People like it. Search the archives. You'd better live close to Wilke,
though, or they'll stiff you on freight. For those who live elsewhere, the
Grizzly machines are a better deal.

Not sure the size your looking for, if your on the westcoast; look at
Sunhill. I spoke to the folks at Yorkcraft and asked them how the felt
about the Sunhill jointers. They had nothing but good things to say about
them and said they're a stepup from the Yorkcraft line, competitive with
their Bridewood line. Sunhill is backordered on the 6" but they've got a
good deal on the 8" with "blemished" tables due to moisture. I order one
last Thursday and they had it at my door this Tuesday. $850 delivered to
Los Angeles with liftgate in perfect condition.

I emailed wilkemachinery to find out what their shipping is to southeast Mo.
Only about $4. difference between their 6" and the Grizzly 1182Z. Also
noticed that the Yorkcraft has the switch mounted high like the Delta X
jointer and has the wheels built into the cabinet. Figuring 40-50 bucks for
a mobile base that brings the price to a noticable difference. I also looked
at the Craftsman 6 in. pro at Sears and wasn't to impressed. I'll post on
which one I get and how it turned out.

Hi Mike, I have YC 6" one. Love it, no probems. Have had it for about 18
months. Paid $299 + I believe $84 for shipping to Knoxville, TN. Incl.
lift gate truck.

Hi Mike,

I have had the 6" Yorkcraft for about a year now and have been very happy
with it. When I purchased mine I looked at the Grizzly also and thought the
shipping would be much cheaper however there was only a small difference (to
FL). It went together pretty well, the fence works well, is easy to adjust,
and stays square. I have delt with the folks at Wilke on several occasions
and they have always been great. I would buy another. If you have the
extra $$ and the space, you may want to look at the 8" YC.

Good luck,
Scott

That's $4.00 DIFFERENCE...not total for shipping

I am not sure you can get it at $4, I paid more than $250 for freight to
KC.

I have an 8 inch Yorkcraft. It is, in my view, a wonderful machine. Gets
things straight, flat and square. What more could one ask for? Even with
shipping to Maine, I think it was a great deal.

If you sell. How much do you want? I can arrange shipping with pickup and
crating if price is worth it.

and I can do without it. I'm in Kansas City.
