   I don't own any, but their reputation among the folks I run with is good -- better than Grizzly.

   It will be interesting to see what the owners/users have to say.

   I owned a Bridgewood 8" jointer and planer that I purchased new 20 years ago.  They are a cut above on quality, install American made motors, and set-up and test before shipping.  I sold these last year since I purchased a European combo to recover some shop space.  I never had a problem with them in the entire time I had them.

        My second attempt at trying to post.  The first didn't seem to go through.  American Woodworker made a test of several twenty inch planers.  The Bridgewood came out on top.  They also ran a teast on several band saws and the Bridgewood came out on top.
