jointer JJ-6CSDX.
It's bed is 56 " long vs 46" on the other 6" jointer. Anyone have a chance to check this beast out yet? Went to Woodcraft and several other websites and it's not listed. -- Mike S. http://members.tripod.com/n0yii/woodworking.htm |

It looks like they may have adapted/rebranded the Powermatic 54a and added handwheels. Maybe its superior to the Powermatic which is a fine jointer. Bob |

Bob Look again, it looks just like Jet's closed stand jointer, nothing like the Powermatic.. My bet is they just cast longer wings and used he frame from the old 6" Greg |

Actually, I just got one here at the office on Monday. Haven't had a
chance to play with it yet, although I did get to try out a preproduction unit at an editor's preview at the Jet facility in Illinois a few months ago. I like it a lot, and am eager to give the new one a workout. A.J. Greg O wrote: "BillyBob" wrote in message ink.net... "Mike S." wrote in message ...
