I noticed the recent comments about jointers. I just added a 6 inch Jet jointer (model JJ-6CSDX) and it does a great job for a medium priced machine ($800). For most projects a 6 inch jointer is adequate. I have a friend who is a contractor and does a lot of work designing custom woodworking and kitchens. He has both a 6 inch and an 8 inch jointer but he seldom finds a project that absolutely requires the 8 inch jointer. I agree with those of you who suggest getting the best woodworking machines you can afford because it has been my experience you get exactly what you pay for.
