Another vote for the 735. I just don't like changing the blades. The screws in mine are terrible to remove.
Steve, I have no problem it's a 15 minute job max... maybe after your thumb heals..

They are a little pricey. However, my biggest concern would be the 55" overal table length as opposed to 72-80" on most 8" jointers.I have looked at the jet version of that tool and I to would opt for it if I were doing it all over again. Funney thing is two of the jet dealrs have each had one on their floor since they came out and neither one has sold one.

For the planer, yes. But I have trouble jointing a 6' or longer board on my 48" bed 6" jointer. The longer table is much more critical on the jointer IMHO.Yes I've looked at that but compare to the 20" table on my 735 it would be a big improvement.
Wow Stu, I barely recognised (sp) you...
You could make a mint with a weightloss book.
Not to steal the thread, but my screws strip out all the time. Had to take a dremel tool to them the last time and make flats on the sides so I could remove them. Used a vicegrip and some words, not to be used here. Either going to buy new screws or a new head.

I'd have to write a "Weight Gain" book, and heck, we all know how to do that
