So I've got a line on an 8" jointer and a 15" planer for $1K total. They're both rebuilds, being rebuilt and sold by a guy I took a sharpening class from. He's a pro woodworker and seems pretty trustworthy. It seems like a good deal to me, but there's a few wrinkles:

1. They're big and my shop/shed is small--like 12x15 small--and full of crap. They do come on mobile bases, though.
2. They're both 240V, and I am certainly not wired for that (I'm still running extension cords out the window for my table saw), so this would be a buy now, run later once I get the electrical done type of thing.

They're both Grizzly models: The jointer is a G1018 and the planer is the equivalent of a G0453, although it has legs, not a cabinet.

What do you guys think? Good deal, wrong time? Bad deal? Oh my god don't pass it up?
