The test cuts were good, with the motor showing no tendency to bog down. The Delta had the flattest table and little wheel or tire runout. The tension spring was heavy duty, and the fence was our favorite. The Delta has cast-iron wheels and trunnion support.

Grizzly G0495X Industrial Helical Cutterhead 8-in. Jointer
Regardless of the board’s grain, this jointer produced excellent results. Its fence was totally flat, worked smoothly, and locked well, staying in place even after jointing multiple edges. Getting the fence to 90° was very easy, but the 90° stop was a little tricky to set and the fence did not go back to square when using it. For those who would use it, there is also a digital depth-of-cut scale.
