joiner/planer combo

Please need your advise on new joiner and plane for my shop.
Was looking online at the Grizzly G0675 combo.

One of the most important things is ease of changing and aligning new
blades.

Your input appreciated.

I think ease of changing blades should only be a deciding factor after all
other qualifications have been met.

So if the machine produced lousy results it would be ok as long as the
blades were easy to change?

Of course not. I want a tool that produces quality results.
However, the Rigid joiner I had was a real pain to align new blades.

my opinion I would buy the G0586 8" jointer for $650 and get a 12"
desktop planer dwalt maybe.

Short tables on jointer are really not a great idea. Yes it would be
nice to have a 10" capacity for jointing but that is much more rare
(at least for me) than wanting to get a good flat edge on a long
board, where the long table is essential.

Matters somewhat on what you do.

For changing baldes on any mid level machine just get a good magnetic
fixture.

Were you using the magnetic set up gauge designed specifically for
joiners?
