In response to customer inquiries for a
wide jointer without an overly long footprint, Grizzly now offers the
G0706: it's a 12" jointer with a combined table length of just
60." The machine's 3hp motor drives an indexed cutterhead that's
outfitted with 60 carbide inserts. Each insert has four sharp edges
that can be loosened and rotated to a fresh edge without extra
knife-setting hassles. A serpentine belt between the motor and
cutterhead ensures smoother power transfer. The jointer's cast-iron
infeed and outfeed tables are parallelogram-style and stress-relieved
for added accuracy, and they can be adjusted independently with two
front-mounted hand wheels. Its cast-iron fence has positive stops at
45°, 90° and 135°.
Other amenities include a
pedestal-mounted On/Off switch, heavy-duty steel cabinet and a 5"
dust port. The G0706 has a street price of $2,195.
