Grizzly G0958 8-Inch Combo Planer/Jointer with Helical Cutterhead

One machine that joints and planes, which is the whole reason to consider it. If your shop is small and you need both jobs done, this buys you the pair for the price of one. You pay for that with a changeover every time you switch modes.

Grizzly G0986 10-Inch Benchtop Jointer with Spiral-Type Cutterhead

Ten inches of width on a benchtop, with cast iron tables instead of aluminum. That combination barely exists elsewhere at this price. It's the pick if you want to face wide boards but still can't give up the floor space.
