Truth is, no jointer in this test fulfills our "dream list" of features and performance. So let's shop a la carte far a minute and build a fantasy 6" jointer, Here's what we want in our" Fran ken jointer";

■ The pedestal power switch and built-in mobile base of the Grizzly G0604X;

■ The long bed and superb cut quality of the General International;

The long, tall, rack-and-pinion fence of the Delta; The precise handwheels of the Jet; The power and be It-tensioning system of the Rikon; The Ridgld's depth scale:

■ The durability and changing ease of the Grizzly G0452Z's carbide cutters;

■ And the quiet performance of the SunhilL

Because no manufacturer delivers all that within this price range, our pick for Top Tool is the Grizzly G06O4X. It wasn't the best at everything, but It has the best combination of cut quality, power, and ease-of-use features, with a reasonable price.

The Ridgid JP0610 surprised us with its power and cut quality, earning the Top Value award- For a modest $430 we can live with its few quirks. ♦
