Cross Post - so excuse me if your on another forum also
I heard after the 1st of November 2009 that the Jet 1642 EVS 1.5 that is now 1799 at WoodCraft will be on sale 15% off. Brings it to 1530 before tax. Grizzly G0632 is 1425 plus 95 shipping. That is 1520.
So a 10 dollar spread plus tax (8 percent for me) or 132.40 gets me 4 more years of warranty.
That is a no brainer there in my book.
I have read a lot on these units, based on this sale the Jet 1642 EVS is the best deal (After November 1st)
BUT !!!!
Hard to do apples to apples though. On the two above units the Jet is 115v 1phase and the Griz is 220v 1phase.
With all the phantom motor HP ratings today, I wonder if true apples to apples for the Griz G0632 is the Jet 1642 EVS 2 Unit. Both of these are 220v 1phase units. Based on that type of comparison - yes I've done this also...
Grizzly G0632 - 220v 1phase - 1425.00 + 95.00 Freight = 1520.00 with a 1 year warranty.
Jet 1642 EVS 2 - 220v 1phase - 1785.00 + 8% tax (142.80) + No Freight Store Pick Up = 1927.80 with 5 year warranty.
This is a 407.08 spread on these two units and that spread I am having trouble justifying.
One way to tell , I think, Is if folks can tell me how big around is their motor case in inches on the g0632 and the Jet 1642 (Both EVS and EVS2).
I saw the PowerMatic 20 inch 2hp motor next to the Jet 1642 EVS 1.5 and the case is surely larger around on the PowerMatic (Wish it was in the budget)
One final consideration is the Jet Warranty - If you use your unit commercial (What is that if your selling what you make out of your shop?) . In that case the Jet only has a 1 year warranty and the Grizzly G0632 is the best deal all the way around..
Man this is driving me crazy. I keep changing my mind even as I write this thread.
Those motor sizes would help a lot.
Thanks,
Mike
