After many moons of waiting for stock to arrive, and then many more moons of fighting with the local UPS freight system, my new jointer has finally arrived.

Here I walk through the unboxing and assembly of this monster. I do get to make a couple cuts at the end, but I wouldn't consider this a full review. I'll save that for after I've used the tool for a while.

Here's the jointer itself: grizzly.com/products/8-Jointer-with-Spiral-Cutterhead/G0490XW
