Backward COMPATIBILITY!

Kinda hard to run the jointer with no idler shaft.

It was an upgrade, not a redesign.

Considering the rational definition of the goal, I think an excellent job was done.

Compromises, as necessary, sure, but backward compatibility was not one of them.

They should have sent a new one in the box and have him send his old one back

I think SS should sue Gass(or his corporate successor) over trademark infringement by his using Two capitol 'S'es in his trademark. :( :rolleyes: :D
