re: Supermax 19/38?

I also have the jet and love it.
I also worked on the delta in classroom setting and it was fine. I like the open frame of the jet though.
I must say I use it much more that the planer and almost more than any other too besides the table saw.

The drum does need to be paralleled to the bed from time to time.

If I were to buy a new one I would go for a dual drum. and wider too.
