![]() Laguna finally came out with their new line of jointers. The higher end 8" helical jointer looks nice but at $2750, I think it's out of my range. Interestingly, all of the Laguna jointers are parallogram. There are no more dovetail jointers in their lineup. They have 54 cutters, like Powermatic. The lower end 8" jointer is very similar (1.5HP vs 1.75HP WOW!) but only has 20 cutters and goes for $2000. 20 cutters, really? There is a picture of the cutter head. It looks like a kid missing half its teeth. https://lagunatools.com/classic/jointers/jx8-eco/ Click on the plus sign on the safety cover. It's very different than either the Jet or Powermatic so it's a tough call. |
