[Woodcarver] Power Tool Recommendations?

[RAY MIGHELLS]

I'll go with Joe on the tools;  I've had a 3hp Jet shaper and a HD Jet lathe 
w/l7" swing and lever speed control for almost 20 years and haven't had any 
problems with either.  I also had a 14" Jet bandsaw that I gave to my 
brother-in-law when I moved up to an 18" Grizzly.  I've had good luck with 
Grizzly tools too;  I have a 20" planer w/4 knife cutter head;  a 14" table 
saw I use for almost all my edge joining.  I do a LOT of edge gluing and 
find that I can get a truer edge on the table saw than with a jointer where 
you can get edge wobble and end snipe.  My spindle sander, belt sander, dust 
collection system and planer knife grinder are all Grizzly.  I like doing 
business with Grizzly.  They are very responsive.  I have no interest in the 
company except as a satisfied customer.  As far as the magazines go,  I like 
Carving magazine very much, both for the content and because I feel 
priviledged to be aquainted with some of the contributors.  Regards  Ray

> Jet equipment is what I would recommend for good equipment if you're a

> I would (bias opinion coming) recommend Carving Magazine. We try to keep 

> the magazine as a teaching tool. Marnie Whillock, [who spent her life 

> around the woodcarving world, has carving experience, owned a woodcarving 

> gallery, and sells woodcarving tools and supplies] is our knowledgeable 

> editor. She does a fine job at keeping the magazine focused on being a 

> usable tool to woodcarvers at all levels. Carving Magazine is unique is 

> that it has full size fold out patterns. Carving Magazine is published by 

> All-American Crafts and can be found on many magazine racks. You may also 

> call me for subscription information at the number below during normal 

> business hours. There are 4 issues per year, 100 pages each, $19.95 for 

> one year or $39.90 two year (9 issues) includes one free bonus issue.

> I'm very biased because I'm on the staff and also write the "Ask Joe"
