Grizzly G0947 8-Inch Benchtop Jointer with Spiral-Type Cutterhead
Eight inches of cut width on a bench, which is the main reason to pick this over a 6-inch machine. The tables pull out to 52 inches, so it handles longer stock than its footprint suggests. A good fit if your shop is a garage and a floor jointer isn't happening.
