Opinions needed on first jointer purchase, I want to build some
furniture,
china cabinet, build in book cases, possibly a bed,. some night
stands,
things on that order,

I'm going to look at a JET 708457DXK JJ-6CSDX 6-Inch for $550

http://www.amazon.com/708457DXK-JJ-6...pr_product_top


and also a Craftsman Professional 6 1/8" jointer
1/2" rabbiting capacity with a 46" cast Iron table model # 152.217060
for $300 about 4 years old.

I don't have a link to this.
Both are said to be in like new condition.

Is the difference between the Jet and the Craftsman worth
the cost difference, I could use the price difference toward
the cost of buying a planer next ,so it does matter to my budget.
as I am retired now and on fixed income
Thanks for any thoughts
